Angelina Jolie: ‘Today Show’ Interview

just lovely!

this looks to be a good interview, can’t wait to see the rest tonight and tomorrow. i really admire the conviction she has when she was speaking about the way in which Mariane lost her husband; very sad

This was a great interview! I loved the way Angie kept bringing the interview back to the Pearls!

Anyone who has doubts about the Jolie-Pitts please watch and listen to her words. If you don’t believe her and how heartfelt and honest she is, I can’t help you. I wish the whole family well.

No matter what anyone says, the woman is obviously intelligent, caring and articulate. Kudos for bringing attention to the murder of a talented journalist in a manner I expect is going to be sensitive and compelling.

Her smile is lovely and infectious!

Thanks to everyone who has provided all the wonderful links to pictures and videos and especially to you, Jared. I haven’t even been able to keep up enough to post. This was a very touching interview with Angelina. I am loving all the wonderful reviews A Mighty Heart has received, too. This was a huge risk for them both personally and professionally to film this movie IMO, and they seem to have done a great job. Much congratulations to them.

Jared this is the first time I feel I want to slap you! you choose the worse screencap of angie! please change it.

And of course, the most elite of the elite, the Oceans crew and Angelina holding court at the du Cap. Details coming….

Angelina Jolie: It’s Been a Heavy Year

The past months have offered tragedy and joy for Angelina Jolie.

“This has been a very heavy year, in losing my mom and having a fourth child,” the actress, 31, told Ann Curry in a Today show interview that aired Wednesday.

(Click here to watch a clip. The interview will continue Wednesday night on Dateline NBC.)

“I suppose I’m very aware of time and of memories and enjoying life,” Jolie continued, “not just doing the right thing and being a useful person – which I certainly want to be, and believe that I am.”

Recalling her mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who died in January at age 56 after a nearly 8-year battle with cancer, Jolie said: “I want to be a great mom like my mom was. And I also want to do things that I love.”

On Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival, where she and Brad Pitt premiered their new movie, A Mighty Heart, Jolie told reporters she plans to take a year off from acting to spend time with her family: Pitt, 43, and kids Maddox, 5; Pax, 3; Zahara, 2; and Shiloh, who turns 1 on May 27.

(Jolie adopted Pax in March from Vietnam, and recently added a fourth line to the tattoo on her left arm that features coordinates for the birthplaces of all her children.)

“I’m in a strange, I suppose, place in my life,” Jolie told Curry. “I think that happens when you lose a parent, where you drop into a different kind of serious. And yet, at the same time, you want to laugh and enjoy as much as possible every day.”

To that end, she said, “I’m hanging on to my family really tight at this moment, and, because of that, trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life.” At that point, Jolie broke down in tears. “Dammit,” she said, “you got me crying.”

Curry apologized, but Jolie, regaining her composure, said, “That’s alright. It’s part of life. … I lost my mom. It’s a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I’m happy she’s out of pain, because I love her and she’s my friend.”

I have to say I found Ann Curry annoying and unprofessional.
Angelina was there to talk about “A Mighty Heart” and all the time Curry tried to steer the interview to talking about Brad and Angie by trying to suck up to her.To me it seemed she didn’t even care aboout the film or the Pearls she just wanted some candy details about Brad, Angelina and the kids!That is in my mind very unprofesional and disrespectful towards the crew, the film itself and the Pearls! But I loved Angelina’s way of dealing with it even thoough in my mind one could see she didn’t like where Curry tried to go and that she had to always force the conversation to the actual topic.

I’m sure that Brad Pitt gave him a huge hug as soon as she finished the interview. It’s broke his heart to see her cry.

I think Ann knows what she can talk about to Angelina and Angelina and Brad always go back to her, so I think they trust her. She’s not annoying or unprofessional to me. Ann is their hand picked interviewer and they obviously like something about her. She does go into other subjects, but people also want to know about her private life.
