Porcelain Story

I don't know why, but this famous work by the famous Spanish sculptor Francisco Polope always reminds me of Angelina Jolie. The role of the actress was just her destiny. Judge for yourself. Her father was the famous American actor Jon Voight, and her mother - too, the actress, though not as famous, Marceline Bertrand. And Angelina Jolie Voight was born in Los Angeles, California, at the epicenter of the global film industry. So the options to become something else, in general, was not so much. And although the parents divorced when the girl was only a year old, they continued together engaged in its education, hoping to make a good daughter of an actress. And, admittedly, they have succeeded.

In 2000, Angelina Jolie (from surname Voight, she decided to give up in his youth) won the "Oscar" for best supporting actor in the film "Interrupted Life". By then she, a young 25-year-old, but already very popular Hollywood actress, had three Golden Globes and the prestigious Screen Actors Guild Award. But the awards seemed to be the least of her interests. Most of all, she was interested in creativity and beautiful, talented men.

Angelina Jolie starred in films that brought her not only fame, but also a lot of money. She became the third actress, after Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, receiving more than 20 million dollars per film. Her movies are beginning to become iconic. "Lara Croft - Tomb Raider", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "False Temptation", "Wanted", "Love Defects", "The Power of Fear", "Maleficent".

In May 2000, she married for the second time - to Billy Bob Thornton, with whom she met on the set of Michael Newell comedy "Pushing Tin. But this marriage, like the previous one (with Johnny Lee Miller) did not last long. And then in her life came the era of Brad Pitt. At first it was mad love with the birth of three wonderful children and the adoption of three more. Then there was a strange friendship that surprised her acquaintances and somewhat delighted the jealous. And now, after a divorce, they continue to maintain a relationship and even participate together in the upbringing of young children, constantly becoming the subject of various rumors and photo reports made by the ubiquitous paparazzi.

Angelina Jolie is a very courageous woman, not afraid to make public her story of a double mastectomy due to the threat of breast cancer. At the same time, she can be quite sentimental, and she is not shy to say that every time she watches her favourite cartoon about flying elephant Dumbo, she starts crying in the place where Dumbo tries to fly for the first time. She also spends a lot of time working as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, visiting Third World countries on humanitarian missions.

On 4 June 2020, she turned 45 years old. Just 45, and she has already accomplished so much in her bright, beautiful, talented and, thank God, continuing life. ''When you do something for others from your heart without expecting gratitude, someone writes it in the Book of Destinies and sends happiness you never even dreamed of.'' Angelina Jolie said that. And she knows what she's talking about...
