Angelina Jolie open to political career? Here are other actors turned politicians

Hollywood Actress Angelina Jolie may join the ranks of celebrities turned politicians, as she revealed in an interview that she would be open to a career in politics if she thought it would make her more effective in her advocates.

Jolie has been a UN Ambassador since 2001 and has traveled all over the world to speak on human rights and other humanitarian causes. Recently, she wrote a piece in the Washington Post calling for an end to genocide in Darfur, and was given an honorary Dame title by her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to fight sexual violence.
