"I like to collect knives," says Angelina Jolie, "but I also collect first edition books."Â At first glance, she might seem to be someone without any secrets, talking openly about her love life, sexual preferences, drug use, cutting, and tattoos--and why she kissed her brother on the lips in public. And yet mysteries remain: What was really going on in her brief, impulsive marriages to Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, and what is going on in her partnership with Brad Pitt? Whatâ€™s behind the oft-reported feud with her father, the Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight?Â What drove her to become a mother of six children in six years? Andâ€"perhaps most puzzling of allâ€"what about the other side of Angelina: How did this talented but troubled young actress, barely 35 years old, become a respected Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations as well as the "most powerful celebrity in the world" (unseating Oprah Winfrey) on Forbesâ€™ 2009 Celebrity 100 list?Â

The answers that Andrew Morton has uncovered are astonishing, taking us deep inside Angelinaâ€™s world to show us what shaped her as a child, as an actress, and as a woman struggling to overcome personal demons that have never before been revealed. In this spellbinding biography, Andrew Morton draws upon far-reaching original interviews and research, accompanied by exclusive private photographs, to show us the true story behind both the wild excesses of Angelinaâ€™s youth and her remarkable work with children and victims of poverty and disaster today.
