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.

I hope posters heed Alexanderina’s & tabitha’s suggestions, and if I may add one of my own, could the names of those who don’t factor into this sad turn of events also be left at the door of this thread, and I think it can be clearly figured out who I’m speaking of. This is only a request/suggestion.

I am soo shocked and saddened to hear this news. I feel so horrible for Angie and her brother, James. I know Angelina was so close to her mother, and I don’t even want to imagine what she is going through right now. My best wishes to her and her family. I hope she gets through this very difficult time knowing that her mom will always be with her in her heart. Stay strong for the kids, Angie!! You have a wonderful family who loves and supports you, and with them you’ll get through this!

~~Again, best wishes to Angie, James, and their whole family~~

I am all for ignoring the Haters today. Let’s take it a step further though and ignore them ALWAYS! If we don’t respond, which is what they(actually it is the Chin) want, then they(Chin) will eventually give up.

It’s saddest news ever to hear since I became to one of Angelina’s fans. Hope God give Angie strength to get through the toughest time of her life. I can’t imagine loosing a parent when the children of mine are still young. Hope Brad give her strongest support. I believe that’ll make them even stronger and bond them tighter. Wish the press can leave the family alone this time around.

I am saddened by this news, I know that it is never easy to deal with the loss of a loved one, no matter how much advance warning you may have. I am glad Angie has such a wonderful support in Brad. He will surround her with his love and help her through it. I am glad he and the children are in her life. This is another life even that will draw them closer together.

Tosusie, you’ve made a mistake, Susie is a BAMZSfan.

I’m still in shock. Cancer is a beast, one of my friends died in cancer recently, and for a long time it seemed that she was getting better. She died so suddenly.
I hope Ryan Seacrest and the other idiots in the entertainment media feel ashamed. If they are capable of it.

I believe that the people who do hate the Jolie-Pitts will not celebrate the death of a parent.

No, I don’t think that they would do that! Not that!

My condolences to Angelina and her family. Since I’ve recently lost my mother from cancer and since I was close to her too & tried my best to please her, I believe I can say that Angelina has done ALL things possible (and even more) to make her mother proud of her and leave this world in peace. Angelina has to make sure she will continue to live up to the standards her mother (and surely herself too) wished for her, providing she keeps being happy. Only that way B. will remain alive.

p.s. eat a little…you’ll still look fine!

I have been visiting this site for the last several weeks and I have found it very entertaining. I have grown into a big fan of both Angelina and Brad. I respect them for what they stand for and for the fact that they act on their convictions and do not just play the media game. I am posting today because I want to join with all decent people who wish Angelina strenght and peace in this her time of loss. I am thankful that she is with Brad and has her own family who I am sure will help to sustain her. I believe that God puts us in certain situations to prepare us for what will come. I agree with a previous poster who feels that Angelina’s experience with the UN will assist her in getting through this difficult time.
