Angelina Jolie is ever present in the media, and no one can deny her power as a positive role model, especially for young and growing girls, whether Ms. Jolie is traveling the world and doing all she can to stand up for human rights or promoting female reproductive health by example. Recently, Ms. Jolie talked about her highly publicized life, revealing that there are still things the world doesn’t know about Angelina, including her brief stint as a high fashion model.
When she was 14 years old, Angelina was compelled to pursue fashion modeling by her mother, and Ms. Jolie reveals that the entire experience was upsetting, forever coloring her perception of the entire modeling industry. The memory stayed with Angelina throughout her life, and when she took on the starring role in Gia in 1997, Ms. Jolie felt uniquely qualified to relate to the tragic story of Gia Carangi, who passed away from A.I.D.S. at the young age of 26.“I tried modeling when I was 14 and failed miserably,” Ms. Jolie said, according to Vogue. “Like Gia, I was a bit of a dirty punk, but it was interesting to clean up and start feeling like a girl. I was told I had all these problems I needed to fix. I was told to lose weight, and I was thin already. They actually put me in a room in a bathing suit and measured every part of me. I felt terrible.”
It turns out that not all of Ms. Jolie’s childhood memories were negative experiences. Angelina also recollects her first adolescent crushes with the two most prominent heartthrobs bringing a smile to Jolie’s lips. While the wife of Brad Pitt admits to heavily crushing on both Star Trek‘s Spock and Anthony Perkins in Psycho, it was the Leonard Nimoy character that most enraptured Angelina in those early years. Ms. Jolie recalls that Spock was so repressed that she was often frustrated, watching Nimoy’s performances on Star Trek.
