Angelina Jolie, star of the Oscar-bound Maria Callas biopic Maria, has mixed thoughts about biopics. "That gets the most insane question award," Jolie recently told The Times in response to a question about what a Pablo Larraín biopic of her own life would look like.

Angelina Jolie has played many a real-life figure throughout her Oscar-winning career, from supermodel Gia Carangi (“Gia”) to journalist Mariane Pearl (“A Mighty Pearl”) and now opera singer Maria Callas (“Maria”).

Angelina Jolie has said she hopes no one ever makes a biopic about her life. The actor has herself starred in several biopics. She played supermodel Gia Carangi in 1998’s Gia and journalist Mariane Pearl in 2007’s A Mighty Heart, and plays opera singer Maria Callas in the forthcoming film Maria.
