Overview
- Jolie said Thursday that she has "recovered [her] spirit of fight" largely because her six children encouraged her to travel, work and reclaim parts of herself.
- She is promoting the film Couture, a return-to-acting project she made with son Maddox that Jolie says fits her goal of shorter absences from home and steady income.
- Jolie has linked elements of Couture to personal history, noting the film’s mastectomy storyline recalls her BRCA1-related preventive surgery reported in earlier public writing.
- Her long legal and financial disputes with Brad Pitt remain active, with reports highlighting ongoing contention over the Château Miraval vineyard.
- Observers say Jolie’s shift toward more selective acting roles reflects a personal recalibration as her children near adulthood and take more control of their lives.
