Angelina Jolie Makes Humanitarian Causes Sexy

Angelina Jolie is collecting gasps with her latest filmic incarnation -- the bewitching, nude mother of the monster Grendel -- in the soon to be unleashed "Beowulf," but the actress was very much in her down-to-earth humanitarian mode at a special screening and reception for her "A Mighty Heart" film at Paramount Studios Sunday night.

She was wearing a sweater and narrow black pants with high heels, and she appeared calm and centered amid a crush of people. She also looked healthy and glowing, contrary to myriad reports that have her sickly and too thin.

Chatting about "A Mighty Heart," which traces how a multinational team came together to try to save kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl from terrorists, she charmed the crowd, which was full of actors. She told our correspondent Phyllis La Voie that she wants to stress that Pearl's widow, Mariane Pearl, whom Angelina plays in the feature, continues to work hard covering the condition of women, particularly mothers, throughout the world.
