Angelina Jolie

ANGELINA JOLIE a story of success

Angelina Jolie is is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and has been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress an Oscar-winning actress who became popular after playing the title role in the "Lara Croft" blockbuster movies, as well as Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), Wanted(2008), Salt (2010) and Maleficent (2014). Off-screen, Jolie has become prominently involved in international charity projects, especially those involving refugees. She often appears on many "most beautiful women" lists, and she has a personal life that is avidly covered by the tabloid press.

she has been such an inspiration to others and me. Not only is Angelina Jolie a prominent actress but with the money that she gains and the things that she does, she also helps children and adult .Angelina has said that she first become aware of the extent of the problems people around the world face when she filmed Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in Cambodia in 2001. She later said that seeing and meeting the people of that war-ravaged country 'opened my eyes.' The suffering of the people in Cambodia caused Ange to contact the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to find out how she could help. She then went on her first overseas mission - an 18-day trip to Sierra Leone and Tanzania.

She followed that up with a two-week trip back to Cambodia and then met with Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Not long after she was named a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and her humanitarian work really got going.

Angelina is beyond admirable in her courage for visiting highly volatile areas, during her time as a Goodwill Ambassador she's visited Darfur in Sudan during the verocious conflict there, Chad during its civil war, Iraq and Libya during the Libyan revolution

Angelina has also set up and financed many charity organisations. In 2003, she founded the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation (after her first son, Maddox, who she adopted from Cambodia) which is dedicated to community development and environmental conservation in Cambodia.

Angelina Jolie understands that giving is the ultimate key to a fulfilling life. Although she’s gone through her ups and downs, Jolie has found true happiness in helping the world as she states “I just started to see the world as it really is and it completely shocked me and changed my opinion on everything... on life and my values and certainly my own sense of self.” She is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissions for Refugees (UNHCR), and as a result has been on many trips to 3rd world countries to help causes and aid the poor. The part-actress, part-humanitarian, being an example to everyone around the world that helping people is what makes life worthwhile, Angelina Jolie knows that pursuing your goals is not enough, you must also give back if you want to be truly successful.

Omar El-sherif

Omar El-sherif a story of success

Omar Sharif was born in Alexandria, Egypt, on April 10, 1932. He was able to attend

English school, eventually learning several languages Arabic, English, Greek, French, Spanish and Italian fluently, and developing a love for theater, and worked in his father’s business for a time before focusing on his passion, making his Egyptian film debut in 1953 and becoming a top star. He wed married to Faten Hamama in 1955

Sharif eventually attracted international attention for his prominent part in director David Lean’s 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia, starring Peter O’Toole.

Sharif continued his working relationship with Lean, starring in the filmmaker’s subsequent classic, Doctor Zhivago (1965), which focused on the Russian Revolution.

In November 2005, Sharif was awarded the inaugural Sergei Eisenstein Medal by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in recognition of his significant contributions to world film and cultural diversity. The medal, which is awarded very infrequently, is named after Russian director Sergei Eisenstein.

Sharif began his acting career in his native Egypt with a role in Shaytan Al-Sahra . In the same year he appeared in Sira` Fi al-Wadi . He quickly rose to stardom, appearing in Egyptian productions, including La Anam , Sayyidat al-Qasr and the Nahr el hub.
