Voight separated from Bertrand when Jolie was 1, remained in
California while the family lived on the East coast. ''He was
the perfect example of an artist who couldn't be married,'' she
says. ''He had the perfect family, but there's something for him
that's very scary about that.'' Jolie, is her middle name.
Ultimately, she decided to use it because, she says, ''I love my
father, but I'm not him''.
