If you find Angelina Jolie more compelling than world hunger, drought and poverty, it's unlikely the actress would be a fan of yours. As a goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency, the first recipient of the UN's Citizen of the World Award -- and mother to a Cambodian son, she takes those things very seriously. But who, really, is more fascinating than Angelina Jolie?
The actress's bold personality and eccentric lifestyle are a riveting blend of extremes that challenge every notion of type. Jolie is edgy and unusual, but she is also open, honest and hardworking. She can be whimsical and worldly and wise, and while her sex appeal is legendary, her maternal energy will melt your heart.
Notwithstanding her own candid comments about her life and loves -- or Howard Stern's obsession with the actress's sexuality -- Jolie is unmoved by the petty judgment of others.
"I find it amazing," says the characteristically blunt and unapologetic actress. "I've traveled the world and I've been in situations with the UN that have to deal with such important issues, that are so dangerous and so intense, that have changed my life. And the fact that whether somebody picks up on whether I kissed a woman just says something about the press or society to me that I try not to think about...I have nothing to hide. I'm open and I'm not out to hurt anybody."
