| | GLAAD: Gia: Supermodel of the World |
 | | The film about Gia, portrayed by recent Golden Globe winner Angelina Jolie, explores the model's troubled youth, her rise to super-stardom, her lesbian relationship, her constant need for love and attention, her battle with heroin and finally her death from AIDS in 1986. |
 | | Throughout the film, Gia's girlfriend Linda (Elizabeth Mitchell) portrays one of only a few people in her life who cares deeply for Gia, finally demanding that Gia choose between her and drugs. |
 | | While Gia certainly does not depict the healthiest of environments or lives, Gia's relationship with Linda is depicted as one of the only real, tangible redeeming parts of the supermodel's life. |
