Angelina Jolie: Audrey Hepburn 2.0

We think the exquisite legend Audrey Hepburn would be flattered to know that actress and U.N. Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie reveres her work. Who doesn’t?

But Angie has worked hard these many years to build the kind of legacy Audrey has left, one paved with good deeds that make people forget she used to carry a vial of blood around her neck.

Clearly, still not there yet! But almost, bb!

This morning, Santa Angeina spoke with Ann Curry on The Today Show, the poor thing, about the work she is doing and the influence Audrey’s humanitarian contributions have had on her.

“I’m lucky to be in this,” says the mother of many. “And I’m sure Audrey Hepburn felt the same.”

Angie went on to say that her crusade will be one she hopes her own children become a part of as well:

“There’s been refugees since the dawn of time. And I’m sure, you know, my children will be visiting and learning from refugees in the future.”

Good idea. Bring the kids back to their countries of origin and rub it in the faces of the other kids who weren’t lucky enough to have a famous celebrity adopt them.

We kid, we kid. You are doing nice things, jolly Jolie!
