OlderAngelina Jolie Crying @ Clinton Global Intiiative
Angelina Jolie is wonderful in white as she waves to photographers before leaving a midtown New York City office building Thursday afternoon.
Just yesterday, she spoke at a forum during the Clinton Global Intiative and shared a very moving story, which brought her to tears while telling it
As told by The Huffington Post, “Angelina Jolie [told] one of the most moving stories I think I’ve ever heard about two refugees that she met in Syria. One had been brutally burned and dumped in a trash can and the other was a ten year old boy, and how the two of these people somehow helped each other over a period of months. She was convinced that this little boy, who had spent so much time taking care of this horribly burnt man, who literally had maggots in his wounds, would someday be a doctor and that these people we call refugees are all people that are regular, hard-working people that have been stripped of everything.”

that was a lovely poem. i’m sure it will help MF and her family cope with the loss and accept that her MIL is now in a better place.
MF - my prayers are with you and your family. comfort yourselves with all the wonderful times you had with her.
Thanks Jared!!!! :D She’s practically luminescent. Even in pictures she exudes such positive energy.
Angie is truly an admirable lady. What she and Brad are doing to help the less fortunate is truly inspirational. I, for one, have started supporting finacially the causes they advocate.
Thank you JJ for the posting the lovely pictures.
“Everybody in this room is very well-educated”?? – Yeah, except for you Angie… You didn’t even finish high school! For the sake of honesty and decency let’s face facts, if she weren’t beautiful and Jon Voight’s daughter she’d be in skid row right now… I’m neither a “hater” nor am I a fan, but I do hate hypocrisy.
195 heather : 09/27/2007 at 6:51 pm ,Oh Heather you are really full of it!Nice try though,but the little “put downs” in your post are a dead give away.You just don’t like Angelina so you will ALWAYS find fault with anything she does.BTW Angelina IS a role model,like it or not!She is a remarkable woman who has turned her life around for the better.Next time you might want to let-up on the insults,maybe you would be more convincing with your “concerns.”:lol:
Love Angie, Love Brad. Their kids are very lucky! They have fantastic parents! It is wonderful to see them get involve! They are talented beyond the acting realm.
No one like them!
One more comment Brad’s family should be proud! Angie’s dad —well lets not go there.
199 Annie : 09/27/2007 at 7:08 pm ,She graduated at 16!This information has been documented in her biography.
I totally agree with #195 Heather - Angelina’s humanitarian work and adoption of underprivileged kids is commendable, but anybody that looks to her as a role model is delusional. She’s a rich and beautiful Hollywood star and is in a relationship with another beautiful Hollywood star. I think people just wish they WERE HER and they’re confusing that with “role models”. Grow up America! Try to concentrate on making something of yourselves instead of living in a fantasy world and dreaming of being Angelina. Totally pathetic!
Love Brad and Angelina and their whole family, I pray they tie the knot soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Smart and Beautiful Couple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #1
I agree with all the Angelina fans. I can’t say it better than they can so I’ll just say God Bless.
JJ thanx for sharing this wonderfully moving and intelligent speech. This is why I love Angelina and Brad is turning into an amazing activist as well. Kudos.
“Angelina Jolie still remains publicly cryptic as to how she graduated from high school…” - http://www.ringsurf.com/online/84-angelina_jolie.html
I’m an attorney so until I see high school certificate scan with Angelina’s name on it I’m not going to buy into this “fact”. She doesn’t look nor sound like some sort of genius that could graduate high school two years before the rest of us. And BTW let’s assume for the sake of this argument that she did graduate from high school; again, a high-school certificate does not make one “very well-educated”. I think I’ve devoted enough of my time to this interesting yet inaccurate “conversation”. Peace.
I think it is wonderful to see how much she is willing to speak on behave of those who are less fortunate and need so much. I think some of her fellow actors should listen to her and donate to these causes. God knows they make enough money in one movie to more than likely help these refugees out for a lifetime. Bless you.

Love her! She is amazing. Im so proud to be a fan!
I’m sorry but she has stated the obvious! Nothing “outstanding” about her speech at all.
I emjoyed the plenary AJ was on … her compassion was refreshing.
Nice to see her looking happy (& good)

PS. To keep the threads free of hate filled posts hit REPORT ABUSE
Thanks JJ, you are the best. For the record, someone wants to check her highschool record. Go to Los Angeles Unified School District, she graduated from Beverly Hills High School, same year as Lenny Cravatz. She went to Lee Strasberg Film School and also attended NYU majoring in film. She took a few courses unlike Brad who was 2 weeks short of graduating from a journalism degree from University of Missouri.
Anyway, both of them make more $ than me who holds a Masters degree. And of course, they have charity advisors and they are talented and gorgeous.
Jealousy will lead you nowhere.
FAKER!!! and the proof is how she treats Shiloh. When Shiloh grows up, all these emotion faking will be revealed.
Honey give it a rest!You do not know how she treats Shiloh.So stop with the tabloid and gossip crap!
Very touching. AJ is a wonderful speaker on issues she is passionate about. Her stories always makes my heart ache and open my mind up.
Angelina you have a wonderful soul! your fans are all so very proud of you! we will support you forever! God bless you always!
Jealous haters can say what they want, but nothing can change Angelina by being recognized and respected by World leaders .
She’s an amazing, intelligent, compassioante woman ! love her !
195 heather and 204 Annie
—— Another pair of sour grape looser !
We know Angelina was not the only one doing all these good deed, Angelina had said before she is not Mother Teresa of HW. WE all knew it ! don’t need to tell us.
There’s a million way of improving image, hire a PR guru just like Aniston does, she could lazily lie at her mansion sipping margaritas while her Huvane does all the works. Going to the most dangerous area in the world , visiting the poorest countries in this world were not only dangerous but also tiring. Angie doesn’t need to do that . Angie dosen’t need to donate million of dollars to charity org. We knew several actresses including Aniston never give back ,was never grateful to the society who make them a millionairs.
You hate to admit it. Angelina was way above Brad X in every category. Although not bonded legally, but Angelina was more devoted , more committed, more like a wife to Brad Pitt.
WE know haters troll, Truth alway hurt !
