Angelina Jolie: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) - Hardcover

Did she or didn't she have a hot romance with her brother? The tattoo-sporting, bee-stung-lipped Angelina Jolie likes it with both men and women. She and her new husband, Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton,'t get enough of it. And she especially likes it if daggers are involved. We're talkin' sex, of course, and the actress revels in revealing the most intimate details of her rough 'n' tumble life in freewheeling interviews. No wonder she's being touted as the Web's most wanted, fronting Premiere Magazine's Top Ten list of the Internet's biggest stars for her cool roles and edgy talent. Her popularity recently reached new heights after she won a Best Suppor-ting Actress Oscar for her turn as a troubled young woman in Girl, Interrupted. "I'm so in love with my brother right now," she said in her acceptance speech, setting off frenzied media speculation about a possible incestuous affair. Jolie will appear in a number of upcoming films, including Dancing in the Dark, Original Sin, and Beyond Borders. The buzz on her next movie, Tomb Raider (based on the enormously popular computer game), is predicting a 2001 blockbuster and an electrifying performance by Jolie as cybersex symbol Lara Croft. Author Kathleen Tracy takes a look at Jolie's early years, including her childhood growing up as Jon Voight's daughter, her crush on Dr. Spock, and how she once dreamed of becoming a funeral director. The book traces Jolie's meteoric rise to fame fueled by the actress's eccentric behaviour and a reputation for being bold and slightly nuts that fans find endearing.
