Angelina Jolie is an American actress, filmmaker, and humanitarian. She has received an Academy Award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and has been cited as Hollywood's highest-paid actress.
In this interview Angelina talks with our TV show host - Margie Rey about working with her husband at the time- Brad Pitt , making movies together , and about her secret to their relationship !
How many other directors (let alone female ones who happen also to be A-list stars) would find themselves in the position in the first place of making a film like First They Killed My Father? This isn’t the sort of undertaking you agree to because of the brownie points it gets you in the industry; four films in, we can be fairly sure that Jolie is serious about this directing lark. Most important, though, is the prominence of children in this whole sorry tale. Children from slums, orphanages, circuses. Precisely the sort of settings, in fact, from which Jolie’s three adopted children come, beginning with her eldest, Maddox, whom she adopted when he was a baby sleeping in a cardboard box suspended from the ceiling of a Battambang orphanage. Now 16, he is credited as an executive producer on the new film.
Celebrity-fixated tabloid media have trivialised Jolie’s appetite for adoption, just as they did to Mia Farrow and Madonna before her, but it would be churlish to cast aspersions on someone who has demonstrated such commitment to altruism and humanitarian work. She is a UN special envoy and has lobbied for the rights of child immigrants in the US as well as fronting Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative to stop rape and sexual assault being used as weapons in war zones.
