Angelina Jolie inspired stunt or legitimate offer?
Either way, it almost sounds like a cynical joke strait out of the film Team America…
According to reports 72-year-old Hollywood actress and mother of 15, Mia Farrow, says she is willing to sacrifice herself for the release of a man in the war torn African nation of Sudan.
In an emotional letter to the Sudanese President, the Golden Globe award winning actress offered to give up her freedom in exchange for the release of a major player in the peace negotiation process in the Darfur region conflict.
In the letter she pleaded for the opportunity…”to exchange my freedom for his in the knowledge of his importance to the civilians of Darfur and in the conviction that he will apply his energies toward creating the just and lasting peace that the Sudanese people deserve and hope for.”
“Before his seizure, Mr. Jamous played a crucial role in bringing the SLA to the negotiating table and in seeking reconciliation between its divided rival factions.”
Farrow is a UN children’s agency ambassador, UNICEF and has visited Darfur twice.
She has starred in musicals, TV shows and movies like The Omen, Third Watch, See No Evil and Romantic Comedy, and was even once married to Frank Sinatra.

Why doesn’t she threaten to show one of her movies if they don’t stop fighting?
