look at her finest roles
By James Rocchi Special to MSN Movies
A quick question, and one with no right answer: When you think of Angelina Jolie, do you think of the tabloid sensation, the
twice-divorced ... more temptress, the serial adopter and the daughter estranged from her
father? Or do you think of the Oscar-winning work, the raw performances, the
dedicated actress willing to tackle tough roles? Of all our current leading
ladies, you could argue that Jolie is the one who most successfully (and
notoriously) succeeds as both a movie star and as an actress. Born into show
business as the daughter of Jon Voight, Jolie leapt from modeling and
appearances in music videos to a full-fledged acting career in the mid-'90s.
Jolie's tempestuous personal life, penchant for tattoos and sultry good looks
made her an instant celebrity; her work as an actress, though, soon made it
clear there was much more to Jolie than just a face that set
supermarket-checkout-lane magazine covers ablaze. Jolie earned her first Oscar
in 2000 (for her supporting role in "Girl, Interrupted" ), and her role in Clint Eastwood's
upcoming "Changeling" as a real-life Los Angeles mother
whose son disappeared is already garnering major Oscar buzz. With that film
hitting theaters, we present 10 of Jolie's best (or, in some cases, best-known)
roles on-screen. (Warner Bros. Pictures/Photofeast/Retna
