In today's world of instant celebrity young wannabes can find fame by posting a few YouTube videos.But just two decades ago it still took years of hard work to make it into the public eye.And Angelina Jolie was no different, as a newly unearthed video reveals.Showing the actress in an acting class at the age of 25, she works with two other budding actors as she performs a scene.Working through a series of intense emotions the young actress shows her huge range.'I need to hurt you. I want to hurt you,' she states, with an evil smile playing on her lips, as tears begin to fall.With her naturally bee-stung lips, ruffled hair and make-up free skin, Angelina is an unpolished youthful version of the star we know today.While her acting seems somewhat rough around the edges at times, the talent that would make her a star is obviously there. But when the scene ends it is clear she has yet to develop the poise and ease in the spotlight that would help her become one of the world's biggest stars.Suddenly shy, she mutters her responses to her coach's questions and looks uncomfortable accepting praise.The coach tells Angelina: 'I thought your eyes were wonderful. I especially liked the movement in the scene for you. Something was really connected.'I felt for you a real sense of style. You didn't allow it to just keep going there, you changed it lots of times. You found the humour and you found that and you took the scene in different directions.'As her fellow actors wordily express their satisfaction with the rehearsal, Angelina brushes off the attention.'It felt pretty good, different and funny. It was interesting,' she eventually mumbles.
Slumped in her chair, her long limbs cast out in front of her, Angelina looks as if she is yet to fully feel at ease in her body.As the daughter of two actors, Angelina made her screen debut as a child in 1982's Lookin' To Get Out alongside her father Jon Voight.She then began studying acting while in her early teens but found it hard to pass auditions, often being told she was 'too dark'.After two years at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute Angelina dropped out to study embalming, planning to become a funeral director.She went back to acting after a period away, but found her first paid work as a model, appearing in a series of music videos, before landing a role in 1993's straight-to-video Cyborg 2. Six years later she won an Oscar for Girl, Interrupted, establishing herself as arguably the biggest star of her generation.At 40, mother-of-six Angelina is now a force for good, using her huge fame as an ambassador for the United Nations.

Angelina Jolie's health has been under scrutiny as a report originally from Enquirer claimed that the actress' frail frame is a sign of a serious problem that might lead her to death.In a report from Rumor Fix, the source said that the By The Sea director's health is "so grave husband Brad Pitt and their six children fear she will be dead within a few years. Angie is driving herself to an early grave. She looks like a walking corpse." The report further said that Angie's move to have a double mastectomy in 2013 and her recent operation to remove her ovaries may not give her a 100% assurance of being cancer-free and in the next few years, she will "may still face a cancer battle." Angie seems to be flirting with death. Friends worry that she could have as little as two years left to live," the source added. Angelina and Brad Pitt's kids have also noticed the drastic weight drop that she currently experienced, they even ask "asked Brad if Mommy is going to die." A source from OK! Magazine also recently spotted the A-lister who went shopping with kids Shiloh and Pax and had noticed her frail figure. "Angelina was thinner than she's ever been. She was skin and bones. I immediately thought that she must be in the midst of a health crisis," the eyewitness told the publication. Meanwhile, Gossip Cop released a report refuting Enquirer's earlier report. The publication said to have conducted their own research about the actress' rumored health condition and concluded that all of it was "just wrong" and the story is a mere concoction of 'sensationalized quotes from unreliable sources.' Further, no doctor has also released an official statement confirming Angelina Jolie's failing health.

She's just turned 40, is the mother of six children with husband Brad Pitt and has a booming career both in front of and behind the camera.But 20 years ago things were very different for Angelina Jolie, who had yet to marry either Brad or her two previous husbands and was just starting out in Hollywood.In new, never-before-seen photos, a young Angie is seen posing for some fun and flirty shots in Los Angeles taken as she geared up for the release of her breakthrough film Hackers.The unearthed images were shot by Los Angeles photographer Marcel Indik, as a young Angelina, daughter of Jon Voight, was busy with promo work for Hackers, which was released in 1995.The 20-year-old star is seen getting wild in the fun images, playing around with a short dark wig.Dressed in a shiny white trouser suit and going barefoot, the beautiful Hollywood star is instantly recognisable as she flirts with the camera. While one shot sees the actress flashing a big toothy smile, others show off the star's infamous wilder side as she messes up her wig and snarls for the camera.With smudged eye makeup and a vampy red lip colour, the rebellious actress is also seen lying upside down on a table and sticking out her tongue. The release of Hackers marked a big turning point for Angelina both professionally and personally.While the thriller failed to make a profit at the box office, Angelina was singled out for rave reviews and the film soon developed a cult following after its home release.
During filming the young actress started a relationship with her British co-star Jonny Lee Miller, with the two going on to marry in March 1996.Showing off that rebellious streak again, Angelina famously wore black rubber trousers and a white T-shirt for the wedding, upon which she had written Jonny's name in her blood. The couple separated just over a year later but have remained good friends, with the actress explaining that they were simply too young for marriage.Fast forward 20 years and Angelina is now married to Brad, with the Hollywood power couple sharing six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 11, Zahara, 10, Shiloh, nine and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Angelina recently opened up about her personal and professional successes during her 'amazing' year, which saw her mark her milestone 40th birthday on June 4. She gushed: 'It's been an amazing year. I married my love, my son [Maddox] became a teenager, and I got to bring ['Unbroken'] to the world.'I would be happy when [acting] is over. If I am lucky enough to have a career as a director, it would be a very nice transition. And then, when I can, Brad and I can work together.'

Angelina Jolie knows her Star Wars well.Like very well.So well that she even has a favorite character."I'm personally a Boba Fett fan," the Oscar winner says.Jolie revealed her admiration for the sci-fi bounty hunter when she interviewed her Unbroken star Domhnall Gleeson (he's in Episode VII) for the new issue of Interview magazine.When Gleeson remarked that Jolie could probably get a part in director J.J. Abrams' reboot of the iconic franchise if she really wanted one, she asked, "Can Boba Fett have a missus? Well, put in a good word for me, then."For the record, Gleeson admitted, "I was more an Indiana Jones kid than a Star Wars kid." During the twosome's chat, Gleeson turned the tables on Jolie and asked her a few questions."So were you an actor first then director?" Gleeson inquired."Yeah, well pretty much," Jolie said. "My mom always wanted me to be an actor. And I started going to theater and going on auditions young. I only realized about five years ago that I actually didn't want to be an actor." Not that she's ever really stopped acting. Not only did Jolie write and direct the upcoming By the Sea, but she and her hubby Brad Pitt star in the indie film together. It's the first time they've acted alongside each other since Mr. & Mrs. Smith.Jolie also insisted being a movie star was never important to her. "I'm a very private person," she said. "I don't go out much. I'm home with kids. I go to work. I don't really like being the focus of attention, which is why I like being behind the camera more."
