Angelina Jolie: Her face, her fame
When we say here at CBS News that correspondent Bob Simon is one of our most experienced reporters, we are usually talking about his coverage of war, revolution, uprising, crime, and politics.
Yet when it came to his most recent assignment - a profile of the elegant actress Angelina Jolie - Bob was not without some familiarity.
After all, back in 2005, he profiled Aishwarya Rai, an Indian actress. The title of that piece was "The Most Beautiful Woman In The World" - and if you've seen that segment, you'll know that the title was fitting.
When it came time to interviewing Angelina Jolie - among the most photographed women in the world - Bob tells Overtime he gave some thought to his question about Jolie's famous face, and even did a bit of research with female friends. His novel question to the actress: "Most women who are beautiful realize it when they're two or three years old. Did you?"
Angelina's answer, and indeed her entire interview, proves one thing: she's much more than just a pretty face. She is an accomplished actress and now, also, a writer and director.
On "60 Minutes" this week, Bob talks with Jolie about her new film, "In the Land of Blood and Honey." It's a love story between a Muslim woman and a Serbian man during the war in Bosnia. The producer of "Angelina" is Tom Anderson.
