Synopsis
: A heart-wrenching TV movie about the real life super model, Gia Marie Carangi, who shot to fame in the 1970's. From age 17 when she worked in her father's dinner, through finding fame till her early death in 1986.

This is the story of a girl whose fame and fortune led to her eventual destruction

Gia was one of the earliest supermodels and probably the first female celebrity to die of AIDS.
During her rise to fame, Gia [Angelina Jolie] meets Linda [Elizabeth Mitchell] a makeup artist on her photo shoot

Gia subsequently achieved fame and it's attendant lifestyle.

Gia focuses mainly on the influences this lifestyle had on the young model and her attempts to take her life back






This film is particularly difficult to watch, because with our current knowledge of HIV, it is painfully obvious that the waste was easily avoidable

Excellent performances from Angelina Jolie and Elizabeth Mitchell

The Chemistry between the leads is so palpable, you really want it to work out for this two. The tenderness of the love between Gia and Linda is at odds with everything else in this poor young girl's life. Great love scenes.

Despite it's tragic premise, this is one great love story.

Tissues at the ready.
