Teenage girls dream the most of being famous and superstars, models, singers, but they don't actually know what goes on behind the curtains. Here comes a true story about once really famous and high class model Gia Carangi. In the time of the late 1970s it was pretty hard to get to the modelling business. Not every girl could be a model. Gia (Angelina Jolie) was a regular teenage girl, who was working in a small coffee shop as a waitress in her home town Philadelphia. She was spotted by one of hte agents who gave her a contact card. And that is when the model scouting became a job. Soon, she came to New York and she was perfect for the cover of the Wilhelmina Cooper's front page magazine. Gia was the girl everyone wanted to have, see, touch, spend the time with. She was overbooked. Her personality was big and loud and all over the place, which is exactly what made her so different in the world of the modelling at that time. She was raw and different, as well as her sexuality was. People loved her. The dangerous part was, when Gia started discovering how empty her life is without a person who would love her for her, not for the magazine cover she's on. Being able to do whatever she wants and having the means to do so brought Gia an early death at only 26 years old.
