Jolie seemed delighted by the personal connection Bisset provided at the awards ceremony on January 3. 'It took many months of singing classes. Months of just getting the singing down and then the Italian classes and then the voice and doing all these things like her. You try to be precise,' she explained.
'It is such a thrill to be here with you tonight to present this award to Angelina Jolie, who just happens to be my goddaughter, and whose mother Marcheline was one of my dearest friends,' Bisset gushed 'I needed a lot of kind people around me to hold my hand,' Jolie explained, adding, 'We’ve all been with terrible people in our life, where it’s hard to do your work because you feel emotionally vulnerable and then you feel like it’s being used in the wrong way.'
Since their parents' bitter split, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne have all dropped Pitt as their last name.
