O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00	Jolie to Become U.N. Ambassador The Associated Press Aug 21 2001 2:45PM GENEVA (AP) - Angelina Jolie will become the United Nations' latest celebrity ambassador at a ceremony next week, the U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday. Kris Janowski, spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said Jolie would be appointed a goodwill ambassador Monday during an event at the agency's Geneva headquarters. ``She is the kind of person who can get our message across to young people,'' Janowski told reporters. Jolie stars in the action film ``Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,'' which included several scenes shot in Cambodia at Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world and the best known of the scores of old Buddhist and Hindu temples around Cambodia. Last month, the 26-year-old actress visited Cambodia as a guest of the UNHCR, which is working with displaced people and returned refugees in the country. Jolie also has visited UNHCR work sites in Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast and Tanzania. Since 1954, when the late comedian Danny Kaye became the first goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Children's Fund, leading personalities in the arts, sports and public life have traveled around the world advertising the work of the United Nations. Current ambassadors include Muhammad Ali, Michael Douglas, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and French soccer star Zinedine Zidane.
