Few celebrities have achieved the same levels of fame and volume of intriguing headlines as Angelina Jolie. Born to Hollywood stars Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand, Jolie was raised by her mother after the divorce of her parents in a home of modest means.

In the early ‘90s, she began her acting career. Although her father was a famous actor, her relationship with him was distant, which meant she had to forge her own path to success.
While Angelina Jolie is known for a string of box-office hits and some very high-profile relationships, her physical features—specifically, her voluminous lips and striking eyes—helped launch her to fame. Due to her heterochromia condition, which causes eye color variations, it can be difficult to determine Jolie’s true eye color. Though often described as blue, her eyes can appear to have shades of green, brown, or gold, depending on lighting and makeup.
When looking at photos of Jolie’s parents, it’s easy to see that she inherited her captivating eyes from both of them —Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand had the same bright blue eyes that helped make Jolie famous.

Since the beginning of her public career, Jolie has rimmed her gorgeous eyes with heavy black liner, often with a cat-eye shape (now often referred to as the ‘feline flick’).
