the United Kingdom’s News of the World in 2007.
Jolie hit the big time in 2000, accepting the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her convincing portrayal of mental patient Lisa Rowe in the 1999 film, Girl, Interrupted . In the audience, she was seen manically tongue-kissing and caressing her older brother, James Haven. Ew.
“I’m so in love with my brother right now,” she said while thanking the academy. Even in Hollywood, this attracted attention. The pair, by the way, have denied having an incestuous relationship.

Jolie engaged in one more starter marriage, wedding actor and director Billy Bob Thornton in 2000. He was forty-four. She was twenty-four. The pair wore each other’s blood around their necks so they might remain close when filming in remote locations. Apparently, they were unaware that cellphones were a more sanitary option. I’ve seen them on TV, making out so fervently, it was enough to make one ill. They adopted Angie’s first child, a son named Maddox, in Cambodia, just months before divorcing in 2002.
That year, Jolie’s sometimes estranged father, Jon Voight, went to the celebrities’ favorite counseling center, Access Hollywood , to declare that his daughter had “serious emotional problems.” Angie dropped the name “Voight” legally from her moniker. She said, “My father and I don’t speak…I don’t believe that somebody’s family becomes their blood. Because my son’s adopted, families are earned.”
Her tattoos are the stuff of Hollywood legend and Middle-American ridicule. Space prohibits me from naming all her body illustrations, but they include: A lower case “h” inside her left wrist in honor of her brother, James Haven, and also for Timothy Hutton, whom she once dated. (After they broke up, she said it was only for James.) A quotation from Tennessee Williams on her left forearm. The global coordinates representing the birthplaces of her first four children on her left arm, covering an earlier “Bill Bob” tattoo. An Asian tiger on her back. The saying, “that which nourishes me also destroys me.” And an “M” on the palm of her hand for her late mother, Marcheline. She was so covered in tattoos, it was joked at the 2007 funeral of murdered “Realtor to the Stars” Linda Stein that the woman bullied Angie into concealing her ink while applying to snooty Manhattan co-op boards for apartments.
During the filming of 2005’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith , Angie met Brad. Evidently, the couple’s on-screen chemistry was matched by the fireworks off-screen. But Jolie denied that she engaged in a sexual relationship with Pitt until he’d split from Jennifer Aniston, telling Britain’s Grazia magazine that sleeping with another woman’s husband is “one of the worst things you can do.”
“He was married to his best friend who he loves and respects,” she said.
She told an interviewer, “To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.”
Conventional wisdom had it that Jennifer lost Brad partly because she did not want his children, which she denies. It did not help Brad’s image in the eyes of his “best friend” when pictures surfaced of Brad and Angie together in Africa with son Maddox while Brad was still married to Aniston. “The world was shocked and I was shocked,” she told Vanity Fair .
Pitt proceeded to pose with Jolie in a photo shoot he helped devise for W magazine, in which the pair is done up like a 1963 couple and posed with a passel of children at the dinner table. Brad said he wanted to explore the “unidentifiable malaise” that can haunt a seemingly happy couple. “You don’t know what’s wrong, because the marriage
