While theLara Croft: Tomb Raiderstar produced the adaptation from S.E. Hinton’s 1967 coming-of-age novel, Vivienne worked as a producer’s assistant.
But while 92 countries celebrated Father’s Day over the weekend, Angelina and Vivienne’s appearance at the Tony Awards highlighted, yet again, the growing distance between Brad and his six children.

Since last month, Vivienne has notably been recognized as “Vivienne Jolie,”dropping “Pitt” from her last name.
On May 26, “Vivienne Jolie” was reportedly listed inThe Outsiders’playbill instead of “Vivienne Jolie-Pitt.”

Vivienne and Angelina showed just how close they were throughout the play’s journey, as the 49-year-old actress recalled in an interview withDeadlineon June 10: “My daughter Viv loves theater.
“She appreciates all theater but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to.
“She went to seeThe Outsidersat La Jolla about five times and was telling me about it, and I had read the book, and I’d seen the film years ago.

“So, really, as amother, as a person, I was watching it, but I was really watching the effect it was having on my young daughter and what she was telling me about herself, and I was learning what about it was important to her and why it connected so deeply to her.
“And then I had the privilege of watching everyone work over this last year to make it into what it is, and Vivienne has been there the whole way.”
Upon being asked how a 1960s book and 1980s movie resonated with her teen daughter, the Oscar winner replied: “Oh, it’s hard to speak for her, because she’s a complex young woman.”

“I think it’s just that it’s very deep, and it’s honest, and it doesn’t shy away from real feelings and real discussion and real pain, I think maybe every person that watches it might identify slightly more with one character or another, right, but what I think you see through it all is there is pain in life, right?
“There is fear. There is, ‘Who am I and where do I belong?’
“There is, ‘Why are these people marginalized and harmed more than others?’
“‘Why do these people kill themselves? What is it we’re facing in life?’

“I think a lot of young people, especially today, these are very difficult times, and they want to have that real discussion, and they want to know what helps you get through life.
“What’s the reality of it? Like, don’t sugarcoat things for teenagers, is what I learned from S. E. Hinton.
“Meet them where they’re at, and it’s heavy, and it’s real, and these are the biggest, most complex times as you form into a person and realize certain hard truths about life, and what gets you through.”
The apparent snub at the Tony’s follows a judge’srecent order requiring Angelina to disclose every NDA agreementshe has signed with third parties over eight years amid ongoing legal disputes with Brad.

The Hollywood stars’ hostile separation has prompted speculations regarding the actors’ children siding with their mom, as Vivienne isn’t the only sibling taking a public stance against her dad.
In November of last year, Zahara, Angelina andBrad’s third adopted child, erased “Pitt” as her last name when she introduced herself among the newest members of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority during a luncheon at Spelman College’s Atlanta, Georgia.
The 19-year-old was filmed saying: “My name is Zahara Marley Jolie, coming all the way from the Golden State in the city that is full of angels, Los Angeles, California … I am this line’s number seven.”

At the time, Pax wrote: “You have made the lives of those closest to me a constant hell.
“You may tell yourself and the world whatever you want but the truth will come to light someday.”
More recently, on May 27, Shiloh, who is Brangelina’s fourth child and their first biological kid,filed paperwork requesting a legal name change on her 18th birthday, specifically dropping the “Pitt” from her last name and making her new name simply “Shiloh Jolie.”
“Why shouldn’t her kids have her last name?” a reader asked
