Angelina Jolie Set to Play Catwoman
“Lara Croft’ actress Angelina Jolie may soon be seen portraying the role of Catwoman in a future “Batman” movie.
74-year-old actress Julie Newmar who made the feline vixen famous on the 60s TV series Batman told the New York Daily News:
“My industry friends tell me [she] has made inquiries about the role. I can understand how it would pique her interest. Catwoman is Batman’s one true love. She’s tremendously popular with women because she’s both a heroine and a villainess. When you look at the staggering box office of this current film, which actress wouldn’t want to jump in?”
After Julie Newmar, the role has been essayed by actresses like Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Hally Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Angelina Jolie missed action movies
Angelina Jolie has revealed that she took a role in action movie ”Wanted” to take a break from serious films.
“I get to be foxy finally! I’ve been doing some serious films and I love them, and I’ll continue to do them, but every once in a while, I miss the action movie, said Jolie, who previously appeared in ”Tomb Raider” and ”Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”
“I miss playing and shooting things up. It was a lot of fun. I miss that stuff, you know. I love being a mum and I love being at home, but every once in a while, I like to do stunts.”
Jolie claimed that ”Wanted” appealed to her because it “doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a little more nutty and has a sense of humour about itself”.
