Angelina Jolie at the Rosie O'donnell Show [1999]

Back-to-back Golden Globe Awards for her performances in the TV movies Gia and George Wallace. Beginning today, she stars with Denzel Washington in The Bone Collector. A scary movie, but because she's in it, I'm going to see it. Please welcome Angelina Jolie. Hi. How are you? Thanks for coming back. Look at all those little toys. Yeah, I know. I got a collection. I'm all distracted. Back there, there's little ho-hos and things. No, ring-dings. Ring-dings. Not ho-hos. I didn't look too close because I didn't want to get them. Now, where did you grow up? I was trying to avoid that. Well, back and forth, but a lot here. So, you know the drakes versus the other products. You said ho-ho, which I believe is a hostess product. I'm plugging. That's okay. I'm plugging drakes, yo-yo, you know, yodels, ring-dings, funny bones. Ring-dings, yeah. But you don't strike me as a junk food girl. No. Are you? Yeah. You are. I'm a big junk food girl. Come on! I could just eat that, though, and have, like, you know, little snowballs. This is delightful news for me! I thought you were going to be all tofu-y on me or something. No, I'm kind of a meat eater. And you go to McDonald's, too? Yeah. Oh, Angelina, we are going to be good friends. You get the toys. The Happy Meal, that's what these are. I have a collection of Happy Meal toys. It started, like, in 1982. We could just hang out for days. I know, we could. But you live here, right? I do. But you don't live here. I live here. When did you move here? A few years ago. Well, when you were last on the show, you didn't live here. Yeah, I did. But you didn't tell me you lived here. You thought I was a nerd. You didn't want to bite me off. No, I... Come on, tell the truth. Did you think it? No. I would love to... No, I thought it would be... I wasn't just, hi, I live here, and I'd love to have a friend. No, because when I saw you at the Gia premiere, I was like, Angelina Jolie, cool kid in high school, me, student council. Okay, that's what I was thinking. You'd be hanging out in the gym, you know, by the back door, smoking with the boys, and I'd be like, I think I have extra homework, so I'm at school! Were you a good student? Probably subject to... No. No, not at all? No. No, well, what I was interested in, yeah, I really... But I was arguing all the time from what we... With the teachers? Why we had to do math, when we had calculators, why we had to go so far. You know what? To certain things. History was a little confusing. History? Yeah, it was a little confusing, what exactly was right or wrong. I had very active parents, so I was always questioning. Did you get kicked out of school? Come on, you can tell me. I'm your friend now. We're going to go get a 7-Eleven and get a snowball. I volunteered to go to a certain program before they kicked me in there. Really? Yes. For the troubled youth? I voluntarily went in. Excellent. And did you excel? I did, actually. I got out a year and a half early, which shocked my parents, and they suddenly went in and didn't know what to do with me. And then did you go to college? No, I started working. Right away. Because you're young. You're just a kid. I could have been your babysitter. I'm almost 38. How old are you? 26? 24. You're a child! You're 24! Oh, boy. She's a nice babysitter. You're a whole other generation, I can tell you that right now. Now, did you used to play Atari when you were a kid? Was that before your time? Are you writing to Nintendo? No, I think... Yeah, Atari. You know. Pong? Nintendo, yeah. Do you have the Nintendo? I had the Pong. We were like Pac-Man. I was Pac-Man. Really? I was right at that, you know. Ms. Pac-Man? Yeah. Not really? Anything with a bow on it. I was being really tough. Yeah, right. You weren't Ms. Pac-Man. Are you kidding? That's for wimps. I never played that. Exactly. It's a baby game. Space Invaders? How about that? Yeah. Yeah, that was good. Now, is your new movie really scary? Because I don't like scary movies. It's funny, because I was... You know, when you work on it, so you can't really... But yeah, it was scary to shoot. It was kind of... It was just... It was very dark, and it was very... It's very heavy, but it was kind of... You know, the end of it is about why you live, and what's great about fighting for each other together, and fighting for a life, and fighting for... So... And it's very kind of romantic and sensual with the two main characters. So it's not just horror scary? No. Well, that's good. I mean, it's actually the sexiest film I feel I've ever done. Really? Yeah. Did you see Gia? Curious. Pretty sexy, just so you know. It was, wasn't it? Yeah. Now, this movie opens today, and were you nervous to be in a big, big, big budget movie? It's your first big Hollywood movie, isn't it? Yes, very nervous. Were you nervous? I'm very nervous. How come? Because I guess I'm responsible if it doesn't do well. But you're responsible if it does. To be honest. Yeah, well, but you also... There's an upside to that. If it does well, then... Yeah. Well, it's funny, because it's like Denzel Washington. It's like a cop. A New York City police, you know, which would get me in trouble walking down the streets here, because you see them. I saw them today. You see the NYPD, and I'm like, how's it going? You know, still thinking I'm like wearing a badge. Oh, you're thinking... And I'm going, why is that actress saluting me? Do you know that before I was famous, I would often do that when I would see people on the street. I would say that I was a cop. Honestly, I would. Like, if I saw a guy and a girl fighting, I'd say, hey, I'm with the 5'2". Yes, so you can go over. Right. And then they would like leave each other alone. Well, I did it once after the show was on. So was I. And the person goes, are you kidding me? You're Rosie O'Donnell. I was like, oh my God, because I totally busted myself. It's true. I don't know why I did that, but I did. How much clout do we have? Do you know? I think when they first, he first kind of recruits her in, and she wants to kind of get away from this whole thing, get away from the forensics. And it's a little too close to death. And he's going to enforce her. Denzel plays a cop who has been injured. He was injured a few years before. He was the best forensic detective around. And he had an accident. He became a quadriplegic. So they're both in a place in their life where they're kind of questioning how much they're worth, how much they can be useful. And they're kind of about to give up. So they're forced together to fight each other and to kind of challenge each other to see if they're up to bat. And they kind of. Okay. It looks great. I saw the trailer. It really does look good. Take a look at the clip, The Bone Collector, which opens today. I want you to work the case with us. It's not my area. Are you being modest or are you a little uneasy about doing some real police work? Forensics is not my area. I disagree with you. Well, you can't force me to take this assignment. I can. And if I refuse? I would say that you're putting your career at serious risk. Well, you think because of your condition you have the right to push people around? I'm sorry. That is truly pathetic. Truly? Yeah, damn right. Truly. Well, forgive me. Truly, if I insist on having someone with your brains and a fresh pair of eyes, there's a life at stake here, officer. Right. The Bone Collector, which opens today. Did you have a good Halloween? You were here in New York. Did you go to the parade? I did. I forgot it was Halloween. You did? And I was supposed to meet with my dad because I'd been doing press and I was sleeping late. So I went out and it took me a second to realize why everybody was looking really funny. Right. Did anyone come to your door? Ding dong, trick or treat? No, I'm in an apartment building, so they didn't. Sometimes they do in the elevator. But they do, you know, in New York, they do on various days. Yeah. Just come knocking. Three or four days in a row. People come over. Yeah. People knock on New Year's Eve. Trick or treat. Sorry. Hey, this is you as a little girl with your dad. Look at how adorable this is. This is him, Jane. That's the ozone layer. Yeah, how old were you then? Were you like seven or eight? I don't even know. Yeah, really young. That was my first attempt at being a girl. I went, I went. I was never, I just didn't know how to dress. Well, you look awful cute there. I thought girl, girly, lace. Yeah, that's like that Laura Ashley kind of thing. It's in Jane magazine, and there's the cover, which we have to show. Whenever we show a photo, are we getting in trouble? There you go. It's great to see you. You too. I hear you jumped in the pool after you won your second Golden Globe. I did. I kind of thought everybody was going to jump in with me. I was so sure that everybody was going to just be fun and just hang out. I just went down there. I went in with my husband, even though we were already separate. He was there to support. My brother was just right with me. Everybody went full. My manager came running out in his boxer shorts. We all just went jumping in. At the hotel where the party was. Yeah. It wasn't like in your own house. No, because then we had to walk through everybody else who was still at the party. Yeah, and you were soaking wet. Soaking wet. Yeah. I thought it was so nice the way you spoke of your brother when you won that award. Oh, goodness. Obviously something that was unprepared and so moved you. I just thought it was very touching. He's backstage right now supporting me. I'm going to meet him since I'm your new best friend. We'll be right back.
