Description WASHINGTON,DC - While Brad Pitt was busy on Capitol Hill Thursday, his other half was hard at work on her new movie in D.C.

Angelina Jolie was busy filming a new espionage action thriller called Salt, and the set was located at The Navy Memorial in Northwest Washington. All of the action unfolded right in front of dozens of star-gazing fans.

Jolie waved to FOX 5's crew as she walked onto the set. For a little over an hour, she acted out a scene in which she runs toward the Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter Metro station from 7th Street NW.

The scene played out right in front of anyone who wanted to watch, and the set was so unassuming that some people who were walking by had no idea what they had stumbled onto. Many just stood watching, with cell phone cameras in hand.

"We were standing up here and she was talking to the director, and a couple of young ladies waved and she waved back to them, so that got everyone inspired," said Irccoh Player, who added that it was a bit of a thrill seeing the star.

"I initially saw her and I said that's not her, she has blond hair and I wandered up next to her, and she came next to me and I said that is her," said Deepa Iyengar, who was also there watching. "She's so beautiful so pretty."

A fairly large number of Hollywood stars come to the D.C. area to shoot movies and to testify in front of Congress, but Angelina Jolie seems to be in a different galaxy. U.S. Park Police thought they would be pulling paparazzi out of the trees, but fortunately nothing like that happened.
