From the halls of her high school to the red carpets of Hollywood, Angelina Jolie has always stood out for her unique beauty.
But while she might be one of Tinseltown’s highest paid actresses, newly released photos from the film siren’s younger years show Jolie mingling with a much less glamorous crowd.
Before she puckered her famous pout for a movie camera, she was just a fresh-faced girl in white smiling brightly for her eighth-grade graduation photos.
And long before the Academy-Award winner and globe-trotting humanitarian ever slipped on a Versace couture gown or flashed her infamous, much-memed leg at the 2012 Oscars, she preferred polka-dotted headbands and t-shirts
Jolie, 37, who’s just as well-known for her high-profile relationship to Brad Pitt as she is for her acting and directing credits, is even seen wearing a rare bit of color in one photo, donning a patterned blouse while attending a friend’s Bat Mitzvah celebration in Los Angeles when she was around 12 years old.
In another striking image, a 14-year-old Jolie looks bored to tears as she slumps over her desk at El Rodeo Elementary School in Los Angeles.
The star, who studied acting as a child before becoming a fashion model in her teens, has had a notoriously wild upbringing, stirring up controversy with her strange tattoos and steamy romances over the years.
But her rebellious past has done little to hinder her success.
Last week the mother of six was named Forbes’ fourth highest-paid actress, raking in $20 million between May 2011 and May 2012. She topped the elite list in both 2009 and 2011.
