I would like to address one subject, though. And that is Angelina Jolie. As far as I can remember, I have never seen a single one of her performances. However, I have had the pleasure of meeting her on more than one occasion, and she is 100% down to earth, sweet, funny, and absolutely gracious. On a side note, her mother was one of the sweetest people I have had the opportunity to know.

Maybe Angelina's persona and the way she is portrayed in the press grates on some of you. It happens.

She isn't a bad person. In fact, she is a lovely and kind human being. She always has been to me, anyway. And she has never had any reason to kiss up to me or put on an act.

She's the real deal.

The media portrayal of people is not always reality.
Well, that means something. Honestly, the only thing most of us have is the public image to go by. I'm not crazy about her persona, but as I mentioned, the things she does in terms of charity are absolutely 100% commendable. I can't see how anyone could find fault when some of those celebs just shop and show off their splendor. Since you have personally met her and say she is sweet, etc, I believe you. She's probably shy and not concerned about coming off as personable or charming. Good for her and thank you for the info!! BTW, her mother was absolutely stunning. As pretty as Angelina is, her mother was, like, 10 times more gorgeous from what I saw...
