Back in 2000, Angelina Jolie was offered a role in the the movie, "Charlie's Angels" but she rejected it.

"All my roles in Gia, Playing By Heart, and The Bone Collector have been strong female. The idea of being a big STAR has absolutely NO APPEAL to me".

She decided to choose "Gone in 60 seconds" and said, "That was going to be my fun movie, and I was going to have fun doing it with guys".

Angelina Jolie talked to Elle magazine about women described as witches. She thinks that women who run for political office in democratic countries are described as witches. Woman who stand up for human rights in many countries are still labeled “deviant,” “bad mothers,” “difficult,” or “loose.”

She thinks wicked women are just women who are tired of injustice and abuse. Women who refuse to follow rules and codes they don’t believe are best for themselves or their families. Women who won’t give up on their voice and rights, even at the risk of death or imprisonment or rejection by their families and communities.

Hence, she thinks that the world needs more wicked women.

Angelina Jolie gave birth to Shiloh in a small hospital in Africa

During a conversation with Vanity Fair (2008), Angelina Jolie revealed that she did not give birth to Shiloh in a fancy expensive hospital but rather in a small hospital in Africa.  She wanted to get far from paparazzi.

Jolie shared, "We were in this little hospital in Africa when Shi was born. I don’t think there was anybody else in the hospital. It was just a little cottage, the three of us. It ended up being the greatest thing. We had wonderful doctors and nurses. It was lovely, very personal, all three in this sweet room. We had an American doctor with us, who had met the Namibian doctors, and they worked in tandem because it was a C-section and my first and we didn’t know the country. He spent a few weeks with us. There was only one pediatrician in town, and one anesthesiologist, who had to come in for that—you have to plan it.”

Jolie was also asked where does the name Shiloh come from. Jolie explained, “It’s a biblical name but we didn’t name her for that. It was a name my parents almost named their first child—there was a miscarriage: Shiloh Baptist. Because my father had been shooting in Georgia and that was the most southern name [my parents] could come up with. It’s a name I always liked. I used to go under it in hotels: Shiloh Baptist. I’d gone under it when [Brad] called hotel rooms where I was staying."
