Angelina Jolie 'Terrified' During Birth

In her first interview since arriving back in The United States, Angelina Jolie reveals that she was terrified giving birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt.

Finally after all the second hand news, we're hearing the story straight from the source, as People reports on the upcoming interview Angelina had with CNN's Anderson Cooper. In an excerpt from the interview, Jolie talks about her fear during the delivery, "You know, because you're there for the birth, which I wasn't for my first two kids, you're just suddenly terrified that they're not gonna take a first breath," adding, " That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry."

According to E Online, during the hour long interview, which airs Tuesday on Anderson Cooper 360, Angelina Jolie also discusses Brad Pitt and was quoted as saying, "He was in the operating room, yeah, yeah. And we had amazing doctors. And everybody was so lovely." On the topic of her charity work and the donations, which apparently are 1/3 of her income, the star had this to say, "Yeah, well, I had a stupid income for what I do."

The 30 year old activist who devotes much of her time to charity, Angelina Jolie is the star of such movies as Mr. And Mrs. Smith, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Alexander. Jolie has been in the public eye quite frequently as of late, following her pairing up with Brad Pitt after his divorce from Jennifer Aniston. Brad Pitt, 42, has been the star of such hits as Fight Club, Troy, Ocean's Twelve, and is set to star in the up-coming movie, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Angelina Jolie is the daughter of actor Jon Voight, who has starred in such hit films as Midnight Cowboy, Deliverance, Anaconda, Pope John Paul II, and most recently Disney's Glory Road, about legendary Texas Western basketball coach Don Haskins, where Voight played controversial Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp.

Angelina Jolie, the Academy Award winning actress who has acted in movies such as Girl, Interrupted, has also recently adopted two children. On March 10th, 2002, Angelina adopted her first child, Maddox Chivan Jolie, when he was 7 months old. Jolie met the child in a Cambodian orphanage while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Then, on July 5th, 2005, People magazine reported that Angelina Jolie was attempting to adopt an Ethiopian girl that had been orphaned, as her mother had died from AIDS. After a woman claiming to be the baby's mother was proven not to be, Jolie eventually gained custody of Zahara Marley Jolie. On January 19th, 2006, both of Angelina Jolie's babies were also adopted by Brad Pitt, giving the children the surname Jolie-Pitt.
