In 2013, Angelina revealed that she underwent a preventative double mastectomy. After losing her own mother to ovarian and breast cancer, she discovered she carried the BRCA1 gene, greatly increasing her own risk of breast cancer.
Angelina revealed that she wore one of her late mother’s necklaces during the movie and it helped to ease her heightened emotions during the film. She said that she felt “very vulnerable” due to the topic being so close to her personal life.
The actress also revealed that it wasn’t just her late mother’s necklace that comforted her during filming. She told the publication that despite the heavy topic of the movie, she felt comfortable and connected to the rest of the cast and crew on set.
“But I have always found the heaviest films tend to have the most loving sets. There’s something quite comforting about having real conversations and having real feelings with a shared community. It was quite healing in many ways because you look at the other faces of the people on the set, because one in three people have cancer, and most everybody’s been in a hospital room with somebody they’ve loved. Everybody on set has lost someone they’ve loved,” Angelina revealed.
