Angelina Jolie has additional plans to remove ovaries
HOLLYWOOD superstar Angelina Jolie is planning to have surgery to remove her ovaries, a report says.
It comes just a day after the humanitarian activist and mother of six revealed that she had undergone a double mastectomy in a preventive surgery against breast cancer.
Jolie, 37, wrote in The New York Times that she decided to have the operation after learning that she had a "faulty" gene, BRCA1, which "sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer".
