 Angelina Jolie turns 40: Then and now

Born a child of Hollywood, actress Angelina Jolie has always seemed extraordinarily comfortable in the spotlight. Her 40th birthday comes a a surprise only because she has been a public figure longer than most actors. Here, her father, actor Jon Voight, holds his newborn baby Angelina Jolie Voight (only four hours old) on June 4, 1975 in Los Angeles. She would drop her father's surname years later.Donaldson Collection/Getty Images

Jolie is one of the world's most photographed women, an actress who has made numerous "most beautiful" or "sexiest" lists. So it's no surprise that there are too many red carpet and press conference photos of Jolie to choose from.
