Angelina Jolie Brief Biodata:

Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975, to Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. At age 11, Jolie began studying acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. Four years after she made her film debut opposite her father in Lookin' to Get Out.

She's beautiful, eccentric and highly intelligent. She questions what goes on around her and she's not afraid to be sexual. On top of all that, she's a great actress and humanitarian. Angelina Jolie is an exotic combination of beauty, talent and deadly charm. You want to kiss her even though she may pull out a knife on you at any time -- she has a fascination with them. She is open to anything and has proven, through her diverse film career and taste in men, that she's willing to try anything at least once.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt:

Becoming friends while working on the movie, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", Brad and Angelina denied having a romantic involvement while he was married to Jennifer Aniston. Their first public outing together was at the opening of the Muhammad Ali Center in Louisville, Kentucky on November 19, 2005.

They are setting an example of working together not only for the sake of their children and one another, but for those living in difficult situations and locales. However, they are not putting a priority on their time alone together and that is a red flag.

Angelina about her relationship with Brad(6/05/2007): 

"It's easier to talk when you're naked ... Get naked with me, and I'll talk! ... "Our family has grown very quickly, and we have a lot of responsibility together, and we acknowledge that we are lucky we turned out be for each other everything we'd hoped. We could have been very wrong, but every challenge we hit has brought us closer. It has been that kind of relationship."

Brad, about getting married, 9/06: 

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

Angelina Jolie and Tattoos:

Jolie's inventory of tattoos has become the subject of much media attention and has often been addressed by interviewers. She frequently adds or even changes existing tattoos and has said that all the tattoos she possesses have a special meaning. Jolie currently has 13 known tattoos, a few among them are:

Tennessee Williams quote "A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages" which she got together with her mother

The Arabic phrase "???????" (strength of will)

The Latin proverb "quod me nutrit me destruit" (what nourishes me also destroys me),

Buddhist Pali prayer written in the Khmer script for her son Maddox

She also has four sets of geographical coordinates on her left shoulder indicating the birthplaces of her children

Over time she covered or lasered several of her tattoos, some of them include:

"Billy Bob", the name of her former husband Billy Bob Thornton

Chinese character for death ( ?)

Window on her lower back(she explained that she removed the window, because, while she used to spend all of her time looking out through windows wishing to be outside, she now lives there all of the time)
