It is a significant element: a rebellious attitude until the violence has always accompanied an instinct for defence of underdogs, that led her to become later the Un Goodwill Ambassador (and in November, see box above, even Hollywood will reward for that matter). One of the characteristics of his personality is the great self-denial, as evidenced by the passion with which he studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute, applying the strict method. But this admirable self-denial, in times when you reconcile with noble causes, has led to extreme choices: knows something her first husband, actor Johnny Lee Miller, who lost while she ran the tv movie on Gia Carangi, a model who died of Aids in the 1980s. It was a role that Angelina had wanted to play at all costs, identifying itself with that gorgeous woman unhappy and drug addict. When I finally managed to get there, Miller was saying ' what do you want? I'm alone, I'm dying, I'm gay and I will see you for weeks. " Today Angelina speaks with great affection of the first husband (it was delicious and I want a large fine but we got married too young "), but the marriage ended badly, having started with a ceremony in which she showed up in leather trousers and white t-shirts: above, we had written with blood, the groom's name. Something like this was years later, at the time of the second marriage to Billy Bob Thornton, but in that case the extreme and symbolic gesture was also shared by the spouse: for the whole period of their relationship the two led the neck a pendant with the blood of another. Angelina had also tattooed the name Billy Bob, but then remove it with the laser when the love ended. Is the period in which he lived a fiery gay history: on the set of Foxfire began to bind more closely to the model and actress Jenny Shimizu, which today says "I would have married, if I hadn't already had a husband. I fell in love when I saw her. "
Despite the success and Awards earned playing Gia Carangi, Angelina fell into another depression, from which he managed to pull himself out thanks to a secondary role in Girl, interrupted: it was supposed to be the film that consecrated the return on the screens of Winona Ryder, but she stole the show, and went on to win an Oscar for a supporting role.
The beginning of his career as a star was marked by an extreme gesture: the night of the awards ceremony on the lips kissed her brother James Haven, and then publicly declared that she loves him madly, by suggesting that their could be an incestuous relationship. Hollywood can be very puritanical, but commercial triumph erases any possible prudery, and the nonconformity has become a success more than respectability. When he began to collect a long series of extraordinary box-office takings, Angelina met Brad Pitt on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith: passion exploded immediately, but she continued to deny it above all to herself. Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina went into crisis: ' I never forgave my father for having betrayed my mother and now I am experiencing a relationship with a married man. " However the passion swept every Marlin and the two became a couple, much to the delight of media who began to chase wherever the "Brangelina".
