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.”

I don’t see a lot of new movies, and never go to the theater. But I greatly enjoy a good movie. It can give new perspectives and ideas.

I saw this recently, and thought it was wonderfully done and very thoughtful:
