TOMB RAIDER STAR
FINDS TREASURE IN GERMANY

In the
film Tomb Raider Angelina Jolie plays a daredevil
archaeologist who travels the world in search
of precious relics. And it seemed like a case
of life imitating art in Munich on Wednesday,
as the actress finally got her hands on a special
memento that has been eluding her for months.
Because when Angelina arrived in Germany to present
her new Lara Croft film The Cradle Of Life, she
was presented with the "World Video Award 2003",
which she was supposed to collect in January.
Unfortunately
snowstorms made it impossible for her to travel
to the prizegiving at the time, so she has had
to wait until now to pick up the gong. The Oscar-winning
actress has been jetting around the world to promote
the film, but she says that was one of the attractions
of playing Lara Croft. "I knew that the series
would be about travelling, and I would get to
experience other cultures all around the world,"
she says.
It looks
set to be a good year for Angelina, as she has
also signed up to star opposite Colin Farrell
and Anthony Hopkins in a biopic of Alexander The
Great. She will play Olympias, the legendary Macedonian
conqueror's mother, in the Oliver Stone-directed
flick.
