Angelina Jolie was reduced to tears when a caller phoned her on French radio to commend her for speaking about her double mastectomy.The actress underwent the preventative surgery in February 2013 after learning had an 87 per cent chance of getting breast cancer.Jolie went public with the news via an emotive self-penned piece in the New York Times called “My Medical Choice”.During an appearance on RTL radio, the caller said: ''I want to thank Angelina Jolie for having found the courage to say it. And to support this fight with all those we have lost, those who fought and who are real heroines facing the disease.''By this act of courage and bravery, by announcing her choice by assuming, she helps to demystify and popularise a subject that was taboo in France.''She is not only an extraordinary woman, but also an extraordinary mom.''''Oh my god," Jolie responded as she audibly became emotional."Thank you for this wonderful message. We are all together in this fight. Not only women, but the fathers, the sons who support us in this fight. I was myself inspired by so many women in my life that if I can in any way contribute to help others, I will.''I hope we can continue this discussion. Not only ovarian cancer or breast cancer, but all the health problems that women face. As the young woman said, talking about it removes the taboo. I think we should be proud to talk about it.''

SHE'S known for her Humanitarian work and a serious film director, but Angelina Jolie hasn't always been so conservative.New pictures have emerged of the Hollywood actress when she was just 20-years-old, and show a very different side to the Angelina that everybody knows now.In the seriously sexy snaps, Angelina can be seen licking a pair of silver handcuffs as she writhes up against a wall wearing a sexy black dress.The pictures were taken just before Angelina's acting debut in cyberpunk thriller 'Hackers', and no doubt brought her to everyone's attention.As she poses up a storm for the camera, the pretty star sports a bouncy brunette bob and plenty of eyeshadow as she pulls her famous pout.As she finds herself slipping more and more into her seductive role, Angelina pulls down her black strappy dress and faces the wall, showing off her bare back as she glances over her shoulder.With a few of her tattoos on show, the pretty actress pulls a series of over the top faces and pushes her groin into the stone wall.Wearing a pair of sky-high, strappy stilettos, Angelina even bends down at one point and covers her modesty with her stretchy attire as she gazes into the distance.Other shots show her wearing her hair in large rollers as she puffs on a cigarette and bends her slender pins.Angelina's first film went on to achieve cult classic status, and was her first big break ahead of roles in movies such as 'Girl, Interrupted' and 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider'.It is also where she met first husband Jonny Lee Miller, who played Dade Murphy in the 1995 film.For their wedding in March 1996, Angelina wore a pair of black rubber pants and a white T-shirt, upon which she had written the groom's name in her blood.However, she and Johnny separated in September 1997 and in 1999, with Angelina going on to marry actor Billy Bog Thornton.She has since put her wild child ways behind her and is now happily married to 'Fight Club' star Brad Pitt, with whom she has six children.Angelina has also received wide recognition for her humanitarian work, and in June of this year she was appointed an Honorary Dame Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (DCMG) for her services to the United Kingdom's foreign policy and campaigning to end sexual violence in war zones.The Queen presented her with the insignia of her honorary damehood during a private ceremony in October.

Angelina Jolie looks completely focused on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s Rule Breakers 2014 issue, out on newsstands now!Here’s what the 39-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On following her instincts: “There have been times in my career when I’ve gotten bored and sloppy. But I’ve done my best to listen to my gut. Because I feel you can do whatever you want in this life. So long as you don’t hurt anybody, you can do anything.”
On working with husband Brad Pitt in By the Sea: “Yes, we spent our honeymoon playing two people in a terrible marriage. I’m sure a therapist would have a field day analyzing the films I choose to do. But it’s been 10 years since Brad and I have worked together. It felt like it was time.”
On retiring from acting soon: “I don’t want to be in hair and makeup, I don’t want to be in wardrobe, I don’t want to have to stand on a mark or emote. It makes me feel like a caged tiger.”
