She's a mother of six, but that didn't stop daredevil Angelina Jolie from dangling out of a third-story window while filming her new spy thriller, Salt, in NYC on March 12. "Her stunts were pretty dangerous," says an insider. "She was at least 50 feet in the air!"

Of course, every precaution is being taken to ensure Angelina's safety on the set of the movie (which originally was supposed to star Tom Cruise in the title role, but he opted out and the lead was rewritten as a woman). "There were harnesses holding her in place when she was outside the window," says an eyewitness. "Still, this was extreme. A lot of other female actors wouldn't do this kind of stunt."
