The Actress Angelina Jolie, Part One

Everyone seems to focus on Angelina Jolie's adoptions, charities, weight, relationship with Brad Pitt, rivalries with Jennifer Aniston, Megan Fox etc., no one seems to actually focus on the actress Angelina Jolie.

Angelina has done thirty five movies, counting her current project "Salt".
She started out with her very first movie "Lookin’ to Get Out" in 1982 at the age of seven.
The film was written by Al Schwartz and her father,Jon Voight, and Angelina appears as Jon's character's daughter "Tosh" near the end of the film.

Of course she didnt show up in film again until 1993's Cyborg 2 as Casella "Cash" Reese.
Cyborg 2 was actually part of a trilogy starting with Cyborg (starring Jean-Claude Van Damme) and ending with the direct to video Cyborg 3: The Recycler.
In the third movie, Angelina's character was played by Khrystyne Haje.

Then came 1995's Without Evidence where Angelina starred with Scott Plank (Melrose Place).
But Angelina's other 1995 was the cult hit "Hackers".
Angelina starred in it as Kate Libby also known as "Acid Burn".

1996 saw three movies with Angelina come out, Mojave Moon ( with Danny Aiello, Anne Archer, Michael Biehn, Alfred Molina and Peter MacNicol), Love Is All There Is (a romantic comedy film) and Foxfire.

In 1997 Angelina had three more projects.
Two TV movies (True Women and George Wallace) and a theatrical release, Playing God ( with David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton and the awesome Peter Stormare).
Playing God didn't do very well, but the TV movie George Wallace got Angelina a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Series/Miniseries/TV Movie, and an Emmy Nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie.

So finally, Angelina Jolie was getting some attention.

Angelina Jolie's Version of "The Little Black Dress"

Out of all the Angelina Jolie news this week. it seems like the most popular topic was the dress she wore to the premiere of Quentin Tarantino's (and Brad Pitt's of course) new movie.
Everyone seemed to like the skin tight black leather dress and thought she looked great in it.
Maybe she wore the dress to kill the pregnancy rumors.
Because she sure didn't look pregnant.

And Angelina is making news of another kind....sorta.
Controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards will debut his new sculpture "Landmark of Breastfeeding" on September 11 at MainSite Contemporary Art, in Norman, Oklahoma.
You may remember Mr. Edwards from some of his sculptures...the disembodied head of Ted Williams, a life-sized statue of Britney Spears giving birth on her hands and knees on a bearskin rug, a bust of Senator Hillary Clinton, the Paris Hilton Autopsy sculpture and a 25 foot bust of Fidel Castro.
This time, the sculpture is of Angelina breastfeeding her twins.

Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox

Well it looks like all the Angelina Jolie / Megan Fox hype has finally gotten to...well Angelina and Megan.

Angelina recently told Life and Style magazine...
“Is she aiding in Africa or sitting in on U.N. conferences? Donating herself to something bigger than Hollywood? I’m not familiar with her work, is she an Oscar contender?”

Wow.

And Megan recently told Pop Tarts at Fox News that she was tired of the Angelina Jolie comparisons.
Though she seemed to lean more towards blaming the media.
"I think its cause she has tattoos really, I think a lack of creativity on the media's part,"
Megan has said in the past....
“I love Angelina Jolie. She’s someone I admire and look up to. She’s my favorite actress in Hollywood. I just love that she’s incredibly honest, and I feel that she’s not afraid to be herself. She tells you exactly what’s on her mind. Every time a relationship ends, I say, ‘If I could just be Angelina’s girlfriend, I would be so happy,’”

Angelina's dad, Jon Voight, took a more "old school" classy tact though.....
“Megan is herself and Angelina is herself. No one is comparable; everyone in the world is unique. That’s the great thing about it, but of course they’re two very beautiful women.”

Friends of Angelina say that her attitude towards Megan has more to do with Angelina turning 34 on June 4th this year than with Megan actually.
And I imagine the Tomb Raider reboot rumors aren't helping any either.
