BIO

Angelina Jolie was born on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles, Calif. to actress Marcheline Bertrand and actor Jon Voight.

Despite being an Oscar-winning actress, her high-profile career is overshadowed by her personal life as a mother and a U.N. goodwill ambassador.

Following her three-year relationship to Billy Bob Thornton—during which she wore a vile of his blood around her neck—Jolie fell for Brad Pitt while filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. Jet setting around the globe, the hot Hollywood couple raise their three adoptive children—Maddox, Pax, and Zahara—and their biological daughter, Shiloh, born on May 27, 2006 in Africa.

In 2008, the actress announced that the "Brangelina" clan was expanding: she gave birth to twins-a boy named Knox Leon and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline-on July 12, 2008.

After seven years together, Pitt proposed to Jolie in 2012 with a diamond ring he helped design with jeweler Robert Procop. "It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy," Pitt's manager said in April when the couple confirmed their engagement.
