WASHINGTON — Academy Award-nominated actor Brad Pitt came to the Capitol Thursday to see Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the speaker of the House of Representatives. (He also met with President Barack Obama at the White House but out of public sight.)
Pitt was in town to talk about “Make It Right,” a foundation that helps to build environmentally friendly homes for low-income hurricane victims in New Orleans. Pitt and companion Angelina Jolie founded the organization in 2007.
No one screamed, but Pitt did stop foot traffic. Teenage pages stopped to gawk. Congressional interns snapped pictures with their cellphones, wondering where Jolie was — apparently a few blocks away, down Pennsylvania Avenue, filming her CIA thriller, “Salt.”
