Angelina Jolie Voight, Hollywood film star, was born in Los Angeles, on June 4th, 1975 - her name meaning Pretty Little Angel. Her international efforts on behalf of children and refugees have made her the most public-minded superstar since Audrey Hepburn.
Her father, Jon, was already an established superstar, having topped the bill in such classics as Midnight Cowboy and Deliverance.

Angelina Jolie, U.N. envoy traveled to Turkey's border with Syria on Friday, June 17, to draw the World’s attention to the thousands of Syrian refugees who have fled their government's bloody crackdown.
Angelina, the Hollywood celebrity and goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UN HCR) arrived in the Turkish province of Hatay on a private jet to visit the refugee camps.
Turkish television showed Jolie disembarking from the plane in sunglasses at Hatay airport. She directly headed to a camp in the Turkish town of Altinozu, Southeast of Hatay, on the border with Syria.
Jolie spent two-and-a-half hours with the refugees, asking how they were in Arabic and then speaking with them through an interpreter, Turkey's NTV television reported. It said she took notes, showing particular interest in the women and children. She drank a cup of Turkish coffee.
Nearly 10,000 Syrians have sought refuge in camps in Turkey.
Protests first erupted in Syria in mid-March as part of the "Arab Spring" push toward democracy. Syrian President Bashar Assad responded by unleashing the military to crush the street demonstrations. Human rights activists say more than 1,400 Syrians have been killed and 10,000 detained.
Turkish authorities hoisted a 45-foot-long (15-meter) banner near the entrance of the refugee camp to welcome Jolie. It read: "Goodness Angel of the World, Welcome" in English and Turkish. Also a poster that was held by one fan read: "Angelina, kiss me for world peace."

Police kept fans away from the actress at Hatay's airport and cameras were removed from rooftops and high points.

Angelina was amazing. She was a Godgifted person sharing some of her fortune with the poor and people in need. She makes use of her fame to help refugees, women and children. She tries her best for the education of the children who are the future of the world.
