Angelina Jolie: “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” 2001

Angelina Jolie rocks a black bikini like no other in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.” As Lara Croft, she’s on a relentless quest to uncover ancient secrets while looking effortlessly stunning. She didn’t just sit pretty for the role—she went full-on action hero, training in martial arts and weapons.

Angelina kicked off her career in the 1990s, but her role in “Girl, Interrupted” bagged her an Oscar in 1999. From there, it’s been a whirlwind of action-packed and dramatic roles, including “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “Maleficent,” and “Salt.” And when she’s not saving the world on-screen, she’s making a difference off-screen as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador since 2001.
