Jolie at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con
American actress Angelina Jolie made her screen debut in the comedy film Lookin' to Get Out (1982), acting alongside her father Jon Voight .[ 1] Eleven years later, she appeared in her next feature, the low-budget film Cyborg 2 (1993), a commercial failure.[ 2] She then starred as a teenage hacker in the science fiction thriller Hackers (1995), which went on to be a cult film despite performing poorly at the box-office.[ 3] [ 4] Jolie's career prospects improved with a supporting role in the made-for-television film George Wallace (1997), for which she received the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Television Film .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] She made her breakthrough the following year in HBO 's television film Gia (1998). For her performance in the title role of fashion model Gia Carangi , she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Film .[ 8]
Jolie was in Pushing Tin (1999), a critical and commercial failure; however, her next film, The Bone Collector (1999), emerged as a commercial success.[ 9] [ 10] In the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999), Jolie played a sociopathic mental patient, a role which won her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress .[ 11] [ 12] A role opposite Nicolas Cage in the heist film Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) proved to be her highest-grossing to that point.[ 13] Jolie achieved worldwide recognition as the eponymous archaeologist in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), an action film based on the Tomb Raider video game series .[ 14] [ 15] Despite negative reviews, the film had the biggest opening weekend for a film featuring an action heroine.[ 16] [ 17] This was followed by roles in two box-office failures—the erotic thriller Original Sin (2001) and the romantic comedy Life or Something Like It (2002).[ 18] Jolie reprised the role of Lara Croft in the sequel Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life (2003).
In 2004, Jolie lent her voice to the animated feature Shark Tale , followed by the role of an assassin in the commercially successful action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), opposite Brad Pitt .[ 19] She then portrayed Mariane Pearl in the drama A Mighty Heart (2007), and lent her voice to the animated film Kung Fu Panda (2008).[ 20] The action thriller Wanted (2008), which saw her in a supporting role, proved to be a commercial success.[ 21] Her next appearance was as Christine Collins in the drama Changeling (2008), which earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress nomination.[ 22] This was followed by lead roles in two of 2010's top-grossing thrillers—Salt and The Tourist .[ 23] In 2011, she directed the romantic drama In the Land of Blood and Honey , which depicted a love story set during the Bosnian War , and appeared in the animation sequel Kung Fu Panda 2 .[ 24] Jolie's biggest commercial success, as of 2014, came with the dark fantasy film Maleficent (2014), which grossed over $758 million worldwide, and starred her in the eponymous role.[ 25] [ 26] Her subsequent directorial ventures were the war dramas Unbroken (2014) and First They Killed My Father (2017).[ 27] [ 28]
