Angelina Jolie Selling Historic L.A. Home for $30 Million After Saying She'd Leave City When Her Kids Turn 18
People ^ | May 5, 2026 | Colson Thayer

Angelina Jolie is saying goodbye to her Los Angeles abode.

The Oscar-winning actress has officially listed her California compound, formerly owned by filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille, for $29.85 million...

The home was first conceived by architect B. Cooper Corbett in 1913 and was later acquired by DeMille in 1916...

Jolie sparked rumors that she was considering leaving L.A. after an August 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter in which the actress and director said she is only there “because I have to be here from a divorce.”...

However, once her twins turn 18 on July 12, 2026, Jolie said she's ready to live abroad.

"When you have a big family, you want them to have privacy, peace, safety," she said at the time. "I have a house now to raise my children, but sometimes this place can be … that humanity that I found across the world is not what I grew up with here."

When she moves away from L.A., she noted, "I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia," which is where she adopted her oldest son Maddox in 2002. She added, "I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world.”

LOL.

Maybe she will move to Ireland with Rosie O’donnell, or maybe Russia, where she is known as “ Tora Titov.”

She was very beautiful until Hollywood got a hold of her.

Her daddy, John Voight, was kicked out and couldn’t protect her. She claims she was an abandoned child at the age of one and blames everything since then on her parents divorce. She went sideways thereafter.

She bought several children (adopted). In her favor, she has used her wealth in both Cambodia and Africa to buy land as wildlife preserves.

In the end, she’s just a hollywood kid who was abused early, became a star, and is surrounded by enablers.

Sad, her, probably more than anyone born in America has taken a detailed look at Communism, but is unable to understand that is EXACTLY what Trump is fighting. Must be something about the 19th Amendment.

It was ‘The Story of Dr. Wassell’.
“As the Japanese sweep through the East Indies during World War II, Dr. Wassell is determined to escape from Java with some crewmen of the cruiser Marblehead. Based on a true story of how Dr. Wassell saved a dozen or so wounded sailors who were left behind when able bodied men were evacuated to Australia.”

Not necessarily. There are some decent, honest people in Hollywood. (Jolie’s father seems to be one.)

Jeez, I thought she already had left the US. She’s not an airport, no need for her to announce her departure.

"She hates her father."


Well known.. but I was surprised to see the above picture of her hugging him, and smiling. Did she finally get a tiny bit of sense?

“There are some decent, honest people in Hollywood.”

***********

True but they are very few and the overwhelming number of leftist Hollywood elites do their best to silence them. The hypocrisy and phoniness of Hollywood’s sanctimonious culture is sickening.

“The Killing Fields” won 3 Academy Awards. Not exactly “completely ignored.”

True.

The Killing Fields (1984).

First They Killed My Father (2017). And that was an AJ passion project because of her adopted kids.

What else?

The S.E. Asian diaspora to the U.S. is amazingly neglected. If nothing else, I would think the U.S. emigre population is now large enough that filmmakers should look that way. The framing would probably include U.S. military and host families and communities in the U.S.

One of the Asian American actors, himself a refugee along with his parents, won an Oscar a couple of years ado — and gave the kind of tearful tribute to America speech that we used to hear from the Jewish emigres back in the day.

>>I like Cecil B. DeMille, he commissioned a book on my dad’s ship and then made an Oscar winning movie about the ship.

Sounds like you have a great story behind that sentence.

The Ship & Book: DeMille commissioned a serial story (which became a book) titled “Reap the Wild Wind” written by Thelma Strabel for The Saturday Evening Post in 1940, set in the 1840s and featuring salvaging ships.

The Oscar Movie: The film was released in 1942, produced and directed by DeMille. It starred Ray Milland, John Wayne, and Paulette Goddard.

The Award: Reap the Wild Wind was a massive success and won the Academy Award for Best Special Effects in 1943.

Reap the Wild Wind (1942) was one of DeMille’s major technicolor spectaculars.
