Photos of Angelina Jolie at the tender age of 16, trying to make it as a model have emerged.The mother-of-six once posed provocatively for a photo shoot in just a bikini, using a sheer scarf as a prop - as a veil, as a headdress and as a screen in some instances - as she pouted those famous lips at the camera.Angelina, who has now gone on to become a two-time Oscar recipient, took part in the shoot in 1991 for celebrity photographer Sean McCall.In another setting, Angelina has had a costume change into a black onesie, with pearl embellished straps.Angelina, who is now married to Brad Pitt, wears her hair up and fairly minimal make-up but uses her hands in a number of poses - across her chest and placed seductively on her thighs.The series of shots certainly highlight Angelina’s ability to tell a story - going from Lolita to rebel and innocent teen.Using a chair as a prop into another shot, the teenage Angelina climbing on to the seat while wearing a black PVC all in one with black lace pedal pushers.While in another set of photos, Angelina wears a plunging purple leotard over a matching sheer scarf she's used as a wraparound.Angelina admits that she had troubled years as a teen - at just the age of 14, she was allowed to move her older boyfriend into the home that she shared with her mum Marcheline Bertrand.The Unbroken director has openly talked about suffering from bouts of depression, as well as dropping out of acting classes at Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.Angelina was also estranged from her father, Hollywood actor John Voight, she later returned to theatre studies and graduated from Beverly Hills High School."I had that problem early on when I couldn't feel a bond with another human being. Mostly it was all about trying to connect," she has said.It's not the first time that previously unseen photos of a young Angelina have emerged, last year photos from a 1994 shoot of Angelina emerged.

Superstar and human rights activist Angelina Jolie speaks against child marriage in the new issue of Ms. magazine, editors said Friday.Miss Jolie has taken a stand against the “child bride” practice, citing data that finds as many as one-third of girls in developing countries are forced to marry before age 18.These child marriages not only force girls to give up on their dreams and drop out of school, but endanger their very lives when they’re expected to become young mothers,” said Ms. magazine’s editors.The new article will also profile Miss Jolie’s partnership with Ethiopian filmmakers to raise awareness of child marriage in a 2014 film, “DIFRET.”The movie title has multiple meanings, including “courage.”The film recounts the horrifying 1996 story of a 14-year-old Ethiopian teen who spurned a man seeking to marry her; he retaliated by kidnapping and raping her. She escaped with the man’s gun and used it to kill him when he came for her again.The teen was arrested and charged with murder, which carried a death sentence for her.After a lengthy trial, a court decided she acted in self-defense and set the teen free.“DIFRET” has already won awards at the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival. Although the film was initially banned in Ethiopia, it has since been shown there as well as in theaters worldwide.Ms. describes itself as the first national magazine “to make feminist voices audible, feminist journalism tenable, and a feminist worldview available to the public.” Since its founding in 1971, Ms. has been associated with leading feminist icons including Eleanor Smeal and Gloria Steinem.

Angelina Jolie Linked To Jon Voight Gal Pal Suicide Shocker Tabloid Story

The National Enquirer will use any excuse to connect Angelina Jolie’s name to a shocking story, including a suicide of Jon Voight’s ‘gal pal’ decades ago. In fact, the tabloid tried to sell the story as Angelina Jolie’s ‘suicide shocker‘, when in fact they should have sold it as Jon Voight’s friends’ ‘suicide shocker’. The barest of connections exist between the suicide and Angelina Jolie, but that doesn’t matter – they need eyeballs, right? Anyway, Jon Voight and this mystery ‘gal pal’ named Julie ‘Cindy’ Jones were living together in 1991, and Cindy apparently killed herself with a bullet to her chest. This is sadly nothing new in Hollywood, where many a person has killed themselves over drugs, depression, or mental health issues.Jon Voight reportedly discovered the body and alerted the authorities, and now decades later, is speaking about the incident. He told the Enquirer, “She was a troubled soul and I did try to help her – just like dozens of other people who were suffering that I’ve tried to help. It’s a very sad thing that happened. She took her life – and I knew her. The girl tragically killed herself.” I’m not sure why Jon felt the need to reaffirm his involvement to the Enquirer, of all tabloids. But then again, Jon Voight never had the good sense to avoid tabloid interviews, which is one of the reasons he remained ostracized from his daughter for so long. Again, the only connection between Angelina Jolie and this Julie ‘Cindy’ Jones is Jon Voight – and the report goes out of its way to explain that Angelina might have known this woman and met her a few times, but that was it. Plus, now that there are new eyeballs on the investigation and the story, people are questioning what Cindy’s motivation was to kill herself. We might find out in the future, or we might not – but either way, Angelina Jolie’s got nothing to do with it.
