That Brad Pitt has been, and continues to be, one of the most successful and most adored men internationally is nothing new. He has just turned 60 and is a symbol with a long history behind him. Just as long as his list of loves. Although now he is very happy with the businesswoman Inés de Ramón, at the beginning of his career his heart beat for Jill Schoelen, a young actress who shortly after decided to retire.
A romance that began when she was at one of the highest points of her career and he was just starting out in the world. It was in 1989 when they both coincided in the filming of the film Cutting Class, a horror film, categorized as a slasher, which became the actor’s first important role.
But Jill Schoelen’s professional career began years before with the recording of the pilot of a television series starring Nicolas Cage and Crispin Glover, in 1981. After this, films such as D.C. followed. Cab (1983), The Stepfather (1987), alongside Terry O’Quinn, or When a Stranger Calls Back (1993), where she met Charles Durning.
But it was in 1987, with the premiere of the horror film The Stepfather, where she managed to be at the top of her career and position herself as one of the best-known actresses of the moment. She became one of the ‘scream queens’ in the 80s. Therefore, she was able to participate in the film that made her meet Brad Pitt.
The romance between the two was so intense that in just one year they became engaged. He, deeply in love with her, did not hesitate to ask her her long-awaited question, to which she responded yes. However, love does not last forever and they decided to break off their engagement. And although the alleged letters that were leaked on RadarOnline in 2013 put the love he felt for her on the table, the breakup was turbulent.
“She called me in Los Angeles and was crying on the phone, she felt alone and something bad was happening… At that time I had 800 dollars in my name and I spent 600 to buy a ticket to Hungary to see her,” she told The Sun in 2011. Likewise , he put on the table that it was one of the worst moments of his life. “She told me that she had fallen in love with the director of the film (…) I was so shocked that I could only say: ‘I’m leaving here,'” she added.
After everything that happened with Brad Pitt, Jill Schoelen’s professional career was never the same. It was in 1993, after marrying composer Anthony Marinelli, that she retired from the world of cinema. It was all because the actress wanted to dedicate herself completely to caring for the children she had with the musician, with whom she divorced in 2002.
Now, and after trying his hand at the world of jazz, recording an album in 2009, he has decided that it is a good time to return to the world of performance. “A joyful event! After being away from the camera for 29 years, I have the female lead in a wonderful movie with a great cast starring Tom Claren and Charlie Schlatter. The title of the movie is Mr. Christmas. Enjoy of the details and more to follow… Love to all!”, he revealed a few hours ago on his social networks.
