Angelina Jolie "made the right choice" for her family by having a double mastectomy.
The 'Maleficent' actress underwent the preventative procedure in February 2013 after being told she had an 87% chance of getting breast cancer, and she spoke out about her decision in order to help other women in similar positions.
She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's You magazine: "I didn't know how it would be received. But I felt that the important thing was that I wanted to speak to other women.
"I wanted to speak to other daughters of women like my mother [who died from ovarian cancer in 2007]. I wanted other women to be aware of something that they could take on and protect themselves from.
"I felt that I'd learnt something about my health, and I felt I'd made the right choice for my family and I simply wanted other women to know that there was that choice."
