I watched that film about Gia the other day. It left me feeling sad and kind of mournful (and not just because I think Angelina Jolie is an overrated actress who totally overacts everything)
Gia is considered by many to be the first supermodel. She was also one of the first famous women to die of AIDS.
I feel mesmerized by her. She was incredibly beautiful and feminine to look at but in reality she acted like a tomboy who couldn't care less about her looks. She walked around naked, threw tantrums, dressed like a dag and flaunted her lesbian relationship even though it wasn't the done thing back then.
She was young, wild and clueless. And though this must have been refreshing coming from an industry that is known for producing vapid and contrived individuals perhaps it wasn't practical enough.
Gia's addiction to heroin cost her her career, her relationships and ultimately her life.
She died at 26 from AIDS.
