Before Angelina Jolie became an Oscar-winning superstar, she delivered one of the most talked-about performances of the late '90s in HBO's Gia. This week, Jackie and Danielle revisit the groundbreaking 1998 biographical drama that introduced many viewers to the tragic story of model Gia Carangi.
Join the No More Late Fees podcast as they break down Gia's rise from rebellious Philadelphia teen to fashion industry icon, while exploring the complicated relationships, personal struggles, and emotional moments that shaped her story.
