Angelina Jolie was expected to arrive in Vietnam late Wednesday night to adopt a 3-year-old boy, adoption officials said.

Jolie was expected to attend an adoption ceremony with Vietnamese officials in Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday morning, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the matter.

After she receives the child, Jolie will meet with U.S. consular officials, who must review the adoption before a passport can be issued for the boy.

If all goes according to plan, Jolie could bring the child home by the weekend, officials said.

A message left early Wednesday for a Jolie representative in Los Angeles wasn't immediately returned.

The boy has been living at the Tam Binh orphanage on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City since he was abandoned at a hospital as an infant, according to adoption officials.

Shortly after he arrived at the orphanage, the Tam Binh staff tried unsuccessfully to locate the boy's birth parents.

The boy is healthy, friendly and a little bit shy, they said. He gets along well with other children and loves to play soccer.

Jolie filed adoption papers as a single parent, because she and her partner, Brad Pitt, are not married.

They have three children: 5-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 2-year-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and another daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.

The pair made a surprise visit to the Tam Binh orphanage at Thanksgiving, when they were spotted cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike.

Actress, humanitarian. Born June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California. The daughter of actor Jon Voight and French actress Marcheline Bertrand, Angelina Jolie rose to stardom in the 1990s. She began acting at a young age, studying at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute while in her early teens. Jolie later attended at New York University.

In the 1990s, Angelina Jolie became a popular actress. She gave a star-making performance in the 1998 television film Gia based on the short, tragic life of model Gia Marie Carangi, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Another great dramatic role in Girl, Interrrupted (1999) brought Jolie her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She has continued to take on a variety of interesting roles, such as an adventurer in the Lara Croft films, a FBI profiler in Taking Lives (2004), an assassin in Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005), and a neglected, troubled socialite wife in The Good Shepherd (2006).

A devoted humanitarian, Angelina Jolie was made a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency in 2001. She has made headlines for her work to obtain aid for refugees in Cambodia, Darfur and Jordan, to name just a few. In 2005, Jolie received the Global Humanitarian Action Award from the United Nations Association of the USA for her activism on behalf of refugee rights. She continues to travel the world to drawing attention to global issues.

Famous for her off-screen romances, Angelina Jolie has been married twice. She married Hackers co-star Jonny Lee Miller in 1995. The couple divorced in 1999. The next year Jolie married Academy Award-winning actor Billy Bob Thornton. That union lasted until 2003.

In 2002, Angelina Jolie adopted a son from Cambodia and named him Maddox. Three years later, she adopts a daughter, Zahara, and later in 2005, actor Brad Pitt files paperwork to adopt both of Jolie's children. Jolie and Pitt met during the making of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. The couple's first biological daughter, Shiloh, was born in the African country of Namibia in 2006. Jolie, Pitt, and their children had traveled there to avoid the media frenzy that seemed to follow them wherever they went. After the joy of welcoming her third child to the world came great sadness for Jolie. She experienced a great personal loss in the beginning of 2007-her mother died of cancer after fighting the disease for many years.

The Story: John Smith (Brad Pitt) and Jane Smith (Angelina Jolie) are having marital problems and visiting a marriage counselor doesn't really seem to be doing any good. Their relationship is on the rocks because they just can't open up with each other. If only they could be more involved in each other's lives, then they might be able to keep from drifting further apart.

But Mr. and Mrs. Smith are each keeping a big secret that, until an unfortunate turn of events, they simply can't share. They're both assassins who've been given their most difficult mission to date: kill their spouse or be killed.

Jolie added, "Obviously the film - like [Brad] was saying - it's a comment that is all a metaphor for marriage. It's a wild and crazy one, but I do think it is a good one, and I think what makes us good assassins. But at the end of the day it's interesting two [assassins] have to learn how to be a team. I think that's incredibly interesting."

Brad Pitt Sets the Record Straight: Is it True He Only Wanted Angelina Jolie for the Role?: "I don't know where that story came from. Originally, at one point, there was another actress and she had to drop out. And then, certainly our main contender was Angelina because it was really important that Mr. and Mrs. had some form of equality. And what I mean by that, when you have fight scenes when you're literally punching the s**t out of each other, you've got to believe they're equally matched, I would say."

Mixing Comedy, Drama, Action, Romance - Getting the Tone of the Movie Right: "That was all this bunch here [indicating the director and producers]. This was one big think tank. I guess we're missing Simon [Kinberg, the writer] and a couple other people. Know that this thing could have so easily devolved into an action film. That was the danger with this thing and we were very conscious of keeping the relationship in the forefront. And what I think Doug [Liman] did best, and certainly to his credit, was any action that did take place, it was secondary - it was the backdrop. It surrounded whatever argument they were having at the time, or whatever personal dynamic they needed to work out at that moment," said Pitt.

"I think I was asking for the first few months what the tone is. I don't think anybody had an answer for what exactly the tone was, because it is a little bit of everything, which is really nice, to try to find that balance," explained Jolie, to which her co-star Pitt proclaimed, "That's not true! I had an answer, she just didn't listen. She disagreed with me wholeheartedly." Getting serious, Pitt said, "No, we took from movies, you know, like movies like ‘Midnight Run,' which is a true, successful amalgamation of films that have a comedic bent to it, but there's also action and drama. And it's really, I believe, a most difficult line to walk."

Brad Pitt on How it Felt to Fight a Woman Onscreen: "I felt good, I felt very good [joking]. Well, I took some shots though. If you re-wind it I took some really good shots. But again, the thing was not to be taken - knowing that the thing was not to be taken literally, we could go as far as we wanted to go. And to me it's one of the best comedic pieces of the thing. Again representative of how, you know, we take each other out in some form or another."

On Hitting, Kicking, Kissing, and Making Love - All in One Scene: Jolie smiled as she responded, "Well, I wasn't upset about that. I mean, it's a strange thing we all do for a living. And at the end of the day, it's a really fun script. It's about love and marriage and so it has all of those things in it. And it's got all those elements that make for a great film and so it was fun to do." Pitt threw in, "And we like extremes, so why not take it to the end?"

We love Angelina Jolie for her kickass portrayal of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, in the original and its sequel, and in her Oscar winning role as the crazy mental patient in 2000's Girl, Interrupted. Jolie has stated recently that she doesn't plan on doing more Tomb Raider films, but don't expect her to not play any more powerful women. Her most exciting movies are coming out this year. She plays Colin Farrell's mother, Catherine the Great, in Oliver Stone's Alexander, and Captain Franky Cook in the all-green-screen film, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Three years after burning up the box office with the serial killer film The Bone Collector, Jolie returns to the genre in Taking Lives, tracking a serial killer who kills his victims then establishes himself in their lives. He has killed over 19 in Montreal and Illeana Scott [Jolie] is an expert FBI profiler who is brought in to catch him.

Check out the website for Taking Liveshere.

UGO: Is there something about being an actor that's like being a FBI profiler?

Angelina Jolie: Absolutely. Well, obviously, you'd have to be very good to be able to do that part of taking over somebody's personality. Also, a profiler basically studies behavior, and I think that's what we often do. Trying to figure out whether my character would do this because of this, this, and this. So then a profiler looks at a murder scene and says, "Oh, the kind of person who would do that is this kind of person." So there's a lot of that.

UGO: I was surprised to see you do a nude scene in this.

Angelina: The thing is, it's important to the film. I never did one before because I thought I had to. It's not a big deal to be naked. I think it's a bigger deal to be emotionally naked. I think a woman's breasts are a woman's breasts; they don't freak me out or shock me. It's just not a big deal. I think it's appropriate to the story.

UGO: What was it that drew you to this script?

Angelina: It surprised me, and I don't often read scripts that do that. This script was just so much smarter than usual and I'm just fascinated by human behavior. Obviously, that's part of what we do for a living, so I'm fascinated by it. I wanted to study her and the kind of women that do this for a living, and how that affects their personal lives and who they are. Also, the mind of a serial killer.

UGO: Is it unusual people that become profilers?

Angelina: No. Some people have more of a comfort with it. The lady profilers I met weren't kind of dark people, they were actually quite light and lovely. There's nothing that kind of says, I like to hang out with dark things. They were just sensitive people. So no, certainly, I don't have a fear of that. I don't get grossed out when I see death or blood. I can see that it was a person and they're just passed away. It doesn't freak me out.

UGO: Is it fun playing a female character that's smarter than everybody else?

Angelina: Well, not smarter than everybody. But yes, she was very smart. We actually wanted to make sure that she wasn't too smart. That's the mistake some of these films have, where you have this female come in, and you want to prove that the female's tough, so she's just so cool and so tough so you just don't feel anything for her. We wanted to make Illeana a real human that's flawed and kind of awkward.

UGO: How do you feel about all the press about you?

Angelina: Apparently, I've made out with every single person in Taking Lives and I still had time to shoot the movie.

UGO: You've been connected with Jared Leto.

Angelina: I heard about that one.

UGO: Is that real?

Angelina: No. I don't even know where that came from; it's so bizarre and funny. Who is just sitting around thinking up this stuff?

UGO: They said they saw you at a club making out with him.

Angelina: Yeah, because that's what I do in my off time. I'm working 14 hours a day and I have a baby. I go clubbing now.

UGO: Working with Gena Rowlands must have been amazing.

Angelina: Oh, yeah. When she showed up, we're all these little actors that just love her. The cool thing about Gena is that she loves this kind of movie; she loves this kind of book. She's got a whole little murder mystery side to her that's very, very cool. She's probably the darkest, wildest of all of us. She's tremendous.

UGO: Can you tell us about Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow?

Angelina: We haven't seen the final movie and how it looks. It's really Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow's film, and I'm kind of the other character that shows up towards the end, that's a bit shifty. But it's great to work on, and I've known Jude because I was married to his best friend for a few years. So it was nice to finally work with him. But it is all CGI, and the nice thing about it is they were trying to think of the most fantastic things they could do with special effects. What can we make? Can we have a three-inch elephant? What can you do to make it, to really use this new way of making films? They really did that so that's exciting.

UGO: Does your son like it?

Angelina: He liked it. He's always there on set, and I thought he was going to freak out when he first saw me because I'm in all black leather and wearing an eye patch. Then it clearly didn't even bother him, and he wore an eyepatch, too

UGO: Does he understand what you do for a living?

Angelina: I think he just has this idea that i tend to be around places and my pictures are in places. He hates the Taking Lives poster, because it looks like I'm being strangled.

UGO: Will you do another Lara Croft movie?

Angelina: I don't think so. I just don't feel like I need to, because I felt very happy with the last one, which was kind of the one we wanted to do. The first one kind of frustrated us, because we were trying something new. The second one, I felt like that's kind of how I wanted to do it, and I don't really feel the need to do another one.

UGO: Did the lack of success of Beyond Borders hurt you?

Angelina: It would be wonderful if people would have responded to it more or seen it more. But at the same time, I know that I'm the kind of person that likes that kind of movie, and I don't go to movies. I'm assuming that, maybe, the people that would have appreciated it were too busy at home or they're doing other things or they're in the field somewhere doing something else. I certainly know that it's not an easy movie to sit through, so I don't think people were rushing to it. Before we did press, the movie company actually mapped the amount of people that wanted to go see it and after we did press, it was like nothing. The number dropped because so many realized it wasn't some fun love story.

UGO: How many people wanted to see it originally?

Angelina: I don't know.

UGO: Your Oscar gown was really beautiful. How did that come together?

Angelina: It took a bunch of people coming in with tailors and there was Maddox standing there screaming, because he doesn't want anybody touching me. They couldn't alter the dress, because he was on a bottle while they were trying to alter it. I said to my son, "Do you like it?" "No!" So when I'm home, I don't even know what I'm wearing because it's sort of like whatever I'm grabbing. I'll wear the same jeans for four days, or whatever is comfortable.

UGO: Have you made up with your dad yet?

Angelina: No.

UGO: Do you see that ever resolving?

Angelina: No.

UGO: You just did Alexander. How insane is Oliver Stone?

Angelina: I love him. I think he's a brilliant man, and I think probably insane by his own mind. Because even the jokes he says are so tapped into knowing, like, the whole history of a country. So he can make some random, off the cuff joke that nobody else in the room gets because we don't know that much about the world and history. The interesting thing about Oliver is that he's a director in this business who's lived a very real life. As far as these other directors that can maybe seem saner, he gets lost in it because he knows death and he knows war and he knows survival in a deeper way.

UGO: What was the filming like?

Angelina: It was fast for me. I was in Morocco for two weeks and at Pinewood for about two weeks. I think, for the guys, it was probably very dragged out and intense filming with a lot of preparation ahead of time to become soldiers.

UGO: Is it getting easier to juggle being an A-list actor and a mother?

Angelina: That just sounds so funny, A-list. Really, I'm a mom, and that's how I'm going to be all my life. Success in this business comes and goes. I'm so happy I'm working and able to take time off. I'm able to take him on set with me, because that's something not a lot of people can do.
