Jolie married Thornton in jeans at a Las Vegas wedding chapel in 2000. The fees cost the couple $189. The couple separated in 2002, and divorced in 2003. The reverend at the Little Chapel of the West said at the time of their wedding:
“Personally I don't think they had really planned it out for long, I think it was a spur of the moment deal but I'm not sure, I didn't ask ‘oh what made you decide to get married?’ It was my job to marry them.”
In 2011, Jolie told 60 Minutes that she was inspired to become a funeral director due to a deeply scarring family death and how the funeral was handled. “I thought I could do better, so I got a home course when I was about 14. It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral. If this whole acting thing didn’t work out that was going to be my path.”
Jolie’s uncle and Jon’s Voight’s brother, James Wesley Voight (whose stage name is Chip Taylor), is a respected songwriter. He also wrote “Angel of the Morning.”
Back in 2009, O’Donnell told Howard Stern that she thought there was something forming between her and Jolie. "She gave me her phone number," Rosie said. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through."
Jolie had just married Billy Bob Thornton and it was no secret that she identified as bisexual, but there’s no proof that Jolie felt the same way about O’Donnell. Regardless, O’Donnell says nothing got off the ground because she (O’Donnell) was intimidated. "I was a little afraid of her," she said. "She's scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still." So does the rest of America, Rosie.
