Angelina Jolie's success in Hollywood means she doesn't need a backup plan. But she had one once: to become funeral director.
"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," she said during an interview on 60 Minutes Sunday night. "How somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. If this whole acting thing didn't work out that was going to be my path." But it did work out, and now the Oscar winner is promoting her directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, which is set to be released in the U.S. on Dec. 23. In her interview with CBS's Bob Simon on 60 Minutes, Jolie, 36, spoke about various topics, including her dark past.
I always knew that Angelina and I were pretty similiar, ha, but why do people think being a funeral director is a really strange, eccentric, dark thing to do? I never thought that when going to school.

Shanna, I saw a bit of this the other night before Elliot woke up...I thought of you when they said this. funny.
Shan, I think what you do is absolutely one of the most important jobs out there, often overlooked. I have always respected you for choosing that path.
I also don't think it's "strange" or "dark." at all. In fact, I find it completely interesting.
