Brief Description of Gia
Gia Carangi, one of America's first supermodels,(Angelina Jolie),lives a hard life in the tough mean streets of 1970s New York City while treading the catwalks of the dog eat dog fashion industry. Unfortunately, she sucumbs to the temptations which often plague this world and tragically dies young.
This rather gritty drama was adapted by director Michael Cristofer and novelist Jay McInerney from the biography THING OF BEAUTY by Stephen Fried. This is on of Jolie"s early film appearances along with GIRLS INTERRUPTED.
