A Friend and Sister

A radiant looking Angelina Jolie stepped out Monday night for the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards held in Washington D.C. Ms Jolie gave the Fern Holland Award to her close friend, Mariane Pearl, wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl.

Since playing the role of Pearl in A Mighty Heartthe two have become good friends. Maddox, Pax and Adam (Mariane’s son) play together when they can. Jolie told the audience of Mariane’s gift of being a mother and said that Pearl was an example of “courage, hope and tolerance,”. While accepting the award, Pearl returned by saying that Jolie was “a sister”.
