After revealing she underwent a double mastectomy in February, Jon Voight says Angelina Jolie is focusing on her role as a director."She's doing good," the actress's father told PEOPLE at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, Getaway, at the Regency Village Theater on Monday."She's getting ready to do her film, to direct her film," Voight, 74, added, referring to Jolie's next project, Unbroken, that starts filming in October.Based on the bestselling book by Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken is the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic athlete who became an Army Air Corps officer during World War II, survived a plane crash and years spent in Japanese POW camps.

When Jolie, 38, revealed her decision to undergo the procedure after genetic tests revealed she had a high risk of developing breast cancer in May, Voight – who was estranged from Jolie for several years – told the New York Daily News that he learned along with the rest of the world."I was surprised as anyone and deeply moved by the way she's handled this," he said at the time.The mom of six appears next in Disney's Maleficent, a re-telling of the Sleeping Beauty story form the evil queen's point of view, opening July 2, 2014.

Lady Gaga Channels Angelina Jolie At 2013 MTV VMAs

We can always count on Lady Gaga for being unpredictable on the red carpet.The "Applause" singer showed up at the 2013 MTV VMAs not in an egg or in a meat dress (bo-ring!) but in a rather understated yet sexy look that channeled Angelina Jolie's goth ensemble at the 2000 Oscars."Mother Monster", as her fans dub her, sported a more laidback look complete with Jolie-esque raven hair, natural makeup and a long black Prabal Gurung dress which wasn't quite as sexy and Angie's Elvira-inspired gown but was definitely not as avant-garde as most of her former outfits (see Kermit jacket).So, what's going on? Is that really Lady Gaga underneath the nearly makeup-free face and a dress that has an actual sparkly sash tied around it?Fortunately, we were able to breathe a sigh of relief when the high heel lover got up on stage and changed not once, but a fabulous five times. Now that's the Gaga we know and love.
