Angelina Jolie is known for perfect body, but she did something drastic to it in order to give herself a longer life. Her mother passed away from cancer at the age of just 56 and she wants to be here as long as she can for her 6 kids. So she went and got tested to see if she carried the BRCA1 gene. When she found out that she does, she opted for a preventive double mastectomy.
The Oscar winning actress shared a story in a NY Times Op-Ed and it is a must read for every woman out there and the men that love them. She holds nothing back in what she went through. Just in case you needed another reason to respect the sh!t out of her, you now have it. I could re-post excerpts from the article, but I think everyone needs to read it in its entirety because it is a real eye opener.
When I first came to Hollywood, I actually had the chance to interview her and I was blown away not only by her beauty but by her intelligence. Something I don’t think some people see, but I think her story will change their opinion of her. It made me think even higher of her.
She will be sharing even more details about what she went through on the Pink Lotus Breast Cancer website, so bookmark it for when she does.
Tonight at 10p on Syfy’s Warehouse 13 Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (JoAnne Kelly) go where they have never gone before. Not back in time or remote another on earth, but an artifact that transcends and traps them into a Noir novel. How will will they write their way out of there not so swell predicament? We will have tune in for the episode that Eddie McClintock described as “the funnest episode that we shot in the series.”
I recently spoke with the incredible talented and funny actor at the NBCU Summer Press Day and we talked about the making of this episode. He told me that they really cared about making the Noir scenes look authentic to the genre. He explained “It is shot in black and white and it is all done with the same lenses that they used back in the day. So it just doesn’t look like a colored show that is black and white. It is even lit as a Noir episode and such.”
And it wasn’t only the visual likeness that they were focusing on during this episode. There was something else that the actors had to do that was a lot of fun for them and will be fun for us to see. He said, “What was interesting is in those scenes Myka and Pete would have to speak in Film Noir speech. Then if someone would walk out of the room, we would go back to (normal) Pete and Myka. As soon as they came back in we would have to go back to Film Noir speak. It was a good acting exercise for us too.”
Then Eddie told me, see, that he thinks, “the fans are really going to dig it.” And I think for him to say that this is the funnest episode he has worked on in the show’s 49 episodes and counting, I think we are all going to dig it as much as he does.
And if you want to see Eddie McClintock in a completely different type of role, then you are going to want to keep your eye out on his upcoming movie A Fish Story that is currently being seen at film festivals. I don’t know about you, but the trailer for it blew me away. Such an interesting story and seems like all the actors are giving their all for this movie.
