Oscar winner and top box office star – Clint Eastwood, 78 and director of ‘Changeling’, a period drama, talking to veteran movie journalist Lillian Ross at a Saturday Q&A sponsored by the New Yorker magazine at the Directors Guild of America stated, he finds Angelina Jolie, his leading lady to be extremely talented, but a talent that can be overlooked due to her having the most ‘gorgeous face on the planet’.

Describing Changeling as an adult horror story set in 1920s Los Angeles, Eastwood says it is a true story about a mother whose kidnapped son is returned, only the boy is not hers.  A story about what the Establishment puts a mother through. According to Eastwood, Jolie came thoroughly prepared for the part and had no difficulty in getting into the character in the movie.
