Angelina Jolie - The Biography: The Story of the World's Most Seductive Star Kindle Edition

by Rhona Mercer (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 49 ratings
See all formats and editions
Angelina Jolie was born June 4, 1975 and is an Academy Award-winning actress, a former fashion model, and a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. Often cited as one of the world's most beautiful women she is both adored and envied; either way she is constantly in the media spotlight no less for her personal life then her on-screen performances. Winner of three Golden Globes, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Angelina has come along way since her first low budget production Cyborg 2 in 1993. She went on to appear in the critically acclaimed biopics George Wallace and Gia and won an Oscar for her performance in the 1999 drama Girl, Interrupted. But Angelina's most famous role to date unquestionably was her portrait of videogame heroine Lara Croft with which she established herself as one of the best known and highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Angelina has been married twice - to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton - and she currently lives with fellow actor Brad Pitt, a relationship that sparked a worldwide media frenzy. Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children, Maddox, Pax and Zahara, and three biological children, Shiloh and twins Vivienne and Knox. With the recent release of The Changeling and the imminent release of Wanted plus two more films confirmed for 2009 Angelina's successful career shows no signs of wavering, although with reports that her relationship with Brad is on the rocks and inconsistencies concerning their intention to adopt more children there is a lot below the cool exterior of this global superstar.

I bought this book as my Christmas present to myself and I was not disappointed. I couldn't put the book down. Very well written and well-rounded. I feel like I know Angelina now as if I'd grown up with her. I respect and love her even more after reading this book. She literally transformed herself and morphed into the amazing woman she is now. This book is a must for all Angelina Jolie fans everywhere.

Loved this!!! Great pictures and great insight into a wonderful person's world. Being a fan I had heard most of the stories from Angelina interviews in the past, but there were some things that surprised me. It also offered a lot of information on her marriages and why they didn't work out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very anecdotal but interesting
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2011

I've read only a few biographies and most are of historical figures like George Patton. This is probably only the third I've read of a celebrity. I don't know if other celebrity biographies are like this but I am use to a lot more source notations. Much of the information seems to be anecdotal from unknown sources. Even the the bibliography at the end of the book only references a small fraction of the sources I usually see listed in other biographies. I was very surprised that most of the direct quotes were not cited with only a few referencing certain interviews. Overall, it is a decent read. I would recommend reading it if you are a fan of Jolie since it is a short book. I've always found her to be a fascinating person and it was interesting to see her struggle with her self esteem and how she was able to overcome her insecurity issues by helping others and become a very compassionate person that does a lot of good for the unfortunate people in the world. It does have some interesting information such as her live in boyfriend when she was only sixteen, her passion for knives, and seeing more details on her personal relationships. One more comment I will make is that the author does not transition the time lines very well. I like the way the author put the chapters as the major milestones in her life such as her marriages and major movies, but within each chapter, it becomes confusing because she does not notate many dates. She will mention months sometimes but not years and she will jump around quite a bit. I believe to make certain events more compelling. So if you are a fan of Angelina, it will be worth reading but everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt since most of the information is not cited.

This book was nothing but news clips put together. Obviously, Jolie would not give an interview. So the writer relied on the easy way out: basic research on what's been written before in newspapers, tabloids etc.

If you are looking for the book that inspires you, this is a great choice. You get to know Angelina not as a heroine of a massive gossip circus but as an amazing personality who can inspire and who uses her beauty and success to help others.
