Short description
Gia Carangi travels to New York City with dreams of becoming a fashion model. Within minutes of arriving, she meets Wilhelmina Cooper, a wise and high-powered agent who takes Gia under her wing. With Cooper's help and her own natural instincts, Gia quickly shoots to the top of the modeling world. When Cooper dies of lung cancer, however, Gia turns to drugs – and both she and her career begin to spiral out of control.
What's left behind the scenes
- Angelina Jolie repeatedly declined the role of Gia, stating that Gia's life was too similar to her own.
- An alternative version of the film has been released on video, retaining the explicit sex scenes between Gia and her lover Linda.
- At the age of seventeen, Gia worked behind the counter at her father's bistro.
- Gia Carangi was an American fashion model of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
- At the 33rd minute of the film, a photograph of the real Gia Carangi can be seen. The editor of Vogue magazine is reviewing photos of models in search of a new cover, offering ruthless commentary. When Gia's image appears, she says: 'Boring'.
- Towards the end of the film, when Gia is trying to buy drugs, the dealer calls her Angel.
- In the film, Gia and another model see a 1997 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, although the film is set in 1985.
- At the 46th minute, when Gia kicks her mother out of the apartment, as the mother approaches the elevator, she throws a green suitcase to the right, a coat and bags to the left, and two seconds later, the green suitcase is neatly positioned to the left, while the mother holds the bags and coat in her hands.
