Vintage Celebrity Portraits

Recently I discovered an interesting series of vintage photographs on vintage everyday.
The post was entitled "30 Amazing and Interesting Portraits of Celebrities with Their Vintage Cameras".

Now, the title is a bit misleading since at the tame of respective image capture these cameras were nothing but vintage. It is rather a series of vintage portraits and self portraits of celebrities with cameras.

There is no major celebrity missing in this photo stream. And it shows that now and then celebrities were taking pictures for their memories just as the everyday person. This even with the same type of cameras.

Ok, the Queen of the UK was using quite an expensive Leica camera, but at the time this was a frequently used device.

The same camera Brad Pit was using for his self portrait.

While almost all celebrities in the series are shooting handheld range finder or SLR cameras, Angelina Jolie is working - or at least posing - with a decent large format camera.
I am wondering what picture came out of that shot?
