"She is an actress hampered by her gorgeous face, I think the most beautiful face on the planet." Clint Eastwood said at the New Yorker Festival on Saturday. "People sometimes can't see past that, to her talent. She's on all these magazine covers so it's easy to overlook what an amazing actress is underneath."
Eastwood, who directed Jolie in Changeling, likened the star's work ethic to that of Meryl Streep.
"Actors know with me they aren't going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right, so they come with their full bag of tricks," Eastwood said. "Angelina is a lot like Meryl Streep in that respect."
Jolie plays a mother, who 9-year-old son is kidnapped in Eastwood's 1920s-based drama.
He added: "Angelina had studied this part a great deal before, she had read the news clippings, and she made suggestions during the process."

Jolie is set to make her first red carpet appearance since welcoming twins Knox and Vivienne at Saturday's premiere. (The premiere also marks the first time the actress has been in the United States since giving birth.)

The movie debuted to critical acclaim at this year's Cannes Film Festival with many predicting Jolie will land another Oscar nomination.
Changeling opens in limited release October 24.

CreWhy is every one so TEAM ANISTON. She still hasn't been able to keep a solid relationship so please don't blame Brad & Angelina. Timing is everything. The relationship was obviously on the outs cause I really don't see Brad Pitt missing a "sensitivity chip" sorry Jen.

karenStop it, stop it, stop comparing Angelina to Jennifer. They are two different individuals. Brad was ready to move on with his life and Jen was just getting her career started. People change as they move into different stages of their lives and find different partners to move on with. Thats why there is so many divorces, people change. Angelina is Brads soul mate, get used to it and get over itreport abuseposted October 6, 2008 10:29 AM PDT

GoddessNot to mention, why is everyone mad about someone else's business? You'd think that Jen was your relative the way some of you come down on Angelina. Brad obviously didn't want Jen anymore. We don't know what happened & we aren't getting paid a dime to take up Jen's fight! It's so old it ridiculous, who cares anymore?!?! They'vreport abuseposted October 6, 2008 7:52 AM PDT
