Jonathan Voight's claim to fame was the 1969 hit, "Midnight Cowboy," where he played Joe Buck. He was previously married to actress Lauri Peters in 1962, but they divorced in 1967 with no children. On December 12th, 1971, he married actress Marcheline Bertrand, but they too divorced, but not before having two children. First-born James Haven Voight is a budding director, born in 1973. Their daughter, Angelina Jolie Voight, was born in 1975, and is racking up awards and movies like her father. Jonathan attended Archbishop Stepinac High School in Yonkers, NY, and Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He has won several awards during his film career, including three Golden Globes, a CableACE award, British Film Academy Award, and a Theatre World Award to name a few. It was by half accident that Angie's father Jon was put in for the part of her father. Simon West(Director) was fliming in literly a few days, and he did not have someone for the part of Lara Croft's father. Someone thought of Angie's father to play Lara's father, and he said yes straight away.
