After her parents' separation in 1976, Jolie and her brother lived with their mother, who had abandoned her acting ambitions to focus on raising her children.[8] As a child, she often watched films with her mother and it was this, rather than her father's successful career, that inspired her interest in acting,[9] though at age five she had a bit part in Voight's Lookin' to Get Out (1982).[10] When Jolie was six years old, Bertrand and her live-in partner, filmmaker Bill Day, moved the family to Palisades, New York;[11] they returned to Los Angeles five years later.[8] Jolie then decided she wanted to act and enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, where she trained for two years and appeared in several stage productions.
