Angelina Jolie looked incredibly stylish as she stepped out in New York on Thursday.The Hollywood star wore a long plush black coat over a full-length black dress with towering black heels.Angelina, 42, was in a great mood and greeted fans gathered to catch a glimpse of her with a big smile.Angie wore her shoulder-length brunette hair in loose waves and added a touch of mascara and some glossy red lip color.She carried a black handbag with a long chain and went bare-legged in her stilettos despite the chilly evening air.It's been a good week for the mother-of-six who received two Golden Globe nominations for films she produced. Angelina received nods from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for First They Killed My Father, which she also directed, in the Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language category, and for The Breadwinner in the Best Motion Picture – Animated category. First They Killed My Father is about the atrocities in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge and stars Sareum Srey Moch and Phoeung Kompheak.Her movie The Breadwinner is about a young girl who lives under Taliban rule in Afghanistan who cuts off her hair to go to work so she can support her family.

They had been together since 2005.

You might think that Angelina Jolie really didn’t like herself if she had to resort to hiring a hitman to kill herself. This happened quite a few years ago when she’d married Billy Bob Thornton and was still known as one of the oddities of Hollywood. She was in a dark place back then apparently and had contemplated suicide for a while, but she didn’t want the stress of such a thing to wreak havoc on her family. So she contacted a hitman and asked to take out a contract on herself. Don’t ask where she found the hitman since it’s likely that this is another secret within Hollywood that many people would like to remain on the down low. But surprisingly, or not, the hitman decided to talk her out of it and eventually Jolie came to her senses. Just when you think you’ve heard it all.You might think that Angelina Jolie really didn’t like herself if she had to resort to hiring a hitman to kill herself. This happened quite a few years ago when she’d married Billy Bob Thornton and was still known as one of the oddities of Hollywood.

So she contacted a hitman and asked to take out a contract on herself. Don’t ask where she found the hitman since it’s likely that this is another secret within Hollywood that many people would like to remain on the down low. But surprisingly, or not, the hitman decided to talk her out of it and eventually Jolie came to her senses.Her reasoning seems kind of sound in a way but not entirely well thought since suicide does in fact do a lot of damage to a family, but a murder can do just the same. It’s especially brutal with murder when you have to think about who did it, why haven’t they been caught yet, and of course the most important question of why. Jolie even stated that the hitman spoke very sweetly to her and convinced her to take a month to think about things and then think about it. Jolie took the month and when things started to go better for her the planned suicide became less of a thought. It doesn’t seem like many hitmen would talk themselves out of a job, but apparently they do have heart.But it took all of a month for her to figure out that she had something worth living for, which is something that doesn’t entirely gel to be honest. People that live with depression don’t just snap out of it, but a month is a fairly long process when you’re living with depression. Each day can feel like a month, and a month can feel like a year or more. But really this almost sounds like she wasn’t truly thinking things over but was instead trying to find the easy way out. Getting someone to kill you might be easier than taking your own live but the collateral damage is just as bad. I kind of wonder if she looks back on that now and wonders about what might have happened.Jolie’s stardom has kind of waxed and waned over the years depending on what kind of movie she’s starring in, what’s in the tabloids, and of course what fans want to think about her. Personally I thought she was gorgeous when I was younger and on her good days I still do. But it really seems like she got played out early on in her career, meaning that she did too much too soon and didn’t spread her roles out for a prolonged period of time that would have allowed her to pace herself.I’m not even sure if you could call ordering a hit on yourself as a cry for help or just a wordless, meaningless cry.

Jolie says despite the success she's enjoyed during her career, she has never truly felt at home in front of the camera. Award-winning star Angelina Jolie has confessed she turned to acting simply to help her late mother Marcheline Bertrand pay her bills.The Academy Award-winning star says despite the success she's enjoyed during her career, she has never truly felt at home in front of the camera.She explained: "There's a lot that's not in my nature to be an actor."I'm very happy that I was able to be one - I'm very lucky and very fortunate - but I realised how much it was for my mother when she passed away, because I felt very differently about it as soon as she was gone."I think, when I started acting, it was a good means to an end. It was a job, and I wanted to help my mom with bills."It was a creative job, something where you get to explore different times in history, different people, different sides of yourself, learn different skills, so it's a wonderful job to have as you grow and as you learn as a person. But you also are not those people."Jolie, 42, conceded she's struggled to cope with the pressures of fame during her time in Hollywood.The actress-turned-director said that when she first emerged on the scene, she was too inexperienced in life to deal with the scrutiny she faced.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Jolie reflected: "You're young and you don't know exactly who you are, yet you also get a microphone in front of your face, and you're 17, 18, and people are asking you your opinions, and you haven't formed them yet."In the late 90s, Jolie even briefly turned away from the movie business, as she attended New York University.Of that experience, she recalled: "I was ready to kind of have a different life ... I'd done what everybody said you should do - become an actor. This is what should make you happy, right ...? I was miserable. I was completely unhappy."
