A source close to Angie in her youth said she was a rebellious youngster who was ‘anti-Beverly Hills’

‘We partied. We drank and smoked cigarettes and took acid,’ and old friend of Angie’s told DailyMail.com. ‘We roamed about wherever we could get on the bus’

The source, who provided the images and letters on condition anonymity, first met Angie when they both attended El Rodeo Middle School in Los Angeles, California.

The pair became close, and the source described Angie as ‘eccentric and beautiful’ with an interest in the ‘dark side.’

The source claimed that the young Angie was a wild child, drinking alcohol, taking acid and smoking weed in her early teens.

But Angie was always generous, they said, frequently lending friends money and giving to the homeless.

They said: ‘She was always a wonderful person and we had a wonderful friendship. People don’t realize that she was always charitable, wild but charitable. I hadn’t seen her one time for six months and she gave me money.

‘As she was better funded than us, Angie would always be generous in sharing with me and other friends. She could not walk by a homeless person without offering food or money and remarking that homelessness is awful.

‘That was when she was 14. It’s not a surprise that she has become so important in giving a voice to refugees around the globe.’

The source added that Angie was a rebellious youngster who was ‘anti-Beverly Hills.’

‘We partied. We drank and smoked cigarettes and took acid,’ they said. ‘We roamed about wherever we could get on the bus.

‘She tried to do the things that were wild, that were anti-Beverly Hills. We dressed in black and thought we were anarchists.

‘We didn’t want to drive fancy cars and we would stick up for people who were being bullied at school.’

In one letter she wrote that she had met ‘Mr Perfect.’ ‘I met Mr Perfect. I don’t know his name, he’s a great kisser, I’ll never see him again!’ she wrote. ‘When I get back we’ll have another one of those nights’

In a series of postcards sent in 1989, 14-year-old Angie wrote to her friend about men she was attracted to. ‘Nobody knows I like him but he said he wants to work with me,’ she wrote. ‘He’s perfect, tall, thin, black hair, lives in a studio!’

Angie wrote about her birthday and how she was looking forward to spend time with her friend. ‘Well another birthday. One for me…on for you. Are you 17 already? Where does the time go?’ she wrote

She discussed her dysfunctional relationship with her family, writing ‘I wish I was going somewhere. New York doesn’t count. I’d rather lay naked in a pit full of red ants than go visit my relatives’

In another post card to her friends in August 1989, she wrote about being on an airplane. ‘Hello I just got my period can you believe this. It’s just my luck,’ she wrote. ‘Ive been on this plane now for 3 hours and going mad!’

Angie pondered about the meaning of life in one letter from 1991, written when she was 16. ‘Nothing much ever changes!!,’ she wrote. ‘When you think about it nothing stays the same. Thank God!’

She wrote: ‘He’s a photographer I met today, nobody knows I like him but, he said he wants to work with me, I hope so because I want him.

‘He’s perfect, tall, thin, black hair, lives in a studio! But I think he’s gay! Oh well!’

In another letter, she wrote that she had met ‘Mr Perfect.’

‘I met Mr Perfect. I don’t know his name, he’s a great kisser, I’ll never see him again!’

In one letter, also written when she was 14, Angie complained of a hangover.

She wrote: ‘My plane flight was a bi**h, especially with a hangover!’

The source claimed that Angie’s mother Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away at the age of 56 of breast cancer, arranged for her daughter to take birth control at 15, to Angie’s annoyance.

‘She was annoyed when her mom gave her birth control pills and granted permission for Angie’s boyfriend to sleep in her room.

‘Angie rebelled and did the opposite by not sleeping with him at all and flushing the pills. She was always strong-willed and resilient from the time we met at the age of 13.’

The source was full of praise for Marcheline, who they described as ‘a cool mom.’

‘Her mom was really cool and would let us do what we wanted. She let us hang out and drink at their home because she preferred to know where we were.’

But the source said that Angie’s relationship with her famous actor dad Jon Voight, now 81, was very strained after he cheated on Marcheline.

The source claimed that Angie once even threw a computer Voight had given her out of her bedroom window.

‘At the time, Angie was very angry and disgusted by him. He brought a brand new computer for Angie and her brother James at a time when computers were expensive and scarce.

‘Right after he left Angie threw it out of her bedroom window. Marcheline didn’t even get mad because she understood Angie’s anger was on her behalf.’

In one letter, Angie complained about visiting family in New York. She wrote: ‘I’d rather lay naked in a pit full of red ants than go visit my relatives.’

She enjoyed hanging out at cemeteries and in one picture she poses in front of a graveyard in LA.

‘Angelina was kind of obsessed with suicide and darkness – she was interested in the darker side of life if you will,’ they said.

‘Well, I’m alive and still looking for the reason,’ she wrote.

The source also lifted the lid on Angie’s modeling career and claimed that the beauty was asked to lose weight.

‘She was so thin and so beautiful but she told me that her agency wanted her to lose five to ten pounds.It was crazy,’ the source said.

Angie went on to become an award-winning and world famous actress and a mother to six children. But the star never turned her back on her unconventional upbringing.
