Jolie’s act was one of genuine bravery

TURNS out the sexiest woman in the world and I have something in common.

Two things actually. Angelina Jolie has revealed she recently underwent a bilateral mastectomy followed by reconstructive surgery.

In Jolie’s case, the procedure was prophylactic. Her mother succumbed to ovarian cancer in 2007 at age 56. Jolie herself has the BRCA1 genetic glitch, which put her odds of developing ovarian cancer at 50% and breast cancer at a dizzying 87%.
