Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Want Disney’s “Mary Poppins”
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Star Couple Want Flying Nanny?

With the recent news of the birth of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins (named Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline) comes UK headline and story detailing the couples search for a nanny. According to the article in the UK’s Daily Telegraph by Graham Tibbetts, the couple specifically wants an English nanny and have engaged an exclusive UK firm to find the perfect “Mary Poppins.” There is no mention that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie want the nanny to fly, sing songs, or be friendly with the chimney sweep as in the Disney Broadway musical. The Telegraph article quotes a source:
“They have an established and reputable agency in London going through the process of finding them the ideal person - with the main stipulation that they choose a nanny who is English.”
No doubt the opportunity will be pursued by many, though the photo of Whoopi Goldberg from Xanadu on Tony Awards night is likely not an audition photo for the job.
