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.
