Quincy welcomed his first child with Caldwell, his high school sweetheart, in 1953. Jolie has dabbled in the entertainment industry over the years, appearing in the 1977 film Panic in Echo Park and lending her song “Take a Second Look” to the soundtrack of the 1987 movie Hunk. (Quincy and Caldwell were married from 1957 to 1966.)
Jolie shares two kids — Donovan and Sunny — with her husband, music producer Stewart Levine. Today, she raises awareness for Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), a condition she suffers from herself, which is defined by the National Library of Medicine as a “clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of a wide spectrum of non-specific multiple organ symptoms … that occur following the patient’s acute or chronic exposure to electromagnetic fields in the environment or in occupational settings.”
“Because of my experience and the knowledge gained by navigating my way through this debilitating impairment, I feel the responsibility to open up a dialog and share what I have learned in the process of my healing,” Jolie shared via her website.
