‘I went to visit Brad on the set while he was shooting Mr. and Mrs. Smith to discuss doing a story in regards to that movie. Brad wanted to create an idealistic view of an American family, such as what one would see in LIFE magazine. The setting was the 60s, right before the Kennedy assassination. This image depicts the conflicts and tension of that era. This was the beginning of Brad and Angelina’s relationship – it was very controversial that they were play acting as a family with many children. And as always with Brad, there were no publicists or managers. It was very intimate and turned out to be a very prophetic shoot.’
