Ever since her role as Lara Croft in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”, Angelina Jolie has become one of the most iconic action stars in the film industry. To interpret the role, she had undergone extensive martial arts training and has since then continued to learn other fighting skills.

British stuntman and stunt coordinator Simon Crane has praised her lack of fear of heights as one major attributes that make her easy to work with when other actors might be afraid to thread.
