Angelina Jolie’s Mom Dies at 56

Sun, 28 January 2007 at 4:35 pm

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.

REPOSTING!!

Here is the link for donations to Cedar’s Sinai.
http://www.csmc.edu/309.html

I would like to suggest that for those interested in donating, to maybe make it clear that it is being donated in MARCHELINE BERTRAND’S name, so that at least Angelina and Brad would know that there are a lot of us who are thinking of her and her mother.
**********************************

Many thanks >> TskTsk, think positive and briseis!!!

The only good thing I can see in this situation is that she has Brad and her babies to help her through this. I am not sure of her relationship with Brad’s family, but I am sure they with circle her and help her through this.
I am so sad for her, it’s like I lost my own mother.

I watched the E news hosted by Ryan Seacrest last night(Sat) and his last comments were something like…it’s SAG Sunday night, time to talk to celebrities and he added about asking them what they had for breakfast..and the stupid Guiliana added a little smirk(like..hint hint)..Oh…THOSE TWO ARE JUST VILE and THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES ESP. WHILE THEY WERE TALKING AND SMIRKING, ANGIE AND HER FAMILY WERE DEALING WITH THEIR MOM’S DEATH..SHAME ON THEM. I think Ryan/Guiliana are fakes and both just wants to ride on other people’s popularity bandwagons. I won’t watch E news ever. Maybe I’ll watch the 30 minutes segment that follows that since those girls there are more tolerable.

I am still thinking about Marcheline’s death. Yup, cancer is very unpredictable sometimes. My Dad suffered 4 years of cancer & there are times he was so uplifted you think he is not suffering from any ailment then suddenly he succumb. Now we know why…he stayed there long enough because he is waiting for my sister & his grandchildren to arrive here in Canada. After their arrival he got so much energy & after a month he died. I think Marcheline waited 7 years so she can guide Angie to a better future. Now she knows our Angie is in good hands of Brad & happy & after seeing the kids she finally realize her fight to see the betterment of her children is finally here so it’s time for her to go. Such a strong & loving mother. My thoughts & prayers to Ange & james.

When I read that she was just 56, the saddest memory of my life hit me again, I lost my father to cancer and he was only 53. He fought it for 6 years.

I can imagine what she and her brother are going through right now; it doesn’t matter how old you are when your parent passes away, you just feel like a little bird with a broken wing. You think that you won’t able to fly again, never high sky because you don’t feel safe enough without a parent.

Rest in peace Marcheline in heaven, rest in peace. I am sure that her two children will cherish the memories of her in the rest of their lives and keep her alive.

Angie has her own children to be hugged by. Nobody can replace a parent but now she is luckily a parent.

I am lost in my thoughts.

God bless them.

Thought I’d post what Marcheline said when Shiloh was born.

“My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina’s third child,” Bertrand tells PEOPLE., “Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way.”

June 19, 2006 PEOPLE (pg 76)

I wholeheartedly agree. Let us not respond to the vile, evil, deranged posters and their negativity, let us just think and post about Angie, her kids, Brad, James and the dear departed Marcheline. Let us be above all the vileness of people on this sad sad day!
