Former agent that trained Angie: she could be a spy




The former CIA girl's latest assignment was training Angelina for her role as a secret agent in new blockbuster movie Salt.
And Melissa believes that, apart from the crucial issue of having one of the most recognisable faces on the planet, Angelina has all the attributes to be a brilliant spy.
She explained: "Angelina is good at masking her inner emotions and she brings that to the role."To be a good spy you harbour a lot of lies all the time. You want to present a particular image, whatever that image is going to be. There is an element of that in being a celebrity.
"Spies are always acting and taking on roles. We manipulate how people view you and that's very similar to what actors do. Angelina pulls it off very well, her focus and understanding is very impressive."
Salt director Phillip Noyce signed Melissa as a consultant on the movie after they decided to change the title character from a man to a woman.
Melissa used her wealth of experience to improve the script and advised Angelina, 35, on her role as a CIA spy accused of being a Russian mole. Melissa said: "When I met Angelina I was so impressed. I don't know what I was expecting but I got a real professional. She was focused and interested in the details of how things worked and looking at it through a spy's eye."
Melissa revealed: "I was shot at - but it doesn't happen every day. If every day was like a day in Salt's life, I'd be dead.
Melissa believes that Angelina's mastery of her role can help to recruit a new generation of hotshot CIA officers. She says: "Angelina puts a very good face on what it means to be a spy. Hollywood is a great recruiter."OK, the reality is a little bit different. But as I tell everybody, the reality is even better."
