Quotes:
Gia Carangi:
I could learn photography. That could be something to want. I could photograph children. I could have my own children. I would give them yellow roses. And if they got too loud, I would just put them some place quiet. Put them in the oven. And I would kiss them every day, and tell them you don't have to be anybody, because I would know that being somebody doesn't make you anybody anyway.
Wilhemina Cooper:
You will always be somebody to me.

Very fine reality-based film, supermodel "Gia.", 26 May 2002

In general I give high ratings to reality-based films, and I rate this one
highly. Back in the late 70s and early 80s I was busy helping raise 5
little
children and was not aware of who the supermodels were. "Gia" certainly
seems to have been one of the most curious. A web search shows that she
indeed was a beautiful young woman, even more beatuiful than Angelina
Jolie
who plays her in this film.
As the film depicts, she was attracted to a wide variety of people, male
and
female, but came to love Linda, who she met at her first photo shoot, so
she
is generally considered a lesbian. Her downfall was getting mixed up in
drugs, which led to her developing A.I.D.S. She was born in 1960 and
died
in 1986.
This was the role that jump-started Angelina Jolie's acting career.
Shortly
after she made Pushing Tin and Girl Interrupted. Here, in "Gia", she is
nothing short of believable, a truly remarkable acting job. Or, was she
really acting???
