Years before her days of seven-figure Hollywood hits and philanthropic stature, Angelina Jolie was just another acting student, studying it up in the classroom just like the rest of us. A rare video of the then 25-year-old actress just hit the web, showing off her theater chops in an eerily dark and dramatic clip symbolic of her days pre-Brad and Oscar noms.
The clip, posted below, shows a young Angelina taking control of a dark mother-daughter scene with crazy intensity and power. The video may have its amateurish moments, but Angelina's talent is clear. It’s no wonder she went on the get an academy award win for “Girl, Interrupted” later that year.

Looking for more nostalgic Angelina moments? Below are the actress’s most daring roles before she made it to the top:
“Girl, Interrupted”
An obvious choice, Angelina plays a mental patient in an all-girls institution in the 60s, opposite Winona Ryder. Playing a rebellious “lifer” patient named Lisa, Angelina has no sense of compassion and a morbid sense of humor that chills the audience.
“Hackers”
This underrated film looks into the life of one teenage hacker on the run against U.S. Secret Service for writing a computer virus. Angelina plays the love interest named Kate, an outcast coder herself who makes her own rules.
“Gia”
A 1998 portrayal of the world’s first supermodel shows off Angelina's acting abilities as a woman in the spotlight struggling with drug, scandal, insecurity and love.
Watch all these movies and more for a dark and edgy look at the superstar in her early years.
