Symptoms are similar to stroke, where one part of the face is slightly tilted.
Yes, the film actress Maleficent suffered from Bell's Palsy in 2016.
Bell's palsy is a nerve disorder that causes the sufferer to experience facial paralysis.
In 2017, Jolie told the media that the symptoms of facial paralysis were very disturbing.

Recognizing Bell's Palsy
Reported by kompas.com, Bell's Palsy can occur at any age, but is most common between the ages of 30-60 years.
The cause itself is not known.
Bell's Palsy tends to occur suddenly.
Usually there is pain behind the ear that precedes the paralysis a day or two earlier.
This condition happened to Aliya Nurlela (38) in 2009.
When he was on the committee of a business seminar in Nganjuk, East Java, his head suddenly hurt. "Even though I left in good health and didn't feel anything. I couldn't bear to go to the bathroom, when I looked in the mirror I saw something different with my face," said the mother of 2 children who like to write this.
When looking in the mirror, said Aliya, her lips tilted to the left.
His right eye is also slightly closed, with the location of the eyebrows that are no longer balanced.
He couldn't smile as usual, because his lips would be pulled sideways.
The sweet smile turned cynical.
Aliya decided to rest overnight at home before going to a neurologist the next day.
At that time he felt the headache getting stronger.
It was during the examination that Aliya was diagnosed with Bell's palsy.
Until now, Aliya still does not understand why the disease attacked her. "The doctor said so too.
Just an estimate may be triggered by cold air, for example sleeping using a fan.
Even though I've never done that," he said. The paralysis of his facial muscles had made Aliya less confident, sad, and confined herself.
But the support of the whole family restored his mental state.
Moreover, his love of writing makes it seem as if he has forgotten the disease he is still suffering from.
On the doctor's advice, Aliya underwent physiotherapy which included compresses and electric shocks to the face.
At the beginning of treatment, therapy was carried out every day for 25 minutes.
After two years of therapy, slowly the stiffness and slanted lips began to disappear.
Slowly but surely he began to "get better", although Bell's Palsy itself has no cure. "Now it can be said that his recovery has reached 80 percent. Therapy may only be done once a week," he said.
Aliya said that Bell's palsy gave her a lesson. Aliya becomes more concerned about small things such as wearing a closed helmet or mask while driving, not bathing at night, not going out much at night, not turning on the fan let alone spraying her face, or sleeping on the floor.
Nerve attack According to the explanation of Dr. Roeslan Yusni Hasan, Sp.BS, from RS. Mayapada Jakarta, Bell's Palsy paralysis can be caused by an attack on cranial nerve number 7, the periphery (perifier). "This nerve is unique because it is long and curved, passing through a passage called the facial canal. This tunnel is located at the base of the skull," he said.
Inflammation of the nerve causes swelling so that the nerve narrows and changes in the facial muscles.
Other symptoms that accompany Bell's palsy are eyes that cannot be closed and ears that are more sensitive (hyperacquisition).
Although not yet known for sure, the herpes virus is thought to be the cause of inflammation. "The exact cause is unknown. However, the inflammation may be caused by a viral attack," said Roslan.
He added, there are several conditions that make a person susceptible to Bell's Palsy, namely pregnant women, diabetics, and people with respiratory infections.
This is due to decreased endurance, and poor blood flow system (vascularization). Although there is no cure yet, Roslan advises people with Bell's palsy not to worry. "About 60-85 percent of Bell's palsy sufferers recover on their own because of the nature of the disease which is self-limiting disease. The important thing is to stay healthy and control your diet," he said.
But Roslan did not say how long the disease would heal.
The use of anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs can help overcome this disease.
In addition, patients who have difficulty closing their eyes are also advised to use an eye patch to avoid infection.
