Living in the contemporary world is impossible without admiration for somebody. Almost every one of us finds a person to admire or be an example for us. We try to learn and copy the strongest traits of his character and some unique features, which can be useful in our everyday life. I believe that there were and still are people, who can be wonderful examples to follow. As for me, a woman, who I can call my idol, is Angelina Jolie – is an American actress, filmmaker, and Goodwill Ambassador.

She was born on June 4th, 1975, in Los Angeles, in the family of actors. Her parents separated when she was little. Her mother had to take care of two children: Angelina and her brother James. She often watched movies with children and that awakened Angelina’s interest in acting.

But as a teenager Jolie felt like an outsider. She had non-standard appearance, weird habits and second-hand clothes. She was rebellious, rather thin, wore black clothes and dyed her hair red. I’ve read at a magazine that once she admitted that she did various drugs and led a reclusive life. She said she went through really hard times then and she is lucky to have survived them. Despite all this now she is considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her appearance is considered the most captivating and irreproachable.

She is a multi-talented person. She has a certain style of acting, which distinguishes her from the crowd of other actresses. Also Angelina performs most stunts herself. I’ve hear at a interview that after the Lara Croft movies, Angelina Jolie came back to home completely covered in bruises.

She is famous for her off-screen romances; Jolie has been married three times. The longest marriage was with an actor Brad Pitt. They started secretly dating while Pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. This characterizes her as frivolous person. I suppose it was influence of age. They have three adopted (two boys and one girl) and three biological (a girl and the twins (a girl and a boy) children. She supposes that there are no differences between the natural children and the adopted children. I fully share her values. This amazing mother, who are growing up her children as a worthy members of society. Jolie is an example to be emulated. She had a lot of challenges in her life already and Angelina has always acted invariably courageous and resolute. Most clearly it we can see when she had a cancer risk. Then media paid her too much attention and Jolie wasn't embarrassed to speak about this problems and how to address they.

After going public with her story, she wrote in the New York Times: "I am writing about it now because I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action."

It is no wonder that Angelina has practically no free time. After all, she isn't only thoughtful mother, but also is a virtuous person, an active participant in charity and social activity.

Jolie first became personally aware of worldwide humanitarian crises while filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia. She eventually turned to The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for more information on international trouble spots.

Since 2001, Jolie has been on field missions around the world and met with refugees and internally displaced persons in more than 20 countries to help survivors of conflict and natural disaster. Moreover she has the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, dedicated to eradicating extreme rural poverty, protecting natural resources and conserving wildlife.
