Angelina Jolie turns the ripe old age of 40 today and right now she’s a mother of six, UN ambassador, actress, director, activist and a woman who wears suits to meet the Queen. Long-gone is her old image of a slightly tweaked-out, intimidatingly intelligent sex bomb/goth who was just as likely to tear a man in two as she would be ogled by him.
To celebrate the Angelina we grew up with, the Angelina we most wanted to either be or sort-of be friends with (regardless of the fact she played a sociopath with such uncanny prowess), here’s her in that Oscar-winning performance in Girl, Interrupted that catapulted her to household-name-level fame – and notoriety, as she basically pashed her brother after winning the award.
Happy birthday Angelina Jolie, the world would have been a lot less fun without you and now you’re doing more for women’s rights than, well, than some entire countries!
