"Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out," (Frank A. Clark). Angelina Jolie is a very amazing actor and she does a lot of charity. Her father was an actor and she picked up the desire from her father to act. She started acting classes and learning all about acting. When Angelina was on a tour she realized that there are so many people in need, so acting helped because then she had money which allowed her to travel the world. That later led to buying food for starving people. Soon, she put other people's needs before her own needs. She still works in Hollywood and acts in many movies. She is married to Brad Pitt and has six kids. Three are adopted and Angelina gave birth to the other three kids. She has won so many awards for her acting. Most of her awards were given to her in 2000 such as The Golden Globe Award. Because of her acting talent and generosity she should be considered a hero.

Angelina Jolie is a hero to many because she is such an inspiring actor. She is one of Hollywood's greatest performers. "In the 1990s, Angelina Jolie became a popular actress. She gave a star-making performance in the 1998 television film Gia based on the short, tragic life of model Gia Marie Carangi, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress," (Bio.com). This shows why Angelina Jolie has had so many inspiring roles. This proves that she is an amazing actress that can really get into the personality of the character. Also, this helps her win many awards. Most people believe that she acts best in dramatic roles. "Another great dramatic role in Girl, Interrupted (1999) brought Jolie her first Academy Award (for best supporting actress). She has continued to take on a variety of interesting roles.," (Bio.com). This shows that she still has the desire to act. This proves that she won a very important award. Because she started studying drama and has been practicing acting since a young age, she knows a lot about her field and she is very well respected.

Angelina Jolie is an inspiration to many because of her generosity. She not only cares about herself, she cares about others as well. "In 2005, Jolie received the Global Humanitarian Action Award from the United Nations Association of the USA for her activism on behalf of refugee rights," (AP History). This shows she is a very giving person. This proves she won an award for helping people with their needs. She has won awards for taking care of people and supplying them with their needs such as water, food, clothing, school supplies, money, and much more. "She was invited to be a goodwill ambassador to the United Nations and has pretty much traveled consistently since then, doing what she could to raise awareness of problems around the world," (Gale). This shows she travels the world for people in need. This proves that she continues to travel the world to help out with problems. Angelina Jolie is a very devoted humanitarian, one award that she earned was called The Global Humanitarian Action Award. This award was from the United Nations Association of the USA. To this day, Angelina still does travel the world to help give people attention and support their needs.

Angelina Jolie is considered my hero because she is a person that is pretty, smart, and helps people with their needs before her own needs. She's a very inspiring person to me. I know of Angelina Jolie because of her acting roles. Another thing that is a very good thing is that she is a smart woman. This was seen when she started studying about drama and the background of acting at the age of twelve. I love actors that aren't just those people with mean personalities; it's great to know of an actor that has done so much work to help with the world. She has achieved so much in her life so far; I can't wait to see what she accomplishes next!
