Angelina Jolie (born June 4, 1975 as Angelina Jolie Voight in Los Angeles, California) is an award-winning American actress. She is the daughter of John Voight,[1] who is also an actor and former actress/model Marcheline Bertrand. Her full name is Angelina Jolie Voight, but she decided to go by Angelina Jolie. She grew up in Los Angeles and attended the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. She began acting at about 12 years old, and since then has starred in many movies, including the Tomb Raider movies. She has also been in the movies Hackers, Gathering Evidence (U.S. title), and Gone in Sixty Seconds.

She said in May 2013 that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy after learning she had an 87% risk of getting breast cancer.
