Jolie’s  French-Canadian mother passed away in January 2007. The 33 year old actor is reported to have dedicated her performance in the film to her late mother while she made an emotional tribute to late actress Marcheline Bertrand.

“She was really sweet and was never angry – she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her, her story.  She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength through just knowing what was right”, Jolie said in the press meet today.

The actor also confirmed that she would be replacing Tom Cruise in Edwin A. Salt, a new spy thriller and has completely denied the claims of her retirement from acting.  Jolie, who has 6 children with Brad Pitt has also added, “I’m not making some retirement announcement. I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time. I just feel privileged that I get to be home a lot. But maybe eventually I’ll stop acting”.
