In recent years, legendary actor Jon Voight has become as well known for his estrangement from his daughter, Angelina Jolie, as for his numerous movies. The actress and her father are reconciling after seven years of public feuding and estrangement. The father and daughter were photographed together in Venice, where 34 year-old Jolie is filming her latest movie, “The Tourist”, which also stars Johnny Depp.

The longstanding feud began in 2001, after Voight made a television appearance and spoke of Jolie’s “serious mental problems”. Jolie was furious with her father since she had recently adopted her first child, Maddox, and felt that the statements put the adoption in jeopardy. That year was also the last time the two were seen together, as co-stars in the movie “Tomb Raider”. In 2002, Jolie legally changed her name from Angelina Jolie Voight by dropping Voight from her full name.

However, recently the 71 year-old Voight has been in touch with Jolie, and has said they have been trying to mend their relationship since 2007. The trip to Venice was the first time they have been seen publicly together, alongside Jolie’s partner, actor Brad Pitt, and their six children. The family enjoyed sightseeing together in Italy.
