Angelina Jolie accepted the Maltin Modern Master Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Wednesday, Feb. 5 and she shared something emotional.
She tells, "My mom was home with two little kids. My mom's dream was to be an actor. I believe my mother's mother's dream was to be an actor, which is probably why she took her to the theater in Chicago all the time."
"She was in her twenties, because she had me when she was very young. She was divorced to a very famous man and she was home with her babies in an apartment watching him win an Oscar with the other woman."
"It was kind of just a part of our family history. I remember thinking that [Bertrand] was there for me and my brother and that was the choice she made. And how she must have felt on that night always really stuck with me."
When it is Jolie's turn to attend and receive award at the 2000 Oscar, she thought of her mother, saying: "To have that moment, to get off that stage and call her and say, 'It's yours' — and I gave it to her — one of the best moments of my life."
