Angelina Lets Her Guard Down, Just A Bit, to Ann Curry

Earlier in the week we got a peek at Angelina talking about avoiding the media coverage of her life in her exclusive new interview with Ann Curry to promote A Mighty Heart. This morning's Today Show aired a portion of the interview, and after watching the clip, I must say that I was impressed by how poised Angelina comes off, even when reduced to tears talking about her mother. On that difficult subject, "I'm at a strange place in my life. I think that that happens when you lose a parent — you drop into a different kind of serious. And yet, at the same time, you want to enjoy and laugh as much as possible every day...I'm holding onto my family really tight at this moment because of that. And trying to be as good a woman as I can be in my life." Check out the clip here and watch the full interview tonight on Dateline NBC.
