While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when thinking about her future. Although Jolie has studied her craft(技艺)since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral(殡葬)director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort when people could reach out to each other. ”
Tradition(传统)is always attractive and interesting to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic(阁楼)that had old things in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and have a look.
