Turning 39 on June 4, Angelina Jolie is seeing out a remarkable decade in which she went from bad girl to Hollywood royalty.
Having divorced Billy Bob Thornton in 2002, Jolie was able to welcome in her thirties with two mega-hits – starring in blockbuster Mr and Mrs Smith, and striking up a relationship with her co-star, Brad Pitt.
The New York Times said that by 2006 “Jolie as an actress, personality, and sex symbol, claimed an almost matchless status in Hollywood popularity.”
Over the next decade or so, that popularity would only grow as Jolie’s work as a mother and humanitarian became more prominent.
To mark Jolie’s 39th birthday we have compiled her best pictures which would make for one incredible family photo album.
