Gia
1998
A young Angelina Jolie is mesmerizing in her breakout role as supermodel Gia Carangi, a cover girl who lived fast and died at age 26 from the ravages of AIDS, in this fact-based HBO biopic that won an Emmy and two Golden Globes. The film follows Gia from busing tables at her father's diner to the glamorous world of high-fashion photography -- and finally to her downward spiral into drugs and toxic relationships. Faye Dunaway co-stars.

Angelina Jolie but plays the role of a flawed yet realistic girl well. Elizabeth Mitchell is great too, I didn't notice her the first time since I hadn't seen Lost. Jolie seemed older than 18 at the beginning, but it wasn't a critical error
