Angelina Jolie hosted a dinner and discussion at Atelier Jolie in N.Y.C

Angelina Jolie hosted a dinner and discussion at Atelier Jolie in N.Y.C. There were 20 guests, included Columbia University's Dr. Rita Charon, a general internist and literary scholar, as well Alice Winocour.

In her speech, she shared about the movie, "Couture", "It has something to say that I thought could be useful to people, showing how everyone is dealing with things that make us very human, and that if we can figure out how to live through challenges by leaning on each other and having more empathy towards one another, the better and less alone we will be".

"Alice is a wonderful director and approaches the stories of the women in Couture with sensitivity and hope. The film is not about an end for my character but rather about a renewed desire to live life until your last breath which particularly resonates with me at this time in my life".

"I am not sure I was strong enough even five years ago to do this. To be open and trusting to share and be vulnerable again".

"Things happen in life that take us off path. We lose ourselves and we feel isolated. I would have given anything to have my mother alive to be there for her grandchildren".

Angelina Jolie tries to make at least one movie every 18 months to maintain her lifestyle

Angelina Jolie tries to make at least one movie every 18 months to maintain her lifestyle.

Source said, "There are aspects of moviemaking and movie acting that are always going to be annoying to Angelina, but she is resigned to the economics of the situation. Movies have been and will continue to be the way she makes her money, for the foreseeable future."

"Angelina isn't greedy. She is willing to work on a smaller film or as part of an ensemble cast for a discounted rate, but she would never do this stuff for free. To continue to live the way she does, and to maximize her family's privacy, security and overall lifestyle, she's going to keep trying to make at least one movie every 18 months, if not more."

"She's still got deep contacts at Marvel and A-list admirers like Christopher Nolan who will build a blockbuster around her if she wants. But she is digging deeper into the European film scene and she likes what she's finding there."

Jolie is also challenging herself to carefully consider every opportunity that comes from a female writer or director.

Source added, "That's an area where she can actually make a difference and highlight new voices."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Knox omits "Pitt" surname from his high school diploma weeks before turning 18.

According to a source who spoke to Page Six, Angelina is pleased with what they view as her successful efforts to drive a wedge between the children and their father.

Source tells, "It’s so sad for the entire family that she would use the same weapon of the name change over and over for any other purpose other than to hurt their father. This was her goal and she succeeded."

Another source told Page Six, "Angelina participated in years of family therapy with Brad and the children for everyone to try to heal after the events that led her to file for divorce."

"If he isn’t close to the kids, it’s because of the harm that was done. He wasn’t honest about his actions, and it affected the trust between them. It’s been very hard for the kids. No one knows, except them, how bad it has been."

"The children are now adults and make their own decisions, which deserve respect. If they choose to distance themselves from him, it comes from that pain and harm. It’s really horrible that he has tried to paint himself as a victim. When will people start asking real questions about what happened to the kids?".
