OlderAngelina Jolie & Marianne Pearl: Worst People to Plan a Playdate
Marianne Pearl, the wife of the slain Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl, and Angelina Jolie (she plays her in the upcoming film A Mighty Heart) sits down with Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive for an interview at Angelina’s home. Here are some fun excerpts:
CINDI LEIVE: So Mariane, you started to tell me the story of how you guys initially met, which to my surprise had absolutely nothing to do with A Mighty Heart.
MARIANE PEARL: One day a few years ago, I was alone in New York with Adam, still having a rough time [after Danny’s death]. I read an interview with Angie in a magazine, about her and Maddox and her life as a single mom. And I thought, this woman could be my friend…. I’d never experienced anything like that before in my life. It was something in her tone, in the answers that she gave. I felt also that Maddox and Adam [then both about three] could be good friends. So I sent her a note saying, do you want to have a playdate?
ANGELINA JOLIE: And I, on the other side of it, had been aware of you through the time that everything went down. I remember being amazed by your courage and your grace…. And when I got the note, I was thrilled. Later I realized that Mariane and I are the two worst people to plan a playdate in the history of playdates.
CL: Why?
AJ: Because she hates the phone as much as I do. So it almost didn’t happen! But when it finally did, I remember being really nervous, thinking, she’s such an intelligent European woman—what are we going to do together? So we went to this serious, European, existential play—it seemed like the right thing [and it was supposed to be OK for kids]. But Adam and Mad got antsy, and finally halfway through, to each other’s relief, we were both like, do you want to get out of here? And we ran out and went back to Mariane’s place….
MP: We cooked pasta; it was actually good. And then we started talking about changing the world…
AJ: …and about all the things we were passionate about. Her instincts were right—we did have so much in common. And all the kids are great friends now. Zahara is madly in love with Adam.

Got into this story on the other thread and loooooved it, the more i get to know about this women [truth] the more i admire her.
Thank you Jared SO MUCH for putting up this article!!
Two very real and formidable women coming together. They share so much and this is a very beautiful and true friendship. I can’t wait for AMH.
love the picture, what a beautiful house :)
stranger- I just left a post for you on the other thread :)
hi
english is not my first language,because iam frenchy.
i love angie too much.
nice picture
why people hate angelina? for me she ’s beautiful person inside and out.
je l’aime beaucoup et je ne comprends pas pourquoi on la déteste tant. pourtant j’ai suivis un reportage recemment et j’ai appris que jennifer s’était marié à brad par intéret uniquement. donc c’est elle qui ment à tout le monde que tout allait bien. brad a tout simplement eu marre des mensonges de ce ridicule mariage et il s’est éloigné d’elle, puis il a trouvé l’amour à la personne d’angelina . lorsque je vois brad sur les photos il est accro à cette femme ; alors pourquoi les tabloids s’acharne t-il contre elle? MOI JE L’AIME TROP et je trouve injuste qu’on s’en prenne à elle tout simplement parcequ’elle est très belle ,intelligente ,a de beaux enfants et a brad pitt.
en tout cas très beau blog(JJ)
GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITT
Just read the excerpt and what potential for an interesting and inspiring conversation between two of the most interesting women in the world right now. Also proves the point to the naysayers that AJ doesn’t have women friends…and the women friends she does have…wow! No superficiality here…pure heart and intellect…more power to that aspect of women (men too) that unfortunately most women don’t value in themselves or in other men. A great face and body is just icing to heart and intellect.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
Ah, Angie looks like she’s starting to put the weight back on. She looks healthier for sure.

a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding
Don’t bite!
Everyone click on “flag comment” and request that Jared BAN “interesting”!

Euh bela t’en fait pas un peu beaucoup là? Jennifer se serait marié par intérêt avec Brad? Pfff quelle foutaise encore! On voit au regard qu’elle avait en le regardant qu’elle en était folle.
Et puis pourquoi dire du mal d’Angelina quand on aime Jennifer ou dénigrer Jennifer quand on aime Angelina? Brad a fait son choix et puis c’est tout, pas la peine de toujours remuer le passé!
Et perso j’aime les 2 alors pour moi aucun problème.
Sorry that I wrote in french but I was answering Bela, a frenchie like me ;)
What a nice article excerpt and picture. It’s great these ladies are actually friends and were PRIOR to her and Brad ever coming to be. Now people can stop with the nonsense theory of Marianne HAVING to accept Angie to play the part just because Brad was the producer of the film. It’s clear that wasn’t the case from the time frame laid out here.
P.S. Please ignore the multiple messages saying the same nonsense over and over. It’s not necessary to respond IMO.
