The trajectory of Angelina Jolie’s life has rarely followed the sanitized, linear path often demanded of Hollywood icons. Her narrative is one defined by sharp turns, profound reinventions, and an unyielding commitment to her own truth. In recent years, as the dust of a high-profile legal battle begins to settle, a renewed focus has emerged regarding her personal identity—specifically her sexuality. Yet, to characterize this as a sudden “coming out” is to ignore the fearless transparency that defined the early years of her career. Long before she became a global symbol of domesticity as one half of the media-concocted “Brangelina,” Jolie was famously and unapologetically candid about her capacity to love both men and women.
