Girl, Interrupted

Jon Voight / Angelina Jolie: The Oscar-winning actor leapt to stardom in "Midnight Cowboy" and has worked steadily and affectingly for decades. Daughter Angelina Jolie (who's estranged from her dad and has dropped his last name) had a similar leap at a young age, in "Gia" and ... morethen in her Oscar-winning performance in "Girl, Interrupted." The superstar and global goodwill ambassador has used her family connections as the perfect jumping-off point.
