She's considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.
But even Angelina Jolie took time to grow into the features that have inspired admiration and envy from corners of the globe.
Her pillow lips and deep set eyes impossible to miss, the actress, 37, is not so unlike other awkward school girls in one of several newly-unearthed photos from her past.

Before she started her movie career in music videos - most notably for the Rolling Stones and Meatloaf - Angie Voight, as she was then known, went through her own growing pains.
The Oscar-winner's teens proved to be a tumultuous time. At 14, she was reportedly permitted to move in into her mother Marcheline Bertrand's Los Angeles home with her older boyfriend, and later dropped out of acting classes at Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.

Photos of the star - minus her trademark tattoos - show her a bit taller, but with the same wide smile and mahogany hair as she joins her classmates and friends for photos.
The images are positively demure compared to what was to come in the following years as she rose to fame: an intimate kiss with her brother James Haven, a bisexual relationship with a Calvin Klein model Jenny Shimizu, and of course wearing a vial of her then-husband Billy Bob Thorton's blood around her neck on the red carpet.
