In an interview for next month’s Esquire magazine, Angelina said she wanted to be remembered for her humanitarian work.  "I have no animosity toward Hollywood or the demands of the red carpet, all that silliness," she told the magazine, "That’s my job, and I’m happy to have it. But when I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No.  I recently had an op-ed (column) published in a newspaper. And at the end, it didn’t say I was an actress, it said I was a UN goodwill ambassador - that’s all. And I was really proud."

Jolie legacy should be her UN work - June 6 2007
Angelina Jolie says she wants to be remembered for her humanitarian work.

"I have no animosity toward Hollywood or the demands of the red carpet, all that silliness," Jolie, 32, tells Esquire magazine in its upcoming July issue.

"That’s my job, and I’m happy to have it. But when I die, do I want to be remembered as an actress? No."

She added: "I recently had an op-ed (column) published in a newspaper," she continues. "And at the end, it didn’t say I was an actress. It said that I was a UN goodwill ambassador - that’s all. And I was really proud."

Jolie, an activist for issues ranging from global poverty to wildlife conservation, says she has found meaning as a citizen of the world.

"I entered this business before I had focus and purpose in my life," says Jolie. "I was very unhappy, very unhealthy, and when I sat down for an interview, I didn’t know why. I felt like I didn’t have anything to share. It was a very empty time."

Her life is now far from empty. Jolie and her partner, Brad Pitt, 43, have four children: five-year-old Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia; three-year-old Pax Thien, who was adopted from Vietnam; two-year-old Zahara, who was adopted from Ethiopia; and daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple a year ago.

"I try to make sure that each of my children has enough of my attention to feel equal. I try to make sure that my relationship with the man in my life is solid and complete and we’re very connected and having a great life together and enjoying our children and being part of the world. So that’s my life," she says.

"We don’t go to parties. We hardly ever leave the house. We try to schedule time when we’re alone," says Jolie, who sports various tattoos, wore a vial of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood around her neck during their marriage, and was blamed for Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston - which Pitt has denied.

"Right now, Pax is sleeping in our bed. It’s kind of nice, him immediately knowing and feeling comfortable with us," she says. "Madd slept with me until Brad and I got together. They’re fun to sleep with. We have family sleep on Sundays. Everybody sleeps together."



Shiloh turns one - June 1 2007
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has turned one - and the entire family celebrated in style in Prague, where mum Angelina is shooting her latest movie.

A whopping 50 balloons were brought in over the weekend, as well as cookies and cake to help the baby celebrate.

Angie had to work in the morning, but was back after lunch to spend the rest of the day with the birthday girl.

The entire Jolie-Pitt posse - Brad, Angie, Shiloh and the actress’s adopted children Maddox, Pax and Zahara - have been hanging out in Prague while Angelina shoots assassin thriller Wanted, which co-stars Morgan Freeman and Britain’s own James McAvoy.

And to stave off the boredom, Brad is making sure they do everything as a family, even the silly stuff.
