Jolie must seek help, says father

Angelina Jolie is suffering from serious mental problems, her father has revealed.

Film star Jon Voight told millions of TV viewers about his daughter's problems as he appealed to the 27-year-old actress to get help.

Voight, 63, wants the Tomb Raider star to seek psychiatric care for her depression, which has worsened since the break-up of her marriage to actor Billy Bob Thornton.

He said he had tried to help his daughter but that her manager had turned her against him.

The Oscar- winning actor spoke of his daughter's "hurt and anger" as a child which was in some way related to the break-up of his marriage when he had an affair.

Two years ago the actress admitted that she cut herself when she was depressed. On the US show Access Hollywood Voight said yesterday: "Once in New York when I tried to get her help, she said, 'You can't help me You can't help my pain.'

Voight, 64, added: "When the money train is running everybody wants to be on it and nobody wants to make adjustment and I'm angry about that.

"And I'm especially angry at her manager who has been with her and seen everything. I begged him to help me many times, and always he has turned her against me."

Voight also said that his daughter's brief marriage - her second and Thornton's fifth - was doomed from the start.
