Angelina Jolie’s journey to fame

Angelina Jolie has her good looks to thank for helping her become amongst the most powerful stars in show business.

The daughter of actor Jon Voight and late actress Marcheline Bertrand was just 14 when she was spotted and signed by Finesse Model Management.

The ‘Changeling’ actress went on to be sought after in the United States and across Europe, mainly in Los Angeles, New York and London, reports the Sun.

Angelina further came into view in various music videos, such as those featuring Meatloaf and The Lemonheads.

The Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency was also rumoured to have been working in a funeral parlour from which she later dropped out once her acting career hit off.

The American celebrity recently became Hollywood's highest paid earning actress earning 10.2 million pounds per film.
