Jon Voight mentions daughter Angelina Jolie [Matzorkis 1991]

del.icio.us

Nick Matzorkis' Hollywood Hills residence in 1991, Jon Voight mentions a discussion he had with his daughter Angelina Jolie when she stated a hesitation of bringing children into this world after learning of enviornmental threats to the planet, primarily global warming. Academy Award winners Jon Voight and Louis Gossett Jr were co-executive producers with Nick Matzorkis, Tom Wilson and Joey Talley to develop a series of environmentally friendly entertainment projects geared towards drawing attention to the threat of global warming. This was 15 years before An Inconvenient Truth won the Academy Award for Best Documentary of 2006. Credit must be given to Angelina Jolie, who as a teenager, concerned her father enough about the threats of global warming to prompt him to do what he could to draw attention to it. Good to both of them for trying to do the right thing years ahead of their time. Louis Gossett Jr also deserves credit for taking on such an early appreciation for threats of global warming and devoting his time to drawing others' attention to it.
