OlderAngelina Jolie’s Mom Dies at 56
Marcheline Bertrand, French actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, died of ovarian cancer in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after a 7.5 yearlong battle with cancer. (Age 56 as reported by IMDB.) Brad Pitt, Angie, and her older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital yesterday at the time Bertrand passed away.
Bertrand raised Angie and James after divorcing their father, Jon Voight (Angie was just a toddler at the time).
Our prayers and best wishes to the Pitt and Jolie family. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

I am so releived that AJ has Brad in her life to support her and that she is not alone during this horrible time.
Dropping back in to say that I don’t think that even her brother who’ himself is in need of comfort just as much as Angelina is, couldn’t provide what Brad and her kids are.
^^^^
Brad as described by Angelina is someone who takes serious his role in her life, making sure she makes time to stop and smell the flora, and he makes time for them to swim outside of the fishbowl, and it’s him whose there with her when the one other person in her life who always championed Angelina, passes from her life.
It’s so sad and amazing all at once, and I just keep thinking about how NOTrandom it feels. I’m not speaking in romantic terms when I say I see Brad as the only person who is even remotely capable of getting her through this; of being the kind of person that if she so chose to go somewhere for a few days alone, or she and her brother need to take on the task of dealing with their mothers material possesions, she could count on Brad to take care of the homefront. She has someone she can truly depend on at what has to be the most sad time of her life and it really feels like divine intervention at work.

=====================================================
Well Said jpf and I totally agree with you
Jon Voight is 73 years old while Marcheline Bertrand is only 56 that is 17 years difference and Angie’s mom raised the two kids by herself and such good adult they become. That is an accomplishment for such a young mother raising two kids by herself. I take my hats off to her! I cannot blame Angie for her rift with her dad. May she rest in peace.

Jeez, chill. That is how I always refer to her.
I feel sad for Angie, she was very close to her mom. With brad and her children behind her, she can deal with this heartbreak.

That may be how you refer to her, but she has no place on this thread. This has nothing to do with her.
i cant even imagine how sad she will be. she will always cry when its her mothers birthday. shell cry to have to spend christmas time without her mother or giving her a present, she breakdown if she sees something that was her mothers years ago.i hope she gets better at least to stop being sad all the time :( im so sad for her.i feel for her.shes not the only one, i lost my grandma and other people and i wasnt happy about it.angie you have a lot of people that love you like brad and the kids and you have fans that also love you and are supporting you , everyone that cares about will help you through this hard time.
I really hope the paparazzi leave them alone for awhile. However, if the papz do get photos of them grieving or at some private event that they are not posted here or any where else for that matter.
My deepest sympathy to Angie ,Brad, James, the Jolie-Pitt’s children
and Angie’s relatives on her mother side.
Angie, you have given your mother the sweetest love and respect.
She now rest in peace bringing memory of yours, and
a smile of happiness that you have now with a loving Brad, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh.
I love you !!
I will forever be yours & Brad’s loyal fan.
You ,James, Brad & the children will always be in my prayers.
Go ahead cry…I am crying too…
anjie and james are now an orphan,in terms of parent!i just dont want to include j.voight!sorry!i was just glad brad is der for anjie and james.love them!
To Paradise, the original “Ho” comment from the first #203 thread was deleted as it should rightfully be. Thank you JJ.
My apologies to the second #203 commentator. The “Ho” comment about AJ was heartless. AJ would never repeat what her Dad did to her Mom.
Francis Bertrand, Marcheline’s nephew and Angie’s cousin wrote this on his myspace
“Life is so short”
Im sure most of you have read, that yesterday, my aunt passed away. You never really know how long life will be, and it is so important to live each day as if it were your last.
If you wish, please show love by making a donation to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.”
and
RIP- M. Bertrand, I love you

I, too, must show my love and respect to Angie, her brother James and the rest of her family —– Brad, Maddox, Zee, Shiloh.
At this incredible time in their lives i am confident that all the love being shown by her fans around the world, is helping to shore her up at this time. Love is a wonderful and powerful thing and even at this sad time, I am happy that everyone who needs proof, now knows that Angie is loved, admired and appreciated by people from all over the world.

He’s not 73. He was born in Dec of 1938. He’s 69. What’s interesting is that he and Marcheline are 12 1/2 yrs apart in age, and Brad & Angie are 12yrs apart. The irony in how each man has dealt with their families. Brad can’t be apart from them, and Jon missed out on so much and I feel sad for him in a different way, but sad nevertheless as I believe he’s “selfishly or unselfishly” mourning much right now. He’s put himself in a position where he can’t even comfort his children or they him.

My thoughts are with Angie and her family at this time. I lost my Mom when I was one year older than Angie is now and I will never forget the gut wrenching pain and deep sadness that I felt losing her. My brothers were solace, my father tried, but I was the kind of daughter that talked to Mom every day on the phone. No one could replace my Mom and how she helped me in life.
I will pray for Angie tonite and hope that the love and memories she has of her Mom can sustain her.
I am sure that Angie will continue to make her Mom proud.

Heck we know that. It’s just that we are upset…. I don’t even know the post you are referring to since I haven’t gone back the thread. All I wish is for Bradley to ease our Angel’s pain away!!!!
im sorry to hear that…condolences to her and her family…may she rest in peace…
Coming out of lurkdom to give my heartfelt prayers and condolences to James, Angie and all their family. Marcheline was a beautiful woman, a loving mother and grandmother. She is now a beautiful guardian angel.
I beg of everyone…Please refrain from mailing cards or letters to Angie as she and her family have CLEARLY stated that any tangible condolences be sent in the form of a contribution to Cedars Senai. Let’s honor Angie’s mother and Angie’s families wishes and not inundating them with things they don’t want or need at this time.
So very sad…
