“This little girl came up to me and offered me some biscuits that she had in her pocket,” Jolie said. “Knowing what she’d come from, knowing what she was heading into, knowing everything she’d experienced, yet in that moment she wasn’t thinking of herself or everything she had lost. She wasn’t sitting with self pity. She just saw me—I must have looked tired and she just walked over and thought to just be kind. That’s what makes human beings so wonderful.”

I called Bloomingdale’s, and I told the woman I couldn’t get there. She said, ‘I’m going to get you those Spanx.’ She walked to my place on New York’s Upper West Side and left a note: ‘You feel like a caterpillar and you’re going to be a butterfly.’ This woman I didn’t even know. When you’re vulnerable and someone does something for you, it says everything."

When I returned to the apartment at the end of the day, there were hundreds of birthday cards waiting for me. My mum had called almost everyone I knew in the world and asked them to send me a card.

They put me up in a hotel around 1:00 a.m., and when I got there, I had the clothes I was wearing all day and nothing else — no toothbrush, no nothing, and I knew I was going to have to leave first thing in the morning to do press.The woman at the front desk said I could use the hotel washing machine … but when I hung up I realized, I don’t have any clothes to wear to go down and I think it is probably not a good idea to wear a towel to a basement of a hotel in a city that I don’t live in.So I called her back and said, ‘Thank you so much but I am not going to come down and get the detergent because I don’t have any clothes to wear.’ She called me back two minutes later and she said, ‘I will wash your clothes.’ I started crying and she said, ‘I am just going to be working the front desk all night long. I will wash your clothes. I will dry them. And I will have them waiting for you before your flight tomorrow.‘It was an act of kindness. And I woke up and opened my door and there was a little package with my clothes. Nicely folded. And when I walked out she said, ‘I got you, girl.’ I don’t even know her name!"
