Angelina Jolie: Portrait of a Superstar



Angelina Jolie: Portrait of a Superstar [Paperback] by Rhona Mercer

Academy Award–winning actress, former fashion model and Hollywood party girl, and current Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, Angelina Jolie is constantly in the media spotlight. Unlike many Hollywood stars who do their best to avoid the press, her openness about her complicated and often outlandish life has endeared her to fans worldwide. Angelina Jolie's most famous screen roles are covered in this biography, from Gia to Lara Croft. Also explored is her reputation for living on the edge, and Angelina Jolie's refreshing honesty around tempestuous romantic relationships, bisexuality, wild partying, and breakdowns and thoughts of suicide. Finally, Angelina Jolie's recent roles as philanthropist, mother, and half of a Hollywood golden couple with Brad Pitt, are also discussed in this inspiring book for fans of this continually fascinating global superstar.

Rhona Mercer is an editor on celebrity weekly magazine New and has interviewed countless stars and figures in showbiz. She lives and works in London.

Loved this!!! Great pictures and great insight into a wonderful person's world. Being a fan I had heard most of the stories from Angelina Jolie interviews in the past, but there were some things that surprised me. It also offered a lot of information on her marriages and why they didn't work out.

I bought this book as my Christmas present to myself and I was not disappointed. I couldn't put the book down. Very well written and well-rounded. I feel like I know Angelina Jolie now as if I'd grown up with her. I respect and love her even more after reading this book. She literally transformed herself and morphed into the amazing woman she is now. This book is a must for all Angelina Jolie fans everywhere.
