Gia is a 1998 television biopic about the life and death of model Gia Marie Carangi. The film stars Angelina Jolie in the title role, alongside Faye Dunaway, Mercedes Ruehl, and Elizabeth Mitchell, and was directed by Michael Cristofer. It was broadcast on HBO. Jolie and Dunaway both won Golden Globe awards for their roles.The film follows Gia as she moves to New York City to become a fashion model, immediately catching the attention of powerful agent Wilhelmina Cooper. Gia's attitude and beauty help her rise quickly to the forefront of the industry, but her persistent loneliness drives her to experiment with mood-altering drugs like cocaine. She becomes entangled in a passionate affair with Linda, a make-up artist. However, after a while, Linda begins to worry about Gia's drug use, and their relationship starts to fall apart. Failed attempts at reconciliation with Linda and with her mother drive Gia to begin abusing heroin. Although she is eventually able to break her drug habit after much effort, she has already contracted HIV by a needle containing infected blood and dies from complications from AIDS in 1986 at the age of 26. | |

Broken Ace/Broken Bird: Gia was a beautiful, talented and charismatic supermodel and something of a trailblazer for other models like herself to follow, namely of those who are brunette and not super-tall. In spite of this, she also was an incredibly lonely, damaged, and heartbroken young woman who even over her highly successful career just wanted someone to love and accept her unconditionally and turned to drugs and self-destructive behavior to cope, which ultimately led to tragedy. | |

Sleazy Photoshoot | |
| Gia / int_989d66e6 | comment |
Sleazy Photoshoot: Zig-zagged. During a photoshoot for a magazine, the photographer asks the models if any of them want to stay to make "art", by which he means, "keep the fence, ditch the clothes". Most of the models are repulsed and immediately bail. Gia, however, says that she will if Linda (the make-up artist for the shoot) will join her. Gia seems to be enjoying herself, and when Linda eventually disrobes and joins her, they're very clearly coming on to each other. | |

Take That! | |
| Gia / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: At one point, a group of big-wig fashion industry people are in a meeting being led by someone who is clearly based on Anna Wintour. Also while looking at photos of various models (which she declares them as "boring", "fat", or even "too dumb"), she then sees a picture of a blonde, smiling model which makes her yell out, "Oh, God! I am sick of seeing her face!" The model is never identified, but good candidates could be either Christie Brinkley or Cheryl Tiegs. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| Gia / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: And how! While Gia was a troubled girl to begin with, if she could have only avoided heroin, she might have escaped a lot of tragedy, not the least of which was her HIV infection (from a dirty needle) and subsequent death at 26. | |
