Angelina Jolie was born on 4th Junuary 1975 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Like her older brother by two years, director James Haven (Voight,) Jolie seemed destined for a career in the arts. At the age of 11, she began studying at the famed Lee Strasberg Theater Institute in NYC.

Her comeliness allowed her to segue back into show business, first as a professional model, and later, as an actress in music videos. In addition to appearing in five student films directed by her older brother, Jolie became a member of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Theatre Company, where she honed her craft alongside such veteran players as Holly Hunter, Ed Harris and Amy Madigan.

She made her return to the screen playing a heroic human/machine hybrid in the above-average direct-to-video sci-fi actioner, "Cyborg II: Glass Shadows" (1993), but the entry went virtually unnoticed by critics. Luckily, her flashy role as Kate (a.k.a. 'Acid Burn') in the cyber-thriller "Hackers" (1995) garnered her more attention and better notices.

She next starred in another espionage thriller, "The Tourist" (2010), playing a mysterious British woman who pulls an unwitting American (Johnny Depp) vacationing in Italy into a whirlwind of intrigue and danger. Though attractive to look at, "The Tourist" was blasted by most critics for its slow plot and lack of chemistry between the leads. Regardless, the film earned surprising Golden Globe nominations for both Jolie and Depp.

Kate Bosworth was born on 2nd January 1983 in Los Angeles to parents Hal and Patti Bosworth, Kate and family soon moved to San Francisco followed by a diversion to Connecticut before settling in Cohasset, MA in 1997.

As much as she enjoyed the experience and looked forward to more acting work, Bosworth wisely took time of to finish high school - as a member of the National Honor Society, no less - before pursuing her career full time.

As Anne Marie, a devout surfer living in Hawaii with her two best friends, Bosworth displayed exceptional commitment to the role by adding pounds of muscle and training relentlessly in preparation for the film. Although the movie's plot took a backseat to the exotic local and intense surfing footage, Bosworth nonetheless managed to shine through as a talent to watch.

Based on a true story, the film once again paired her with her friend and admirer Spacey and despite mixed reviews, managed to cash in at the box office. After a two-year absence from the screen, Bosworth resurfaced in the long-delayed Cowboy-Ninja hybrid "The Warrior's Way" (2010), co-starring Geoffrey Rush and martial arts action star Jang Dong Gun.

While she was accepted to Columbia University on a full scholarship, after a four-week stint at the school, Keys departed to devote herself fully to her music.In 1999, Clive Davis, the head of Arista Records, left the company to start J Records.

At the 2002 Grammy Awards, Keys took home awards for Song of the Year, Best R&B Song, Best R&B Album, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best New Artist. Keys fronted for fellow R&B sensation Maxwell in 2001. Her album "Diary" won her four Grammys in 2005.

Prince William and Kate Middleton looked the part in their cowboy shirts and hats for a rodeo in Calgary today.

It is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s final night in Canada before they head to Los Angeles tomorrow morning, and what a festive finale for their tour of the Great White North. Kate and William were once again matching in their rodeo-ready attire and were adorably affectionate during the show.



Earlier in the day, Kate wore a yellow Jenny Packham dress to greet a young fan when they touched down at the airport.

Prince William and Kate will switch gears from their Canadian adventure to spend a long weekend in California.

Before they head to the US West Coast, don’t miss all the Kate Middleton and Prince William Canada tour pictures all in one place!

Kate Middleton came from decidedly working-class stock. Kate's maternal grandmother, Dorothy Goldsmith, became the first member of the family to attempt to improve the family's social and economic status. Dorothy pushed her children to aim high and, as a result, Kate's mother became an airline hostess.

She attended exclusive boarding schools, including St. Andrew's Prep School, Down House, and Marlborough College. But her time in boarding school did not come without its conflicts. Kate left the exclusive Down House all-girls boarding school at the age of 13, due to bullying and taunts from other students there.

They gave Kate a two out of 10. Despite the initial setbacks, however, Kate did well in her studies, passing 11 GCSEs and three A-level exams.In 2001, Middleton became a student at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland—the first in her family to attend college. While in her first year at the university, Middleton was placed in the dormitory St.

Middleton was dating senior Rupert Finch, and William was busy dealing with the press and struggling with his feelings about his new school.But in 2002, Middleton appeared in an exclusive fashion-show fundraiser wearing a revealing dress. William was also present at the charity event, and became intrigued and interested in Kate in a new way.

Titanic actress Kate Winslet was born October 5, 1975 in Reading, England. She was born into an family of people in the theatre, and it seemed to Kate that it was the natural thing to do to go into it. Her first role ever was a the Virgin Mary, at age 5. From that point on, she had caught the acting bug.She attended Redroofs, a performing arts school in Maidenhead, until age 16.

Her first job was in a Sugar Puffs cereal commercial. After that, she appeared in a few television series. On one of them, Dark Season, she met Stephan Tredre, many years her senior, who became Kate's first real love interest. They were together for quite some time, and continued to be extremily close. Stephan passed away in December, of cancer, causing Kate to miss the Hollywood premier of Titanic.

During her childhood, and into her teen years, Kate's 5'6'' frame weighed as much as 185 pounds, which led to her to acquire the nickname ''Blubber'' in school. Her weight has since become a non-issue in my opinion, but one that still causes her to get press about. Personally, one of the reasons why I like Kate is that she looks like a normal person, not someone who looks like they have been stranded on a desert island for five months eating nothing but berries and moss.Anyway, Kate's first movie role was in Heavenly Creatures, the much acclaimed New Zealand film about the true story oftwo girls whose relationship becomes so close that it causes them to do a drastic thing to be together.

She plays one of those girls, Juliet Hulme. After Heavenly Creatures in 1994, Kate had a role in Disney's A Kid in King Arthurs Court, as Princess Sarah and her Oscar-nominated role a Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility, both movies released in 1995. She followed up with the part of Sue Bridehead in Jude and Ophelia in Kenneth Branagh's wonderous Hamlet.Currently, Kate has the starring role (she beats out Leonardo in my mind) in James Cameron's amazing, heart-wrenching, wonderful Titanic, as Rose Dewitt Bukater, the 17-year old wild beauty trapped in the heart of Philidelphia high society.
