Angelina Jolie has spent decades proving that movie-star presence and serious acting don’t have to exist in separate careers. She can be glamorous, dangerous, vulnerable, strange, regal, or completely stripped down, and still feel unmistakably like herself.
Her breakthrough performances established her as more than a screen presence, while roles like Lara Croft, Evelyn Salt, and Maleficent turned her into one of the most recognizable actresses of her generation. At the same time, films like Girl, Interrupted showed the dramatic force that earned her an Academy Award.
Some of her most popular roles include:
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
Maleficent (Maleficent)
Lisa Rowe (Girl, Interrupted)
Jane Smith (Mr. & Mrs. Smith)
Evelyn Salt (Salt)
Fox (Wanted)
Master Tigress (Kung Fu Panda)
Thena (Eternals)
Christine Collins (Changeling)
Gia Carangi (Gia)
Mariane Pearl (A Mighty Heart)
Olympias (Alexander)
What makes Jolie’s career endure is that she never stayed comfortable for long. Action star, dramatic actress, fantasy villain, voice performer, director, humanitarian, she kept expanding what her public identity could be.
Angelina Jolie didn’t build her legacy by fitting one image of a Hollywood star. She built it by repeatedly outgrowing the image people had of her.
