Angelina Jolie Tells WSJ She Is More At Home With Refugees Than in Hollywood

Actor, humanitarian, mother and global leader is profiled in the December 2023 issue of WSJ Magazine, with deeply personal photographs of Jolie wearing offerings from Atelier Jolie, shot by Annemarieke Van Drimmelen [IG] with styling by Tonne Goodman.

One of the most profound realities that she discussed with WSJ is her favorite people to spend time with.

“There’s a reason people who have been through hardship are also much more honest and much more connected, and I am more relaxed with them.

Anne’s Reflections

As I reposted this ‘Master Class’ 2011 fashion story by Mario Testino for British Vogue, I found myself thinking about American history back to the founding of our country and also the changes in the last 50 years of America.

It was a Protestant-dominant, moderate US Supreme Court who gave women the right to abortion and contraception in 1973, based on constitutional arguments.

Five decades later, a disproportionately-conservative, Catholic-dominant Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade with the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

This Roberts court is not finished giving state governments absolute control over women’s bodies. AOC will educate readers and fight for the return of our hard-won rights in the 2024 elections. ~ Anne
