Synopsis:

The True Story of Hollywood's Most Controversial New Star; Did she or didn't she have an affair with her brother? Ever since walking off with an Oscar for her stunning performance as a dark and troubled young woman in Girl, Interrupted, Angelina Jolie has emerged as one of Hollywood's leading stars of the post-millennium generation. Now, with the announcement that Jolie has been cast to play the first true video game star, Lara Croft, in the film version of Tomb Raider, Angelina is now ready to establish herself as a box-office threat as well as an actress to be reckoned with. However, the interest she's generated extends beyond the celluloid screen into her private life, because in true movie star fashion, her private life rivals any of her film roles for dramatic intensity. In this unique biography, Jolie's candid personal revelations about her dabbling in sadomasochism, her fetish with knives, and her open bisexuality will be detailed within a context of examining what her fascination with the dark side says about Angelina's complex personality.

In addition to discussing her career and life in the public eye, the book will take a look at Jolie's early years, including her life growing up as John Voight's daughter, her crush on Dr Spock, and how she once dreamed of becoming a funeral director.
