Gia

Gia (1998) is the biographical drama you can watch online on iFILM, with Angelina Jolie as Gia Carangi, the Philadelphia kid who became fashion's first true supermodel.

One day she's washing dishes in a diner; the next, her face is on covers across two continents. The shoots pile up, the money pours in, and none of it fills the hole. Her bond with makeup artist Linda (Elizabeth Mitchell) gives her something real to hold onto, but heroin keeps pulling her under. Faye Dunaway plays the agent who spots the gold first and the breaking woman far too late.

Director Michael Cristofer tracks a short, scorching life that ended at 26, with Gia among the first well-known women to die of AIDS. This is the part that put Jolie on the map, raw and stripped of vanity. Hard to watch, and unflinching about how beauty can eat a person alive. Stream Gia (1998) online on iFILM.
