Being a Buddhist, is Angelina Jolie going to suffer the torments of Hell for all eternity when she dies, even after helping those poor children?

If she does not accept Jesus, that will be the case

Angelina Jolie's eternal destiny is not for us to decide. We are taught in scripture,however that "works" will not ensure or buy our salvation. Salvation is by Grace through faith in the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ as he hung on the cross and died. We can be cleansed of sin through Him only.
"Not by works lest any man should boast"
The work that she is doing, is commendable,but she and Brad or (who ever), is in need of God's saving Grace apart from good deeds.

God is the Creator of Angelina Jolie and the Judge of each human being. Let's leave that in His hands. God is love!

No effort of human good merits heaven though beneficial to others. Only the righteousness by faith in the Son of God merits heaven.
Also, human good has a lot of evil on the flipside that needs some serious redemption. Is it penance for guilt of stealing anothers husband?

No matter how many good works we do on earth, one sin wipes them all out. God will not be obligated to anyone. Either you do it His way through Jesus Christ, or you will be judged on your works. These works also include your motives behind them.
Angelina Jolie may be a "nice" person, but I'm quite sure that she sins daily, offending a Holy God. Until she turns to Him for salvation, she will be judged on her every thought, word and deed.

With regards to salvation the bible tells us that our"good works" are as filthy rags before the Lord". Salvation is a free gift of God, Christ paid the price for our salvation by His sacrifice at Calvary. What God wants is you and me to accept His Son as our Savior and to follow Him making Him Lord of our lives. Then come the good works, we do then as unto the Lord not to gain favor with God.

John 6:29
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

"For it is by grace we are saved, through faith, not by works that any man should boast".
There is only one way to the Father in heaven, through repenting of one's sins and faith in His son, Jesus Christ. Not by what anyone does.

Helping children has nothing to do with it.
