Angelina Jolie's Evolution: Model to Actress to Humanitarian (PHOTOS)

Recently named an honorary dame by Queen Elizabeth II, Angelina Jolie is a timeless beauty with a heart of gold. 

The Hollywood starlet has taken time away from her craft to cultivate a better world for mankind.  Last week, Jolie met with top diplomats during a four-day confrence that examined war-time sexual assault.  According to The Washington Post, Jolie said, "Young lives are being ruined by sexual violence in Syria, South Sudan and Central African Republic, as we gather here, as we speak."  She continued, "For people in those countries, the actions we have promised cannot come soon enough. For them, shattering impunity must begin now." 

Jolie has made a tremendous effort to use her fame for good and has made an impact in spreading the word of global, altruistic causes.  View the slide-show to see Jolie don many hats throughout the years.
