Film, Maria is basically a biopic of a popular opera singer, Maria Callas. Angelina got to step into the shoes of a legend, to her, this was an experience of a lifetime.

"The audience seemed to respond well to it. So, anything else is a dream, but I'm so grateful already”, added Brad Pitt’s former wife.
