To start off, I love me some Angelina Jolie. She’s perhaps the only actress I will line up opening day to see, she’s incredibly sexy, a great celebrity whose life is endlessly fascinating, and she’s extremely philanthropic. In short she’s this generation’s Elizabeth Taylor and we all stand in awe of her. Yesterday, she released an op-ed in the NY Times speaking about how she arrived at the decision to have preventative double mastectomy surgery after taking a test that revealed she had the gene for breast and ovarian cancer. She speaks at length in the article about her mother who died from the disease, her children asking her if she would have the same fate and her partner Brad Pitt sticking by her side. Angie ends the piece by talking about how women should be proactive in their health as well as subtly critiquing the health care system for the cost of this test.
