Los Angeles, March 30 (IANS) Actress Angelina Jolie has been immortalised in a comic book that talks about her rise to fame and life with actor and partner Brad Pitt.
The book, which is a part of the “Female Force” comic series, is written by Brent Sprecher and has illustrations by Nuno Nobre.
It will talk about Jolie’s diverse range of movie roles, including her roles in “Gia” and “Girl, Interrupted”, and her charity work.
“I learned a great deal about her struggles and triumphs as an actress, mother and humanitarian. Often painted as an edgy, slightly dangerous movie star, what is often not revealed about Ms. Jolie is her tireless commitment to charity work and her dedication to the plight of refugees around the world as a Goodwill Ambassador with the United Nations,” aceshowbiz.com quoted Brent as saying.
The “Female Force” series was first published in 2008 to showcase strong and influential women who are shaping modern history and culture.
Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Margaret Thatcher, J.K. Rowling and Sarah Palin were among those who have been featured in previous issues.
