Gia
Text: Adriana Giuffrida
‘Everyone saw the beauty, no one saw the pain.’ This is the tag-line for 1998 HBO film GIA, based on the life of America’s first Supermodel, Gia Marie Carangi, starring Angelina Jolie.
One you get past some of the cringe-worthy moments that a tele movie does provide, and however you may feel about Angelina, this movie tells an incredibly tragic story of a beautiful woman whose life was sadly cut short at 26 years old. A box of tissues is quite necessary. Here too is a great blog dedicated to the work of Gia Marie Carangi.
