Funeral Director?
Did she really dream of becomming a funeral director? I looked in the history, but it wasn't vandalism, it looked like a valid edit. Growing up with actors as parents, you'd think she'd want to be an actress. And then she attended a theater school when she was 11--not exactly the best training to become a funeral director. Whhat is the source of this factoid?
If it's valid, we should insert why she wanted to be a funeral director. Otherwise, it sounds bogus (like it does now). — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:47, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Jake. I'm not a registered user, but I thought I would try to help you guys out on this topic. She mentions it in a July 5, 2001 Rolling Stone cover story, even showing her test booklet to the interviewer. The cover of the magazine showed Jolie lying in green grass with her abdominal cross tattoo mostly visible. So, yeah, is it true that she wanted to be a funeral director. Here's the link to the story in Rolling Stone's online archive: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/5938014 Hope that helps.
(Jake again) Thanks for letting me know that 23skidoo. I have to admit that I'm finding Wikipedia rather addicting and validating! There is something very powerful in being able to add to this incredible public resource and see what you've done instantly.
tattoo
I found a pic of the tattoo in question, i looked it up at babelfish and, so far as i can tell this is Japanese not Chinese. Actually the chariters were the same but there was a second chariter for chinese (traditional or simplified). If someone who reads chinese agrees that this is death in chinese as well, please change to Japanese Kanji/Chinese. Cavebear42 22:33, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Just a minor observation: The article states her new tattoo ("N11° 33' etc.) represents "the locations where she adopted" her children. Since Jolie hasn't commented on it, this is total speculation; the tattoo could also represent their birth locations for example. It think it should be rephrased. -- EnemyOfTheState 01:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)quotes
I have removed the quotes because 1. the quote given was not cited. 2. the better place for quotes would be wikiquote. 3. the link cited was likely the source of the quote and its copyright did not allow us to copy them. 4. wikipedia is not a collection of links. The best thing to do would be to find a public domain source of quotes, create a wikiquote article with them, and then come back and link the wikiquote article from here. If you could do that, I would love it because I, personally, love some of the things she says. Cavebear42 20:09, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I agree. The Chinese simplified and traditional character. It's pronounce si(third tone) in mandarin Chinese.
picture
maybe we can get a better picture here.
Page has been restored to a photo that is not copy vio (cburnett put it back to this photo and i reverted that photo to one that was legal.) if you click on that link at the bottom of the edit page, Project:Copyrights, you will see that It is our goal to be able to freely redistribute as much of Wikipedia's material as possible, so original images and sound files licensed under the GFDL or in the public domain are greatly preferred to copyrighted media files used under fair use. Also, i don't belive that fair use applys here. for these reasons (and that the pic was never properly cited) I ask that we quit changeing this pic until we find one of equal or greater freeness.

kudo's on new pic Cavebear42 17:41, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)The current picture is a bit too overtly sexual in my opinion. The point of it is clearly to make her look sexy, which is fine in some contexts of course but we are trying to present a serious encyclopaedia article about a serious actress. Maybe we could have that picture further down the page (alongside the FHM material), but the top one really ought to be something more sober I feel. Agentsoo 01:54, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:57, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Most beautiful woman?
Hey, whatever. I have seen maids in my country who are a million times prettier than this Angelina Jolie... thing.
On regards of the gay pride thing: Personally, I wouldn't feel any pride on talentless people like Angelina "pig liver lips" Jolie being gay.
Oh, by the way boys, I'm male and heterosexual. So, I'm not biased, just stating what her marketing team wont allow you to think.
- I know everyone has their own taste, and I personally find Angelina Jolie to be the most beautiful woman I have ever seen; but I think it is worth mentioning that, as the article says, she has been voted in the most beautiful women list of many magazines, and has been named 'First Perfect Woman' by Vogue Magazine. And I think it's fairly safe to say that, as far as taste goes, it doesn't get much better than Vogue. Yanington
Well, as an actor, Angelina's looks are an important part in her career. Sadly the entertainment industry is very superficial and appearances play a significant part in the work an actor recieves; it's just part of the trade. So I personally feel that her beauty (or lack of it, according to some) is a tolerable subject. In my opinion, Angelina is the most gorgeous woman I've ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on; but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so obviously not everyone is going to agree with me. There's no need to start an argument about it. However, I would like to ask those of you who don't think Miss Jolie is beautiful: what actresses do you find attractive? I'm not trying to fuel a possible spat, I'm just curious. Thanks in advance. 04:48, 6 April 2006 (UTC) Lola
Personally, I think it’s rather ridiculous to reference “beauty” in the first sentence of the article. The introduction should offer a non-controversial summary of the topic where no references are needed. Just take out the “great” and return to the phrase that was used a few days ago.

Adopted or Pregnant??
I heard she was pregnant with both kids. But others say no. I can't find any info on a google search either way. 212.0.138.94 00:18, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
In response to the question 'Why the hell is it here?'
Part of what a continually updated encyclopedia like Wikipedia does is we include current events. Several major media outlets including the New York Post are reporting the rumors that Angelina is pregnant. Although her publicists deny this - just as they deny the romance with Pitt - the fact major media reports this makes it notable and worth mentioning; if it had been a single source, or originating from a blog or whatever, I wouldn't have added it. But once it's in major newspapers it becomes notable. I certainly do not support the deletion of the tattoos section so I put that back (and what was with that edit summary "Can't you see I'm not proud of these tattoos"? Is the editor trying to claim to be Angelina Jolie? If so, I'm available! ;-) 23skidoo 1 July 2005 12:11 (UTC)
Dual citizenship
I often see that when people either become an American citizen or an American citizen becomes a citizen of another country that it is always stated that the person will retain both citizenships. This seems redundant to me as most of the time (from what I know) people will retain their former citizenship.SD6-Agent 17:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Cambodian people category
A couple of times now attempts have been made to list Jolie under a Cambodian People category. These categories should only be used based upon country of birth. Just because Pierce Brosnan is now an American citizen, he shouldn't be listed under American people, should he? If someone makes an article on Maddox, that's another story. Let's not get carried away. 23skidoo 21:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

this article is one of the most hilariously non-neutral things I've seen on here.
GO GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!Inspirational
I came on here, prepared to make an essay about how brilliant Angelina Jolie is. But, instead, I'll just simply say that anyone, who has the ability to help the world, live comfortably, change someone's life without knowing it , and still maintain a family is unbelievable. She is the only person in the world who has every inspired me, and I know that anyone who reads about her, but is willing to accept the slighty 'unorthodox' life she lives, will be inspired too. I think she is wonderful, and hope she continues her humanitarian work with the United Nations and helping other randomers for a long time. Yanington
