Lara Croft is a video game character, and the Amazonian heroine of the Tomb Raider series of video games and movies. In the movies, she is portrayed by actress Angelina Jolie.
Lara Croft, Duchess of Saint Bridget, is a British eccentric and wealthy aristocrat from the borough of Wimbledon, London. She is the daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft. Educated from the age of three by a private tutor, at the age of eleven she began at Wimbledon High School, and at sixteen moved to Gordonstoun. Her taste for adventure was first aroused upon reading an article on the archaeologist Professor Werner Von Croy in National Geographic, and she persuaded her father to allow her to accompany the archaeologist on his tour of Asia. She also became interested in mountain climbing during her time in Scotland.
At about the age of twenty, after completing her education at a Swiss finishing school she went on a skiing trip to the Himalaya. Their plane crashed en route to the destination; she was the only survivor. Her experience seemed to wake her up from the boring aristocratic life, and she chose to become a "tomb raider." In essence, she is for hire to recover lost artifacts, whether from tombs, or the clutches of selfish collectors. For this unorthadox career choice, she is disowned by upper-class British society. Typically, she is heavily armed with a variety of firearms.
Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies.Created by Toby Gard, the heroine of the video game series has spawned over six incarnations of the game, where the heroine must defeat evil gangsters, sharks, dinosaurs, and, at times, rats. Tomb Raider games have been made for the PC, Mac, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Saturn, Dreamcast, N-Gage, Pocket PC, Game Boy Advance, and Game Boy Color. The seventh game in the series Tomb Raider: Legend has been announced for the PS2. It is said the original name for Lara Croft was to be Laura Cruz. Because of the alike pronunciations, she is sometimes referred to as Laura.
Lara's evolution through the Tomb Raider series.She is also played by the actress Angelina Jolie in the movies Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. She has also been portrayed by models, including the actress Rhona Mitra and the current top model Jill De Jong. Despite some initial reservations, Jolie expressed interest in making a third Tomb Raider movie, but the second film's box office failure led to these plans being cancelled.
Some fans considered Lara's growing status as a sex symbol in the video game fandom through each progressive game sequel—with increasingly gratutitous artwork and advertisements—detrimental to the character, who gained more attention from her appearance than her tough-as-nails spirit and determination. In response to this, Lara has recently undergone a slight "redesign" for the sake of becoming more appealing to female gamers. Her chest size was reduced and her clothes were altered, although she is still notably unrealistic in proportion.
