SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- American actors Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie, fresh from celebrating the holidays in Africa, visited a pediatric cancer center in Pitt's boyhood town.
Last year, Pitt and Jolie, along with Pitt's brother and sister and their families, donated $1 million to St. John's Foundation for Community Health in Springfield, Mo., and dedicated the pediatric cancer center to Pitt's mother, Jane, People magazine reported Thursday.
"Jane Pitt is a gem in our community," hospital spokeswoman Cora Scott said. "She's a very wonderful woman who cares so very much about the well-being of children."
She said the acting couple called about an hour in advance Wednesday to ask for a tour of the center. Pitt and Jolie were accompanied by Pitt's parents and his brother Doug.
"They stayed about 45 minutes," Scott said. "It was a very nice visit."
