5 In the media
Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to William Alvin Pitt, the proprietor of a trucking company, and Jane Etta (née Hillhouse), a school counsellor.[2][3] The family soon moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he lived together with his younger siblings, Douglas Mitchell (born 1966) and Julie Neal (born 1969).[4] Born into a conservative household,[5] he was raised as Southern Baptist but has since stated that he does not "have a great relationship with religion" and that he "oscillate[s] between agnosticism and atheism".[6] Pitt has described Springfield as "Mark Twain country, Jesse James country", having grown up with "a lot of hills, a lot of lakes".[7]
Pitt attended Kickapoo High School, where he was a member of the golf, swimming and tennis teams.[8] He participated in the school's Key and Forensics clubs, in school debates, and in musicals.[9] Following his graduation from high school, Pitt enrolled in the University of Missouri in 1982, majoring in journalism with a focus on advertising.[10] As graduation approached, Pitt did not feel ready to settle down. He loved films—"a portal into different worlds for me"—and, since films were not made in Missouri, he decided to go to where they were made.[11][12] Two weeks short of completing the coursework for a degree, Pitt left the university and moved to Los Angeles, where he took acting lessons and worked odd jobs.[11] He has named his early acting heroes as Gary Oldman, Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke.[13]
1987–1993: Early work
Pitt with Andrew Lauer, roommates after college
While struggling to establish himself in Los Angeles, Pitt took lessons from acting coach Roy London.[9][14] Pitt's acting career began in 1987, with uncredited parts in the films No Way Out (1987), No Man's Land (1987) and Less Than Zero (1987).[9][15] In May 1987, his television debut came with a two-episode role on the NBC soap opera Another World.[16] In November of the same year, Pitt had a guest appearance on the ABC sitcom Growing Pains.[17] He appeared in four episodes of the CBS primetime series Dallas between December 1987 and February 1988 as Randy, the boyfriend of Charlie Wade (played by Shalane McCall).[18] Later in 1988, Pitt made a guest appearance on the Fox police drama 21 Jump Street.[19] In the same year, the Yugoslavian–U.S. co-production The Dark Side of the Sun (1988) gave Pitt his first leading film role, as a young American taken by his family to the Adriatic to find a remedy for a skin condition. The film was shelved at the outbreak of the Croatian War of Independence, and was not released until 1997.[9] Pitt made two motion picture appearances in 1989: the first in a supporting role in the comedy Happy Together; the second a featured role in the horror film Cutting Class, the first of Pitt's films to reach theaters.[17] He made guest appearances on television series Head of the Class, Freddy's Nightmares, Thirtysomething, and (for a second time) Growing Pains.[20]
Pitt was cast as Billy Canton, a drug addict who takes advantage of a young runaway (played by Juliette Lewis) in the 1990 NBC television movie Too Young to Die?, the story of an abused teenager sentenced to death for a murder. Ken Tucker, television reviewer for Entertainment Weekly wrote: "Pitt is a magnificent slimeball as her hoody boyfriend; looking and sounding like a malevolent John Cougar Mellencamp, he's really scary."[21] The same year, Pitt co-starred in six episodes of the short-lived Fox drama Glory Days and took a supporting role in the HBO television film The Image.[22] His next appearance came in the 1991 film Across the Tracks; Pitt portrayed Joe Maloney, a high school runner with a criminal brother, played by Rick Schroder.[23] After years of supporting roles in film and frequent television guest appearances, Pitt attracted wider recognition in his supporting role in Ridley Scott's 1991 road film Thelma & Louise.[22] He played J.D., a small-time criminal who befriends Thelma (Geena Davis). His love scene with Davis has been cited as the event that defined Pitt as a sex symbol.[17][24] After Thelma & Louise, Pitt starred in the 1991 film Johnny Suede, a low-budget picture about an aspiring rock star,[25] and the 1992 live-action/animated fantasy film Cool World,[17] although neither furthered his career, having poor reviews and box office performance.[26][27]
Pitt took the role of Paul Maclean in the 1992 biographical film A River Runs Through It, directed by Robert Redford.[28] His portrayal of the character was described by People's Janet Mock as a career-making performance,[29] proving that Pitt could be more than a "cowboy-hatted hunk."[30] He has admitted to feeling under pressure when making the film[4] and thought it one of his "weakest performances ... It's so weird that it ended up being the one that I got the most attention for."[4] Pitt believed that he benefited from working with such a talented cast and crew. He compared working with Redford to playing tennis with a superior player, saying "when you play with somebody better than you, your game gets better."[29][30] In 1993, Pitt reunited with Juliette Lewis for the road film Kalifornia. He played Early Grayce, a serial killer and the boyfriend of Lewis's character in a performance described by Peter Travers of Rolling Stone as "outstanding, all boyish charm and then a snort that exudes pure menace."[31] Pitt also garnered attention for a brief appearance in the cult hit True Romance as a stoner named Floyd, providing much needed comic relief to the action film.[32] He capped the year by winning a ShoWest Award for Male Star of Tomorrow.[33]
1994–1998: Breakthrough
Pitt at the 2007 Palm Springs International Film Festival
1994 marked a significant turning point in Pitt's career. Starring as the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac in the horror film Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, based on Anne Rice's 1976 novel of the same name,[34] he was part of an ensemble cast that included Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, Christian Slater, and Antonio Banderas.[34] Despite his winning two MTV Movie Awards at the 1995 ceremony,[35] his performance was poorly received. According to the Dallas Observer, "Brad Pitt [...] is a large part of the problem [in the film]. When directors play up his cocky, hunkish, folksy side [...] he's a joy to watch. But there's nothing about him that suggests inner torment or even self-awareness, which makes him a boring Louis."[36] Following the release of Interview with the Vampire, Pitt starred in Legends of the Fall (1994),[37] based on a novel by the same name by Jim Harrison, set in the American West during the first four decades of the twentieth century. Portraying Tristan Ludlow, son of Colonel William Ludlow (Anthony Hopkins) a Cornish immigrant,[38] Pitt received his first Golden Globe Award nomination, in the Best Actor category.[39] Aidan Quinn and Henry Thomas co-starred as Pitt's brothers. Although the film's reception was mixed,[40] many film critics praised Pitt's performance. Janet Maslin of The New York Times said, "Pitt's diffident mix of acting and attitude works to such heartthrob perfection it's a shame the film's superficiality gets in his way."[41] The Deseret News predicted that Legends of the Fall would solidify Pitt's reputation as a lead actor.[42]
In 1995, Pitt starred alongside Morgan Freeman and Gwyneth Paltrow in the crime thriller Seven, playing a detective on the trail of a serial killer.[43] Pitt called it a great movie and declared the part would expand his acting horizons.[44] He expressed his intent to move on from "this 'pretty boy' thing [...] and play someone with flaws."[45] His performance was critically well received, with Variety saying that it was screen acting at its best, further remarking on Pitt's ability to turn in a "determined, energetic, creditable job" as the detective.[46] Seven earned $327 million at the international box office.[26] Following the success of Seven, Pitt took a supporting role as Jeffrey Goines in Terry Gilliam's 1995 science-fiction film 12 Monkeys. The movie received predominantly positive reviews, with Pitt praised in particular. Janet Maslin of the New York Times called Twelve Monkeys "fierce and disturbing" and remarked on Pitt's "startlingly frenzied performance", concluding that he "electrifies Jeffrey with a weird magnetism that becomes important later in the film."[47] He won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film[39] and received his first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.[48]
The following year he had a role in the legal drama Sleepers (1996), based on Lorenzo Carcaterra's novel of the same name.[49] The film received mixed reviews.[50] In the 1997 film The Devil's Own Pitt starred, opposite Harrison Ford, as the Irish Republican Army terrorist Rory Devany,[51] a role for which he was required to learn an Irish accent.[52] Critical opinion was divided on his accent; "Pitt finds the right tone of moral ambiguity, but at times his Irish brogue is too convincing – it's hard to understand what he's saying", wrote the San Francisco Chronicle.[53] The Charleston Gazette opined that it had favored Pitt's accent over the movie.[54] The Devil's Own grossed $140 million worldwide,[26] but was a critical failure. Later that year he led as Austrian mountaineer Heinrich Harrer in the Jean-Jacques Annaud film Seven Years in Tibet.[55] Pitt trained for months for the role, which demanded significant mountain climbing and trekking practice, including rock climbing in California and the European Alps with his co-star David Thewlis.[56] The film received mostly negative reviews, and was generally considered a disappointment.[57] Pitt had the lead role in 1998's fantasy romance film Meet Joe Black. He portrayed a personification of death inhabiting the body of a young man to learn what it is like to be human.[58] The film received mixed reviews, and many were critical of Pitt's performance. According to Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle, Pitt was unable to "make an audience believe that he knows all the mysteries of death and eternity."[59] Roger Ebert stated "Pitt is a fine actor, but this performance is a miscalculation."[60]
In 1999, Pitt portrayed Tyler Durden in Fight Club,[61][62] a film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same name, directed by David Fincher.[63] Pitt prepared for the part with lessons in boxing, taekwondo, and grappling.[64] To look the part, Pitt consented to the removal of pieces of his front teeth which were restored when filming ended.[65] While promoting Fight Club, Pitt said that the film explored not taking one's aggressions out on someone else but to "have an experience, take a punch more and see how you come out on the other end."[66] Fight Club premiered at the 1999 Venice International Film Festival.[67] Despite divided critical opinion on the film as a whole,[68][69] Pitt's performance was widely praised. Paul Clinton of CNN noted the risky yet successful nature of the film,[70] while Variety remarked upon Pitt's ability to be "cool, charismatic and more dynamically physical, perhaps than [...] his breakthrough role in Thelma and Louise".[71] In spite of a worse-than-expected box office performance, Fight Club became a cult classic after its DVD release in 2000.[72]
Pitt in December 2001
Pitt was cast as an Irish Gypsy boxer with a barely intelligible accent in Guy Ritchie's 2000 gangster film Snatch.[73] Several reviewers were critical of Snatch; however, most praised Pitt.[74] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said Pitt was "ideally cast as an Irishman whose accent is so thick even Brits can't understand him", going on to say that, before Snatch, Pitt had been "shackled by roles that called for brooding introspection, but recently he has found his calling in black comic outrageousness and flashy extroversion;"[75] while Amy Taubin of The Village Voice claimed that "Pitt gets maximum comic mileage out of a one-joke role".[76] The following year Pitt starred opposite Julia Roberts in the romantic comedy The Mexican,[77] a film that garnered a range of reviews[78] but enjoyed box office success.[26] Pitt's next role, in 2001's $143 million-grossing Cold War thriller Spy Game,[26] was as Tom Bishop, an operative of the CIA's Special Activities Division, mentored by Robert Redford's character.[79] Mark Holcomb of Salon.com enjoyed the film, although he noted that neither Pitt nor Redford provided "much of an emotional connection for the audience".[80]
On November 22, 2001, Pitt made a guest appearance in the eighth season of the television series Friends, playing a man with a grudge against Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston, to whom Pitt was married at the time.[81] For this performance he was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.[82] In December 2001, Pitt played Rusty Ryan in the heist film Ocean's Eleven, a remake of the 1960 Rat Pack original. He joined an ensemble cast including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy García, and Julia Roberts.[83] Well received by critics, Ocean's Eleven was highly successful at the box office, earning $450 million worldwide.[26] Pitt appeared in two episodes of MTV's reality series Jackass in February 2002, first running through the streets of Los Angeles with several cast members in gorilla suits,[84] and participating in his own staged abduction in another episode.[85] In the same year, Pitt had a cameo role in George Clooney's directorial debut Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.[86] He took on his first voice-acting roles in 2003, speaking as the titular character of the DreamWorks animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas[87] and playing Boomhauer's brother, Patch, in an episode of the animated television series King of the Hill.[88]
Pitt had two major film roles in 2004, starring as Achilles in Troy, and reprising his role, Rusty Ryan, in the sequel Ocean's Twelve. He spent six months sword training before the filming of Troy, based on the Iliad.[89] An on-set injury to his Achilles tendon delayed production on the picture for several weeks.[90] Stephen Hunter of The Washington Times stated that Pitt excelled at such a demanding role.[91] Troy was the first film produced by Plan B Entertainment, a film production company he had founded two years earlier with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Grey, CEO of Paramount Pictures.[92] Ocean's Twelve earned $362 million worldwide,[26] and Pitt and Clooney's dynamic was described by CNN's Paul Clinton as "the best male chemistry since Paul Newman and Robert Redford."[93] In 2005, Pitt starred in the Doug Liman-directed action comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, in which a bored married couple discover that each is an assassin sent to kill the other. The feature received reasonable reviews but was generally lauded for the chemistry between Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who played his character's wife Jane Smith. The Star Tribune noted that "while the story feels haphazard, the movie gets by on gregarious charm, galloping energy and the stars' thermonuclear screen chemistry".[94] Mr. & Mrs. Smith earned $478 million worldwide, making it one of the biggest hits of 2005.[95]
Pitt at the Burn After Reading premiere in August 2008
For his next film, Pitt starred opposite Cate Blanchett in Alejandro González Iñárritu's multi-narrative drama Babel (2006).[96] Pitt's performance was critically well-received, and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said that he was credible and gave the film visibility.[97] Pitt later said he regarded taking the part as one of the best decisions of his career.[98] The film was screened at a special presentation at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival[99] and was later featured at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival.[100] Babel received seven Academy and Golden Globe award nominations, winning the Best Drama Golden Globe, and earned Pitt a nomination for the Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe.[39] That same year, Pitt's company Plan B Entertainment produced The Departed, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Pitt was credited on-screen as a producer; however, only Graham King was ruled eligible for the Oscar win.[101]
Reprising his role as Rusty Ryan in a third picture, Pitt starred in 2007's Ocean's Thirteen.[102] While less lucrative than the first two films, this sequel earned $311 million at the international box office.[26] Pitt's next film role was as American outlaw Jesse James in the 2007 Western drama The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, adapted from Ron Hansen's 1983 novel of the same name.[103] Directed by Andrew Dominik and produced by Pitt's company Plan B Entertainment, the film premiered at the 2007 Venice Film Festival,[104] with Pitt playing a "scary and charismatic" role, according to Lewis Beale of Film Journal International,[105] and earning Pitt the Volpi Cup award for Best Actor at the 64th Venice International Film Festival.[106] He eventually collected the award one year later at the 2008 festival.[107] It is his favourite film.[108]
Pitt's next appearance was in the 2008 black comedy Burn After Reading, his first collaboration with the Coen brothers. The film received a positive reception from critics, with The Guardian calling it "a tightly wound, slickly plotted spy comedy",[109] noting that Pitt's performance was one of the funniest.[109] He was later cast as Benjamin Button, the lead in David Fincher's 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a loosely adapted version of a 1921 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story follows a man who is born an octogenarian and ages in reverse,[110] with Pitt's "sensitive" performance making Benjamin Button a "timeless masterpiece", according to Michael Sragow of The Baltimore Sun.[111] The performance earned Pitt his first Screen Actors Guild Award nomination,[112] as well as a fourth Golden Globe and second Academy Award nomination,[39][113] all in the category for Best Actor. The film received thirteen Academy Award nominations in total, and grossed $329 million at the box office worldwide.[26]
Pitt at the 65th British Academy Film Awards in 2012.
Pitt's next leading role came in 2009 with the Quentin Tarantino-directed war film Inglourious Basterds, which premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.[114] Pitt played Lieutenant Aldo Raine, an American resistance fighter battling Nazis in German-occupied France.[115] The film was a box office hit, taking $311 million worldwide,[26] and garnered generally favorable reviews.[116] The film received multiple awards and nominations, including eight Academy Award nominations and seven MTV Movie Award nominations, including Best Male Performance for Pitt.[117][118] He next voiced the superhero character Metro Man in the 2010 animated feature Megamind.[119] Pitt produced and appeared in Terrence Malick's experimental drama The Tree of Life, co-starring Sean Penn, which won the Palme d'Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.[120] In a performance that attracted strong praise, he portrayed the Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane in the drama Moneyball, which is based on the 2003 book of the same name written by Michael Lewis.[121] Moneyball received six Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Actor for Pitt.[122]
His next role was as mob hitman Jackie Cogan in Andrew Dominik's 2012 Killing Them Softly, based on the novel Cogan's Trade by George V. Higgins.[123] In 2013, Pitt starred in World War Z, a thriller about a zombie apocalypse, based on Max Brooks's novel of the same name. Pitt also produced the film.[124] World War Z grossed $540 million at the box office worldwide,[26] becoming Pitt's highest grossing picture.[125] Next in 2013, he produced, and played a small role in, 12 Years a Slave, a historical drama based on the autobiography of Solomon Northup.[126] The film received critical acclaim[127] and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning three, including Best Picture.[128] Also in 2013, Pitt had a supporting role in Ridley Scott's The Counselor.[129] Plan B Entertainment landed its first television series on the 2013–2014 schedule, as their joint venture with ABC Studios, the sci-fi/fantasy drama Resurrection, was picked up by ABC.[130]
Pitt at the premiere of War Machine in Japan in May 2017
Pitt starred in Fury, a World War II film directed and written by David Ayer, and co-starring Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal and Michael Peña.[131][132][133] The film was released on October 17, 2014.[131] By the end of its run, Fury proved to be a commercial and critical success; it grossed more than $211 million worldwide[26] and received highly positive reviews from critics.[134] In 2015, Pitt starred opposite his wife, Jolie, in her third directorial effort, By the Sea, a romantic drama about a marriage in crisis, based on her screenplay. The film was their first collaboration since 2005's Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Pitt's next role came with the biographical comedy-drama The Big Short, which he also produced. The film was a commercial and critical success. It went on to gross over $102 million worldwide[135] and received positive reviews from critics.[136][137] The film was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, earning Pitt his third Academy Award nomination as producer. In 2016, Pitt starred in Robert Zemeckis's romantic thriller Allied, in which he plays a spy assassin who falls in love with a French spy (played by Marion Cotillard) during a mission to kill a German official in World War II.[138][139] In 2017, he starred in the Netflix satirical war comedy War Machine,[140] which he also produced.[141] Pitt played a recurring role as a weatherman on the late-night talk show The Jim Jefferies Show throughout 2017.[142]
In 2016 it was announced that Pitt will star in the upcoming sequel to World War Z,[143] with official release date set as June 9, 2017.[144] However, in early 2017, the release date was announced to be indefinitely delayed.[145] In June, David Fincher was confirmed to direct the World War Z sequel,[146] marking Pitt and Fincher's fourth collaboration. Next, Pitt will star in James Gray's deep space epic Ad Astra, in which he will play the slightly autistic space engineer Roy McBride who searches across the galaxy for his father, played by Tommy Lee Jones.[147] In February 2018, it was announced that Pitt will star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio as Cliff Booth, a stunt double, in Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood about the Manson Family murders.[148]
Humanitarian and political causes
Pitt visited the University of Missouri campus in October 2004 to encourage students to vote in the 2004 U.S. presidential election,[149] in which he supported John Kerry.[149][150] Later in October he publicly supported the principle of public funding for embryonic stem-cell research. "We have to make sure that we open up these avenues so that our best and our brightest can go find these cures that they believe they will find", he said.[151] In support of this he endorsed Proposition 71, a California ballot initiative intended to provide state government funding for stem-cell research.[152]
Pitt at the "Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict", June 2014
Pitt supports the ONE Campaign, an organization aimed at combating AIDS and poverty in the developing world.[153][154] He narrated the 2005 PBS public television series Rx for Survival: A Global Health Challenge, which discusses current global health issues.[155] The following year Pitt and Jolie flew to Haiti, where they visited a school supported by Yéle Haïti, a charity founded by Haitian-born hip hop musician Wyclef Jean.[156] In May 2007, Pitt and Jolie donated $1 million to three organizations in Chad and Sudan dedicated to those affected by the crisis in the Darfur region.[157] Along with Clooney, Damon, Don Cheadle, David Pressman, and Jerry Weintraub, Pitt is one of the founders of Not On Our Watch, an organization that focuses global attention on stopping "mass atrocities".[158]
Pitt has a sustained interest in architecture,[159] even taking time away from film to study computer-aided design at the Los Angeles offices of renowned architect Frank Gehry.[160] He narrated Design e2, a PBS television series focused on worldwide efforts to build environmentally friendly structures through sustainable architecture and design.[161] In 2000, he co-authored an architectural book on the Blacker House with the architects Thomas A. Heinz and Randell Makinson.[162] In 2006, he founded the Make It Right Foundation, organizing housing professionals in New Orleans to finance and construct 150 sustainable, affordable new houses in New Orleans's Ninth Ward following the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.[163][164]
The project involves 13 architectural firms and the environmental organization Global Green USA, with several of the firms donating their services.[165][166] Pitt and philanthropist Steve Bing have each committed $5 million in donations.[167] The first six homes were completed in October 2008,[168] and in September 2009 Pitt received an award in recognition of the project from the U.S. Green Building Council, a non-profit trade organization that promotes sustainability in how buildings are designed, built and operated.[169][170] Pitt met with U.S. President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi in March 2009 to promote his concept of green housing as a national model and to discuss federal funding possibilities.[171]
In September 2006, Pitt and Jolie established a charitable organization, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, to aid humanitarian causes around the world.[172] The foundation made initial donations of $1 million each to Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders,[173] followed by an October 2006 donation of $100,000 to the Daniel Pearl Foundation, an organization created in memory of the late American journalist Daniel Pearl.[174] According to federal filings, Pitt and Jolie invested $8.5 million into the foundation in 2006; it gave away $2.4 million in 2006[175] and $3.4 million in 2007.[176] In June 2009 the Jolie-Pitt Foundation donated $1 million to a U.N. refugee agency to help Pakistanis displaced by fighting between troops and Taliban militants.[177] In January 2010 the foundation donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders for emergency medical assistance to help victims of the Haiti earthquake.[178][179]
Pitt is a supporter of same-sex marriage.[180] In an October 2006 interview with Esquire, Pitt said that he would marry Jolie when everyone in America is legally able to marry.[181] In September 2008, he donated $100,000 to the campaign against California's 2008 ballot proposition Proposition 8, an initiative to overturn the state Supreme Court decision that had legalized same-sex marriage.[182] In March 2012, Pitt was featured in a performance of Dustin Lance Black's play, '8' – a staged reenactment of the federal trial that overturned California's Prop 8 ban on same-sex marriage – as Judge Vaughn Walker.[183]
In September 2012, Pitt reaffirmed his support of President Obama, saying, "I am an Obama supporter and I'm backing his US election campaign."[184]
Angelina Jolie and Pitt at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Pitt was involved in successive relationships with several of his co-stars, including Robin Givens (Head of the Class),[185] Jill Schoelen (Cutting Class),[185] and Juliette Lewis (Too Young to Die? and Kalifornia).[29] In addition, Pitt had a much-publicized romance and engagement to his Seven co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow, whom he dated from 1994 to 1997.[185]
Pitt met Friends actress Jennifer Aniston in 1998 and married her in a private wedding ceremony in Malibu on July 29, 2000.[186] In January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced they had decided to separate. Two months later, Aniston filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.[187] Pitt and Aniston's divorce was finalized by the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 2, 2005.[187] Despite media reports that Pitt and Aniston had an acrimonious relationship, Pitt said in a February 2009 interview that he and Aniston "check in with each other", adding that they were both big parts of each other's lives.[188]
During Pitt's divorce proceedings, his involvement with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie attracted media attention. Jolie and Pitt stated that they "fell in love" on the set[189][190] and that there was no infidelity.[189] In April 2005, one month after Aniston filed for divorce, a set of paparazzi photographs emerged showing Pitt, Jolie, and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya; the press interpreted the pictures as evidence of a relationship between Pitt and Jolie. During 2005, the two were seen together with increasing frequency, and the entertainment media dubbed the couple "Brangelina".[191] On January 11, 2006, Jolie confirmed to People that she was pregnant with Pitt's child, thereby publicly acknowledging their relationship for the first time. Pitt and Jolie announced their engagement in April 2012 after seven years together.[192] They were married on August 23, 2014, in a private ceremony in Château Miraval, France.[193] On September 19, 2016, Jolie filed for divorce from Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences.[194] On April 12, 2019, the court restored Jolie and Pitt to single status.[195]

In July 2005, Pitt accompanied Jolie to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where she adopted her second child, Zahara Marley.[196][197] On December 3, 2005, Pitt was in the process of becoming the adoptive father of Zahara, and Jolie's first adopted child, Maddox Chivan.[198] On January 19, 2006, a California judge granted Jolie's request to change the children's surnames from "Jolie" to "Jolie-Pitt".[199] The adoptions were finalized soon after.[200]
Jolie gave birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel in Swakopmund, Namibia, on May 27, 2006. Pitt confirmed that their newborn daughter would qualify for a Namibian passport.[201] The couple sold the first pictures of Shiloh through the distributor Getty Images; the North American rights were purchased by People for over $4.1 million, while Hello! obtained the British rights for approximately $3.5 million. The proceeds from the sale were donated to charities serving African children.[202] Madame Tussauds in New York unveiled a wax figure of two-month-old Shiloh; it marked the first time an infant was recreated in wax by Madame Tussauds.[203]
On March 15, 2007, Jolie adopted three-year-old Pax Thien from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.[204] Pitt adopted Pax in the United States on February 21, 2008.[205]
At the Cannes Film Festival in May 2008, Jolie confirmed that she was expecting twins.[206] She gave birth to son Knox Léon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline on July 12, 2008 in Nice, France.[207] The rights for the first images of Knox and Vivienne were jointly sold to People and Hello! for $14 million—the most expensive celebrity pictures ever taken.[208][209] The couple donated the proceeds to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.[208][210]
Pitt interviewed by the news media at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in 2007
Pitt has been cited as physically attractive by many sources, including Empire, who named him one of the 25 sexiest stars in film history in 1995.[9][211][212] The same year, Pitt won People's Sexiest Man Alive, an accolade he won again in 2000.[211][213] Pitt appeared on Forbes's annual Celebrity 100 list of the 100 most powerful celebrities in 2006, 2007, and 2008, at No. 20, No. 5, and No. 10 respectively.[214][215][216] In 2007, he was listed among the Time 100, a compilation of the 100 most influential people in the world, as selected annually by TIME.[217] The magazine credited Pitt with using "his star power to get people to look [to where] cameras don't usually catch".[217] Pitt was again included in the Time 100 in 2009, this time in the Builders and Titans list.[218]
Starting in 2005, Pitt's relationship with Angelina Jolie became one of the most reported celebrity stories worldwide. After confirming that Jolie was pregnant in early 2006, the significant media hype surrounding the couple reached what Reuters, in a story titled "The Brangelina fever," called "the point of insanity".[219] To avoid media attention, the couple flew to Namibia for the birth of their daughter Shiloh, which was described by a paparazzi blog as "the most anticipated baby since Jesus Christ."[220] Similarly, intense media interest greeted the announcement two years later of Jolie's second pregnancy; for the two weeks Jolie spent in a seaside hospital in Nice, reporters and photographers camped outside on the promenade to report on the birth.[221]
In a 2006 global industry survey by ACNielsen in 42 international markets, Pitt, together with Jolie, was found to be the favorite celebrity endorser for brands and products worldwide.[222] Pitt has appeared in several television commercials. For the U.S. market, he starred in a Heineken commercial aired during the 2005 Super Bowl; it was directed by David Fincher, who had directed Pitt in Seven, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.[223] Other commercial appearances came in television spots including Acura Integra, in which he was featured opposite Russian model Tatiana Sorokko,[224] as well as SoftBank, and Edwin Jeans.[225] On June 2, 2015, the minor planet 29132 Bradpitt was named in his honor.[226]

When your loved ones grow old.
You just never know where they will come from.
The whole world knew what was going on in Ballard, Washington: Developers were building a giant shopping mall, but a house belonging to an elderly woman named Edith Macefield was in the way. They offered her a million dollars. She told them to take a hike.
The whole world knew that Barry Martin, the head of the construction project, was involved in the push to get her out of the house.
The whole world was wrong.
When Edith Wilson Macefield called Barry Martin to ask him to drive her to a hair appointment, it was the beginning of what is perhaps one of the most unlikely and inspiring friendships you will ever read about. And for the first time, the true story of what went on in that little house – and the incredible extent of Barry's sacrifice -- is revealed.
As the secrets of Edith's past begin to surface –was she really once a spy in Nazi Germany? Did she really teach Mickey Rooney to dance? – Barry becomes more intrigued. And as Edith's health begins to fail, their lives become more and more entwined. And soon, the lessons Barry learns from caring for Edith are put to the test -- in a way he never expected.
The story of Barry and Edith is a tale of balance and compassion, of giving enough without giving too much, of helping our elderly loved ones through the tough times without taking away their dignity. In the end, it is a tale of grace; and one from which everyone with aging parents can take solace and strength. From Barry and Edith we have much to learn about love and letting go -- and, just possibly, about seeing through fading light to find great joy.
Barry Martin has supervised construction projects all of his life, following in the footsteps of his father; and is a great lover of hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors, a love he inherited from his father as well. He is a native of Seattle, where he lives with his wife, two children, and new grandchild.

Q: Proof check of sum of a compact and closed set of real numbers is closed Let $A$ be a closed and $B$ be a closed and bounded set in $\mathbb R$ , then  we have to show that $A+B:=\{a+b:a\in A , b\in B \}$ is closed in $\mathbb R$ .
My Proof : Let $\{a_n+b_n\}$ be a convergent sequence in $A+B$ , where $\{a_n\}\in A , \{b_n\}\in B$ , with limit $x$ , we have to show that $x \in A+B$ . Since $B$ is closed-bounded , there is a subsequence $\{b_{r_n}\}$ of $\{b_n\}$ such that $\{b_{r_n}\}$ converges with $\lim \{b_{r_n}\}=l$ (say) ; then since $B$ is closed , $l\in B$. Also $\lim \{a_{r_n}+b_{r_n}\}=x$ , thus $\lim \{a_{r_n}\}=x-l$ , and since $A$ is closed , so $x-l \in A$ , thus $x=(x-l)+l \in A+B$ . Am I correct ?

A: In the above proof, things become easy if we take $z_n=a_n+b_n \in A+B $ . Let $\lim z_n=z \in \mathbb{R}$   Since $B$ is compact, $(b_n)$ has a convergent subsequence, let's say $(b_{n_r})$. Let $\lim b_{n_r} = l \in B $ . So $ a_{n_r}=z_{n_r}-b_{n_r} $. So $(a_{n_r})$ is also convergent and let $\lim a_{n_r}=m .$  As $A$ is closed, $m\in A$ . So $z=m+l \in A+B $  which completes the proof.

A: Let $(a_n)_n$ be a sequence in $A$ and let $(b_n)_n$ be a sequence in $B$ such that $a_n+b_n=c+d_n$ where $\lim_{n\to \infty}d_n=0.$ Then $(d_n)_n$ is bounded. And $(b_n)_n$ is bounded, as $B$ is bounded. So $(a_n)_n=(c+d_n-b_n)_n$ is bounded. So, as $A$ is closed, there exists a closed bounded $A^*\subset A$ such that $A^*\supset Cl(\{a_n\}_n).$
The function $f(x,y)=x+y$ is continuous from $\mathbb R^2$ to $\mathbb R$, and $A^*\times B$ is compact, so $f(A^*\times B)$ is compact, so $f(A^*\times B)$ is closed. We have $$c\in Cl(\{a_n+b_n\}_n)\subset Cl(f(A^*\times B))=f(A^*\times B)\subset f(A\times B)=A+B.$$
Notation: $(a_n)_n$ is the sequence $(a_n)_{n\in  \mathbb N},$ and $\{a_n\}_n=\{a_n: n\in \mathbb N\}.$

Castaways premieres August 7th on ABC.
Does the world need more reality competition shows? I mean, at some point hasn't it become monotonous to tweak just subtle parts of the overall plot and create a television show? Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is also the case for ABC's next reality competition series called Castaways.
Castaways takes 12 strangers and places them on islands throughout the South Pacific while they wait to find one another and/or be rescued. This is a sort of Survivor/Lost combination but trust me, it is not even close to how we might have felt for most of Lost. The series premiere introduces some of the individuals aka castaways as they try to make sense of their new surroundings, and who may or may not have their belongings with them. While abandoned on the islands, their goal is to survive for as long as they can and seek out other castaways in the process in hopes of surviving long enough so they can be rescued.
The premise of the show is to test a human's limits when they don't have others around and to illustrate how vital companionship is in these extreme circumstances. The only part of the series premiere I did enjoy was the moments where there would be flashbacks to each's past. We got to see who they are, why they are, and perhaps what motivated them to participate in this competition in the first place. Many are running away from their fears, rejection, or difficult lives and trying to find meaning by doing this competition. I think this aspect is an interesting notion, but the premiere overall did not in the least bit have me excited to continue watching this series after it airs.
The series is trying way too hard to set itself apart from other shows like it, but at this point, I think that's pretty much impossible. Every version of a reality competition has been done since Survivor first kickstarted this genre years ago. I can relate to why contestants wanted to do it, but I don't understand this show's purpose otherwise. The series premiere is extremely slow (naturally) and doesn't possess any allure to it because again, it's a repeated genre that most of us are extremely over. My opinion? A hard pass.
I give Castaways a D.

Q: - I'm unable to click a button Been trying to  get this to work for a couple of hours now.
its my first real python project so yeh, Would love some help.
HTML
<input type="button" id="lyca_cart_newsim_button1" value="FORTSÆT" class="et_pb_more_button et_pb_button lyca_cart_topup_summary" onclick="nc_newsim_open_tab2('payment','sid','tid')">

xpath
//*[@id='lyca_cart_newsim_button1']

This produces error element "not interactable"
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='lyca_cart_newsim_button1']").click()

This produces no errors but does not click the button
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='lyca_cart_newsim_button1']")

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

This times out
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable

First one give element not interactable
and the second one gives no errors.
I am using this at a earlier point in the code and its working fine there,
element = driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='lyca_cart_newsim_button1']")
driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

A: I've never had good luck using the expected conditions from selenium especially waiting for an element to be clickable.  What I've done whether or not it's best, but it has worked is to have a loop attempt to click and to keep trying within a certain amount of time.  Here is what I use in C#:
int timeToTryMilliseconds = 5000;
bool timeNotExpired = true;
Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();

while (timeNotExpired)
     {
          try
               {
                   driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[@id='lyca_cart_newsim_button1']").click()
                   break;
               }
          catch
               {
                    // Half second wait, so it's not polling constantly
                    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);
                    timeNotExpired = timeToTryMilliseconds > sw.ElapsedMilliseconds;
               }
     }

If there is a better way, I'd love to use it.

A: Please confirm either the button is in iframe tag. if it is in iframe you must to switch to iframe
if it is not in iframe then try using below code it might work
driver.execute_script("$('#lyca_cart_newsim_button1').click()");

Monstertrack is an alleycat race started by a New York City bike messenger,  "Snake", in the year 2000.  It is a race specifically for brakeless, fixed-gear bicycles.  It has gradually grown in size because of the surging popularity of track bikes. Carlos "Diablo" and Victor "Freeway" work as bike messengers, race organizers, and alleycat racers.  The two made the alleycat scene in New York more popular by extensively using the internet to spread the word about bike racing in New York and now Monstertrack is billed as the second largest alleycat in the nation, attracting racers from all over the US, Europe and Japan .

Cancellation of 2008 Monstertrack
Following the death of Matt Manger-Lynch, killed while participating in an alleycat in Chicago, the organizers of Monstertrack announced that the alleycat, scheduled as part of the Monstertrack event, had been cancelled.  In their statement the organisers said:

One of the most annoying things about being a young critic – or just any young person who likes to talk about movies – is the pressure to pretend like you've already seen every great film ever made. Some of that is a purely self-imposed anxiety about sounding knowledgeable enough to justify your opinions, but mostly it's the fairly explicit comments like "What!? How have you not seen X!?" or "Come back to me when you've watched Y, then maybe you'll know what you're talking about".
But no one, not even Edgar Wright or Quentin Tarantino, has seen every great film ever made, even when you leave aside that anywhere between 70% and 90% of films made before 1929 are lost. The last time anyone could conceivably watch ever film every made was the early 1930s, and more great films have probably gone unnoticed or forgotten than will ever be recognised. People have families and friends and interests and jobs and also just can't physically stare at screens for a long time with no breaks. Even if you could somehow make time to watch a film every day, not including new ones, it would take you years to make a dent in the canon of great American cinema, let alone every other country, let alone alternative, experimental and avant-garde film, let alone all the great movies that were dismissed on release and have yet to be rehabilitated by dorks like us.
You don't have to pretend to have seen all the "great" or "important" films to think, speak or write about movies. We sure haven't. You can find out our favourite new releases of the year when we post the Sundae Film Awards 2018 in March, but we're ending 2017 with a look back on the best films we saw this year that didn't come out this year.
These films are great, and you should watch them. But it's not a big deal if you don't.


The catch? AT&T is real keen to have you join its Next early-upgrade program.
Good news for AT&T fans with a giant family, a conglomerate of friends, or another means by which one signs up for a family plan with the carrier. The company announced today that it is debuting "best-ever prices" for its "Mobile Share Value" plan – a fancy way of saying "buckets of data shared among a group of individuals."
Here's how the savings will work, straight from AT&T: Anyone purchasing a Mobile Share Value plan will get 10GB of data to play with. Slap two smartphones on the plan and the monthly service cost works out to $130. Each additional smartphone added to the Mobile Share Value plan costs an addition $15 — thus, a family of three will pony up $145, four will dish out $160, and five will cough up $175. In addition to the data, members of the Mobile Share Value plan enjoy unlimited minutes for chatting and unlimited texts.
Here's a catch. If you're coming from another carrier – as in, you don't already have an agreement with AT&T for service, you have one of three options: Pay for a brand-new phone unsubsidized by AT&T; bring your own compatible phone to use on AT&T's network; or sign up for AT&T's early-upgrade program, Next, as part of the Mobile Share Value plan.
Doing the third option will add surcharges to your monthly bill as part of the "paying off your phone" aspect of AT&T's early-upgrade service, with the price determined by the exact kind of smartphone that you've elected to purchase.
As many have previously mentioned, these – and other early-upgrade plans – are a bit of a rip-off, in that one is already paying the carrier a subsidy for one's devices as part of the carrier's normal service fees. That, plus the Next fees, plus the fact that you have to give up your smartphone to AT&T in order to upgrade to a new one (thus invalidating your ability to sell it to a third party), makes signing up for Next a fairly unwelcome proposition — unless, as PCMag's Sascha Segan noted, you're using a smartphone that ends up being a complete clunker and rather worthless for resale.
According to The New York Times, existing AT&T customers looking of take advantage of the Mobile Share Value plan won't be forced to sign up for Next when they switch over. However, if they want to upgrade to a new device, they'll have to either buy unsubsidized or enroll in Next.
