“My daughter Viv loves theater,” Angelina explained in the interview that was published on June 10. “She appreciates all theater, but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to. She went to see The Outsiders at La Jolla about five times and was telling me about it, and I had read the book, and I’d seen the film years ago.”
The Outsiders is based on the novel of the same name published in 1967. A film adaptation was released in 1983. It focuses on teenager Ponyboy Curtis in Tulsa, Oklahoma, as two rival gangs named the Socs and the Greasers butt heads over their socioeconomic positions.
While speaking with Deadline about the effect the story had on her daughter, Angelina explained how it felt to work with Vivienne.
“It was a very different experience of understanding, of how this is having a significant effect on her as a young person right now, and she’s communicating something to me, and that is the power of this material, which was in really good shape even by then,” the Girl, Interrupted star said. “And then I had the privilege of watching everyone work over this last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the whole way.”
In addition to Vivienne, Angelina shares children Shiloh, Zahara, Maddox, Pax and Knox with ex-husband Brad.
Vivienne and Angelina’s Tony win comes amid apparent family drama, as most of the Jolie-Pitt kids have opted to drop their father’s name from their last names. Shiloh, 18, filed to remove “Pitt” from her surname last month.
The name changes come amid Brad and Angelina’s ongoing, messy legal battle after they split in 2016.
