15. Angelina Jolie

The embodiment of the character that propelled her into international fame, Angelina Jolie’s “Lara Croft” (Tomb Raider) depiction is far from the only thing this actress commands respect for. Her tireless efforts as a humanitarian and environmentalist have seen her recognized and named as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador at UNHCR headquarters in Geneva, and awarded Cambodian citizenship for her conservation work there by King Norodom Sihamoni, both in 2001. While in 2005, the Mr. and Mrs. Smith actress was awarded the Global Humanitarian Award by the United Nations Association of the USA for her work with refugees and UNHCR. Since filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia and becoming sensitive to the humanitarian crisis, Jolie’s contributions both financial and otherwise have been numerous, speaking engagements to raise awareness countless, and support continuous. She is on the Yéle Haiti Foundation board, has assisted musician Wyclef Jean with his Clean Streets project, and co-founded the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation with her husband, actor Brad Pitt, that focuses on environmental security in Cambodia.
