Angelina Jolie´s Breakdown

Angelina Jolie broke down in tears as she paid tribute to her late mother at a London press conference yesterday. The Oscar-winning actress started crying when asked about her onscreen character from her new movie Changeling which reminded her of her mother Marcheline who died in January last year.

Angie said: “Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world.She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this (film) is very much her, her story. She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength for knowing what was right.”
She also revealed how hard it was to take the part in the new movie because of it: “When I first read the script I just couldn’t put it down, but then I said no, I’m leaving it. I didn’t want to get involved with the project because it was too upsetting. But then I couldn’t stop talking about her (character). I found myself sitting with people and wanting them to know about this extraordinary woman.”
Angelina also talked about quting acting: “I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune financially not to have to work all the time, and I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. Maybe eventually I’ll stop (acting).”
