ANGELINA JOLIE AND FATHER ARE SPEAKING

Angelina Jolie

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has reconciled with her dad, actor Jon Voight after eight years of not getting along very well. Angelina cut her father out of her life in 2001 after he voiced concerns about her mental health shortly before she adopted son Maddox from the very poor country of Cambodia. Voight has made attempts to mend his strained relationship with Jolie on numerous occasions, and reportedly sent Angelina a copy of their forgotten 1982 comedy "Lookin' To Get Out" over the summer, when it was released on DVD for the first time. It now looks now the couple are in touch, although Voight is admitting they don't talk as frequently as he would have liked. He tells Us Weekly magazine, "We're in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that's the most important thing." A close friend of Jolie says it was her partner Brad Pitt who encouraged her to reunite with her father. The insider says, "Angie made the initial contact. Brad has been supportive - a key factor in her reaching out."
