New York, Oct 8 American actress Angelina Jolie has revealed that she looked for guidance in her late mother Marcheline Bertrand while shooting Clint Eastwood's "The Changeling".

She revealed at the New York Film Festival premiere that while playing the role of a mother desperately seeking her kidnapped son, she would often think of her mother.

"My mother would fight that hard for her children," the New York Daily News quoted Jolie as saying.

"The role made me confront my worst fear. It made me feel closer to my kids and grateful every night just to know where they are and that they're healthy.

"Making the phone call [in the film], saying that my kid was kidnapped, was difficult. I don't even like saying it right now," she added. (ANI)
