Angelina Jolie is opening up about portraying real-life role opera star Maria Callas in Pablo Larraín’s upcoming biographical drama, Maria.
Jolie spoke about the role while fielding questions from reporters during a press conference for the film at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday.
The film explores the end of Callas’ life in 1977 as she lives in Paris, struggling with substance abuse, the loss of her voice, and startling weight loss before her untimely death from a heart attack at 53.
