Vivienne attended multiple performances of “The Outsiders” at La Jolla Playhouse and couldn’t stop raving about the show to her mother. “She went to see ‘The Outsiders’ at La Jolla about five times and was telling me about it,” Angelina Jolie shared. “I had read the book and seen the film years ago.”
However, witnessing the material’s profound impact on her daughter at this stage of her life was a unique experience for Angelina Jolie. “It was a very different experience to understand how this is having a significant effect on her as a young person right now, and she’s communicating something to me,” the actress explained, highlighting the power of the material.
