tonight on "nightline," a star's secret. angelina jolie speaks about her double mastectomy. tonight, what made her do it and why brad pitt thinks she's a hero to their family and women everywhere. scandalous. sex, lies and an assassination attempt? nothing is sacred in the hit show "scandal" we go behind the scenes. piles of cash, tonight a real life spy game unfolds in moscow, and a cia operative is captured. what will it mean for america's relations with russia.

good evening and thanks for joining us. she's battled cia assassins and evil scientists as a movie star. but hollywood a-lister and global activist angelina jolie is waging a real life war against a disease that threatens to cut short the real lives of women. it's her newly public battle against the risks of breast cancer that has turned her into a true inspiration for women around the world. >> wherefore she goes, whatever she does, angelina jolie captured headlines and the limelight like a magnet. >> in some ways it seems you've used a sort of jiu-jitsu move of celebrity, all of this enormous spotlight on you. you seem to want to turn around on people who would otherwise get no attention.

>> yeah. and that's the positive thing of celebrity. i can do more good with one foot on one side and one foot in the other. >> her stunning beauty and hit movies like laura croft, tomb raider. >> an oscar for "girl interrupted." >> i'm playing the villain, baby. just like you want. >> for her pairing with superstar brad pitt. together in "mr. and mrs. smith". >> who's your daddy now? soo. >> and their six children. as an das dor of goodwill in africa and cambodia and again today, with her op ed piece in "the new york times" and the stunning revelation that she had had a preventive double mastectomy. she wrote, my doctors estimated i had an 87% risk of breast cancer. once i knew this was my reality, i decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as i could. i've interviewed angelina several times. a few years ago after ovarian cancer took the life of her own

beloved mother at only 56. >> oh, i don't want to cry. you know, she's just -- she was just a very, very loving person. she was completely full of love and kindness and it's the legacy that she left. you know, she didn't become a great actress. she didn't become somebody anybody knew. she didn't do anything other than love her children and raise them with so much care. so she's taught me a lot about the importance of that. of just being -- just everyday kindness. i think it's important thing about being a mom. >> my children will never have the chance to know her and experience how loving and gracious she was. they have asked me if the same thing could happen to me. i tell them not to worry, but the truth is i carry a faulty gene. she underwent an eight-hour

operation where breast tissue was removed before temporary if i recalls were put in place. march 26, angelina took a humanitarian trip to the congo. in april 4, she attended the women in the world summit in new york. appearing relaxed. the next day, she took her kids shopping. amazingly, one of the world's most chronicled celebrities managed to keep her secret from the press. until today. and that revealing op ed. on a personal note, she wrote, i do not feel any less of a woman. i feel empowered that i made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininitfeminini. she tested positive for the gene called roc-1. they have a 50% risk of carrying breast cancer. in 2005, jessica queller was a successful television writer. >> my mother had had breast cancer, which she beat.

seven years later, she was diagnosed with stage 3-c ovarian cancer and she died two years after that. i thought i should for peace of mind take the test. >> the result -- positive. jessica was at a high risk for developing breast cancer. >> to me, it's the worst thing in the world. i don't want to gamble with it. i don't want to gamble that maybe we'll catch it early enough. >> she decided to have the double mastectomy. today, eight years later, jessica is the mother to 3-year-old sophie, who she had via an anonymous sperm donor after nine attempts to become pregnant. >> my daughter is the light of my life. i don't have words do express how much i love this little creature. >> reporter: she says angelina jolie is a role model to the world. if you could walk around and say well, angelina jolie did it. if you're a po-year-old woman, that's a lot of confidence. >> jolie underwent them with their partner brad pitt b

side. today, pitt issued this statement. having witnessed this decision firsthand, i find angie's choice, as well as many others like her absolutely heroic. all i want is for her to have a long and healthy life with myself and our children. this is a happy day for our family. jolie wrote, we managed to laugh together. we knew this was the right thing to do for our family and it would bring us closer. and it has. jolie said she chose to share her story now, wanting more women to get tested and know their options. life comes with many challenges, she wrote, the ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of. >> and they can use this knowledge to make choices. >> we met a doctor of clinical genetics. she talks to women about when to consider surgery and to make sure they have the insurance to

cover it. >> everyone has the braca gene. it protects you against breast cancer and ovarian cancer. if there's a change in that gene or a mutation, the patient loses the protection against cancer and is therefore predisposed. i applaud angelina jolie. i think she's very brave. >> cancer is still a word that strikes fear in people's hearts, jolie wrote. but at least for her, the chances of developing breast cancer are now just under 5%. i can tell my children that they don't need to fear they'll lose me to breast cancer. >> i'm angie. >> she continues her work, traveling to the poorest and sometimes most dangerous places on earth, visiting the world's most vulnerable children at orphanages and refugee camps. >> you finally pick yourself up and think my god, that woman just crossed a border with five children and no food and she's not complaining about anything. she gets on.

so we all just have to get on and do what we can. >> i understand why you do it now. why did you do it to begin? >> i think everybody needs a sense of purpose to be useful. i've been working on films, to try to work on my own career, my own life. certainly there was an emptiness in me. >> jolie has long fulfilled any emptiness with empathy. she talked about what it means to be a mother to six children, three of them adopted. >> just letting the kids know how much they make you happy, you know, is a great gift to give them. other than discipline is important and all of is this is important. what you give them in their schooling and education. but the most important thing is to let them know what a joy they are for you and what a pleasure it is to be their mother. >> reporter: taking the lead is something angelina jolie has never shied away from.

>> shining example of womanhood. if jolie says it hasn't affected her femini anonymity, there may far less stigma for women everywhere. next up, ever wonder what goes on inside the halls of political power? secrets like you won't believe when i go on the set of abc's hit show "scandal." ♪ (annoucer) new beneful medley's, in tuscan, romana, and mediterranean style varieties. ♪ just mix it in, and take play to new places. three cans in every pack. new beneful medley's.
