In 2013, the star of “Maria” had to undergo a double mastectomy after her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died in 2007 following a cancer diagnosis.
In the year of her surgery, Angelina Jolie wrote an article for The New York Times titled “My Medical Choice,” explaining that tests had detected a gene that increased the chances of developing breast cancer.
“But it is a decision I am very happy to have made. My chances of developing cancer dropped from 87 percent to less than 5 percent,” she wrote at the time.
In her interview with Time, the actress explained that she wanted to join these women, knowing that the magazine would bring information about “prevention and cancer itself”.
Angelina Jolie also commented on her quote on the cover: “Life is stronger. Courage is shared”.
In 2025, the actress starred in the film “Coutures,” directed by Alice Winocour. Angelina Jolie plays Maxine Walker, a horror film director who discovers a cancer diagnosis.
