Hollywood star ANGELINA JOLIE would rather be remembered for her humanitarian work than her movie career. Jolie found fame as an actress but has used her celebrity to campaign for refugees and the world's poor through her work as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations. Yesterday (07Jun07) she was honoured for her philanthropic work by joining the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations - an exclusive group including Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Condoleeza Rice. And the star insists changing the world is more important to her than winning acting awards. Jolie says, "When I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No. I recently had a column published in a newspaper and at the end it didn't say I was an actress. It said that I was a UN Goodwill Ambassador - that's all. And I was really proud."

Before Angie was a UNHCR Goodwill ambassador she had no actual purpose in her life, the felft unhappy, "empty". Everything changed after Tombraider 1, after she adopted Maddox.

JOLIE RECALLS 'EMPTY' EARLY CAREER DAYS
Actress ANGELINA JOLIE was "unhappy" and "unhealthy" during the early days of her Hollywood career, before finding a purpose as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador. The Tomb Raider star, who famously self-harmed and had suicidal thoughts as a young woman, was so self-conscious she struggled to express herself in interviews. She says, "I entered this business before I had focus and purpose in my life. "I was very unhappy, very unhealthy, and when I sat down for an interview, I didn't know why. I felt like I didn't have anything to share. "It was a very empty time."
