Jon Voight and the late Marcheline Bertrand are the parents of this superstar actress. Albeit her parents don’t hold the same depth of stardom as their daughter holds, we could undoubtedly say that they were quite famous in their right time.
In spite of her parents being one of the most remarkable actors of their time, they have been trying their best to keep their lives out of hawk-eyed camera lenses. They have evaded the sheer reflection of the spotlight into their lives and raised their children to have a normal life without the stardom they had. Her parent’s different approach to leading a normal life has made Angelina Jolie more focused on humanitarian work.
Even though Angelina had a rocky relationship with her father, Jon Voight is now at his eight-two years old with a large career that expanded over six decades. Whereas her mother was more focused on humanitarian work rather than acting and claiming fame and recognition.
