Another member of a talented Hollywood family has officially entered the entertainment business.
Angelina Jolie hired her youngest daughter, 15-year-old Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, to be her assistant — the teen is also a co-producer — on the new Broadway musical "The Outsiders," which is an adaptation of S.E. Hinton's 1967 novel of the same name. Angelina is the lead producer on the project.
According to Angelina, Vivienne took her job very seriously. "She'll correct me," Angelina told People magazine. "She'll say, 'Didn't you read the memo? We have to do this. We have to go through this.'"

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt and mom Angelina Jolie attended the Broadway opening night performance of "The Outsiders" at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre in New York City on April 11, 2024.
The Oscar winner and filmmaker is the lead producer on the stage adaptation of S. E. Hinton's 1967 coming-of-age novel, and her daughter is a co-producer and assistant on the show.
Last year after news of the mother-daughter duo's involvement was announced, Angelina released a statement to Page Six addressing her new working relationship with her youngest daughter: "Viv reminds me of my mother [actress Marcheline Bertrand] in that she isn't focused on being the center of attention but in being a support to other creatives," Angelina said. "She's very thoughtful and serious about theater and working hard to best understand how to contribute."
Angelina previously explained her own involvement in the show, which she's producing alongside The Araca Group, American Zoetrope, Olympus Theatricals, Sue Gilad and Larry Rogowsky. "I studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute where I realized my first love, as a performer, was the theater. I had not found a way back until now," she said in a statement. "I hope to be able to contribute while continuing to learn from this amazing team, who I have been working with since my daughter brought me to see the show at La Jolla Playhouse."

Hinton, who was around Vivienne's age when she wrote the novel," the source said.
A second source added that Angelina "wants to ensure the ['The Outsiders'] team is listening and working with young people every step of the way, and that their voices are leading in bringing this production to life on Broadway."
