Angelina Jolie
Yes, we know. Angelina is polarizing, but we are not here to takes sides in the Jennifer Anniston, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt love triangle that occurred so long ago and covered the tabloid headlines. Besides, Brangelina isn’t even a thing anymore either.
So, judging on her acting merits, Jolie has done so many roles that warrant her a spot on this list that it was tough to narrow it down. Hell, we could almost make an entire article just for her (team: take note), but let’s start with one tied to our intelligence community, Salt.
In the film Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a seasoned intelligence officer that knows her way around weapons…and slimy Russian mobsters and spies. We won’t get into the details of the film, because it has some twists and is definitely worth a watch. Should it have won an award? No. Is it good on a day home from work, on an airplane or on a stormy night? Yup.
