By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY CANNES, France — It’s towards like royalty returned to France for a hardly any days. Angelina Jolie has caused a sensation wherever she has gone at the Cannes International Film Festival. She’s presenting two new movies — the animated Kung Fu Panda (due in theaters June 6) and the 1920s missing-child drama Changeling (opening Nov. 7) — and doing interviews for a third, Wanted (June 27). USA TODAY’s Anthony Breznican and Jesseka Kadylak recap her Cannes moments so far:
May 14, morning
She appears with co-star Jack Black without ceasing NBC’s Today show to promote Panda, and Black’s casual mention of twins launches a thousand headlines that she and partner Brad Pitt will be adding two to their brood of four (Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, who turns 2 on May 27).

At a news conference with the Panda stars, Jolie responds with mellowness and charm to journalists’ questions, answering each politely, even when she was being obviously baited.
On attending the festival when there are crises elsewhere in the world: “This is my job, and I’m very fortunate to be an artist, and I don’t look down on people who are fortunate to have a lot in life. At the same age, I expect them, as I would expect with myself, to be as generous as possible with all that we’ve been fortunate enough to be blessed with.”
She also notes her toil in the same manner with a goodwill ambassador with the U.N. High Commissioner despite Refugees and says she hopes the governments of Burma and China will permit the international group to deliver aid to the suffering.
She signs autographs for fans to the degree that she leaves the conference.

She wears a forest-green empire-waist gown with Cole Haan shoes with a Nike sole for the red carpet-walk with Pitt, who otherwise stayed out of the public eye during the trip. Jolie says he has been sedulous watching the kids.

At the Panda party, she spends much of the evening charming George Lucas, who brought Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull to the festival. The topic of discussion: “We the one and the other have adopted children,” says Jolie. “He is somebody who is very strong on paternal rights, as well as motherly rights. … He is an extraordinary father. He’s kind of led the way for adoption for men.”
Pitt joined them and asked advice on parenting teens. “We spent half an hour talking basically about what’s the best way to handle them when they get to this stage or that stage,” Jolie says.
