Voight, 70, the actor, has disclosed that he and his movie star daughter have got back in touch and are tentatively trying to rebuild their relationship.
The pair have been involved in one of the most famous family feuds in showbusiness since 2001, when Voight told Access Hollywood that Jolie had "serious mental problems" and pleaded with her to seek help.
Relations had already become strained after Jolie learned Voight had had an affair behind her mother's back.
Now Voight has disclosed that the pair met face-to-face in February with the support of his daughter's husband Brad Pitt, with whom she has six children, and have been in contact ever since.
“We’re in touch, but not regularly,” Voight told Us Weekly magazine. “We love each other and that’s the most important thing.”
A family friend told the magazine: "Angie made the initial contact,” said the friend. “Brad Pitt has been supportive – a key factor in her reaching out.”
Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children and three children of their own.
Voight was one of the biggest stars of the 1970s following his appearance in the 1969 Oscar-winning Midnight Cowboy in which he played the hustler Joe Buck.
