Angelina Jolie's British stunt double lodges first phone hacking complaint in US against Rupert Murdoch's News Corp

Angelina Jolie's stunt double is suing Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation for allegedly hacking into her voicemail, it emerged today.
Eunice Huthart is the first alleged victim of hacking to launch a legal claim against the Murdoch empire in the U.S.
The British 46-year-old, who won the first series of TV game show Gladiators, claims The Sun and the News of the World hacked her phone in an attempt to gather gossip about Ms Jolie.

News International, the British arm of News Corp, has already paid out millions of pounds in compensation to celebrities and other public figures who were hacked by the News of the World.
However, Ms Huthart is the first person to have sought justice through the American courts, which could cause major difficulties for Mr Murdoch ahead of a planned break-up of News Corp into entertainment and publishing divisions.
The stuntwoman claims that News International papers used information found on her voicemail to uncover Ms Jolie's relationship with co-star Brad Pitt during the filming of 2005 hit Mr & Mrs Smith.
