Meanwhile,
after
making
the
promotional
rounds in
2017
for First
They
Killed
My
Father,
the based-on-a-true-story
film she
directed
(and
Maddox
produced)
about
Khmer
Rouge
atrocities
in
Cambodia,
Jolie
took
a
more
extensive
break
from
work,
more
likely
to
be
spotted
at
Whole
Foods,
Toys
R
Us
or
Target
than
on
a
set.
“I
don’t
enjoy
being
single,”
Jolie told
London’s
Sunday Telegraph in
September
2017
during
her
press
tour. “It’s
not
something
I
wanted.
There’s
nothing
nice
about
it.
It’s
just
hard.”
“Sometimes
maybe
it
appears
I
am
pulling
it
all
together,
but
really
I
am
just
trying
to
get
through
my
days,”
she
continued. “Emotionally,
it’s
been
a
very
difficult
year
and
I
have
had
some
other
health
issues.
So
my
health
is
something
I
have
to
monitor.”
(She
told Vanity
Fair
she
had
a
bout
with
Bell’s
palsy,
which
caused
temporary
facial
paralysis, and
developed
hypertension
in
2016.)
She
returned
to
acting
in
2019’s
Maleficent:
Mistress
of
Evil,
which
made
almost
$492
million
worldwide,
and—after
starring
in
the
old-school
action
thriller
Those
Who
Wish
Me
Dead
and
Marvel’s The
Eternals—is
back
in
the
Oscar
conversation
(and
nominated
for
a
Golden
Globe)
for
her
portrayal
of
opera
legend
Maria
Callas
in
2024’s
Maria.
