Angelina Jolie appeared in the press from an early age since her father was the famous Jon Voight. At the age of 7 Angelina had a small part in Lookin’ to Get Out, a movie co-written by and starring her father, and in 1986 and 1988 she attended the Academy Awards as a teenager with him. However, when Jolie started her acting career, she went with “Voight” as her stage name to establish her own identity as an actress. Jolie has never shyed away from controversy and integrated her teenage “wild girl” image into her public persona in the first years of her career.

During her acceptance speech at the 2000 Academy Awards, Angelina Jolie declared “I’m so in love with my brother right now” which, combined with her affectionate behavior towards him that night, sparked rumors in the tabloid media of an incestuous relationship with her brother James Haven. Of course, she has denied those rumors and said while appearing on Inside the Actors Studio “the world is a lot sicker than I thought”. Jolie and Haven later explained in interviews that after their parents’ divorce, they relied on one another and because of that they hold on to each other as a means of emotional support. Angelina may be wild, but she’s not crazy!
