We find people like Jolie really fascinating because our Western culture tends to believe in “tender" femininity and “tough" masculinity and she has both which is something considered "extra-ordinary!"

In our Western culture, women are supposed to be more modest, understanding, sensitive, tender, nurturing, intuitive, emotional, passive, indecisive, impulsive, sentimental, and concerned with beauty. Men are supposed to be aggressive, tough, analytical, emotionally detached, ambitious, and focused on power and domination. Masculinity and femininity are seen as something that resides outside of our own selves and which can only be attained through hard work (dress, hair, body and stylishness). People have this notion of being successful or not successful at being masculine or feminine and spend a great deal of effort attaining it.

African cultures and all ancient cultures have a different take on what is masculine and what is feminine.
