    When you think about the most glamorous A-Listers in Hollywood, Angelina Jolie is one of the first names that springs to mind.

    Starting out way back in the 90s, Angelina has had quite the career that spans well over 20 years. Model, film star, film maker, humanitarian - she's pretty much done it all. Angelina Jolie had a number of notable roles during her film career, from the lead in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, to starring alongside now-husband Brad Pitt in Mr & Mrs Smith (aka the film that brought Brangelina into our lives).

    As well as an impressive film career, she has a number of other impressive job titles under her belt. In 2001, she was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Centre, and was promoted to Special Envoy in 2012, working tirelessly on global displacement issues. Earlier this year, she was appointed a visiting professor at LSE's Centre for Women, Peace and Security.

    Of course, she and her husband Brad Pitt are one of Hollywood's most iconic couples, ever. Although they got married fairly recently in 2014, they were together for ten years before that and have six children. There's no doubt about it, Brad and Angelina are always giving us #relationshipgoals (although did you see who almost stopped Brangelina from happening?). Be sure to check out their most beautiful moments as one of the most loved-up celebrity items out there.
