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.

Angie said it best. No one should suffer a toxic person in one’s life.
To me it doesn’t matter if that person is related by blood.
i like this song from Spice Girls :
Mama by Spice Girls
She used to be my only enemy and never let me free,
Catching me in places that I know I shouldn’t be,
Every other day I crossed the line,
I didn’t mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would
Become the friend I never had
Back then I didn’t know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
all that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend
I didn’t want to hear it then but
I’m not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you said and did was right for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
About the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of my responsibility.
Back then I didn’t know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All that you did was love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend, My friend
But now I’m sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All I can give you is love,
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
My friend
Mama I love you, Mama I care,
Mama I love you, Mama my friend,
You’re my friend

Thanks MF. Thank you JJ and all BAMZS’ fans around the world.
Angie’s godmother British actress Jacqueline Bisset has been in a long term relationship with a Turkish gentleman for quite a while now. How about that?
smfh.
EXTRA has also been nice to Brad and Angelina.
I don’t know if any news has been made public since they are having a private funeral but does anyone know where Marcheline will be interred and when? I wanted to light a candle for her on the day of her burial.
I learn so much from reading all the posts. I love the ourpouring support the BAMZS fans show to this family. My respect for them grows each time when I come to this site. Rest in Peace, Marcheline, you’ve raised your daughter well. My prayers will always be with Angie and the family.
My condolences to Angie, Jamie and family.
My love to to Brad, Angie and the children.

Joy, Estelle talked me in to staying and posting until I leave for Turkey in March .Well actually Estelle threatened to call me the X (as in X-mayor), just that term “X” freaked me out. She knew how to yank my chain, hey Estelle you know I love you but can’t help teasing you.
I wish one of our talented video makers will make one dedicated to Angie Jaames and their Mom….
So, until than I’ll give the link to Amaya’s great video. I think this one shows that Brad’s love will take our Angie through this sad and difficult times…

If it’s a private funeral, I think we should be sensitive and NOT post any funeral info on this public site.
you can still light a candle. it’s very sweet of you.
Extra TV and ET have always been nice to Angie.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any disrespect. It’s an informal custom in my family to light a candle for the deceased on the day they are buried. But I understand what you mean about respecting the family’s request that it be kept private.
my condolences to ange family. her mom wll be missed but her legacy will live on ange.
Dont post any info where and when the funeral is unless it’s made public
We DONT want the paparazzy
I love that Ryan Seacrest, Funny guy. I wonder if he will be attenting the funeral, i wonder if he even wants to go. being a busy guy, he probably doesnt even have time. i need to find out where he got that Jacket he had on tonights episode of E [the best entertainment news on tv]
Are there TWO Fug Face Manistons???
People mentioning JV are laying ground work to be upset say JV isn’t invited to the funeral.
You know how some have said that tabs lurk here, how much do you want to guess the next tabloid article will be about JV and whether Angie wants him to attend the funeral?

Amen, O2. Why people insist on forcing a relationship with JV upon Angie is beyond me. That was an A and B convo and as far as I can C (hey, I can do cutesy, too)…it ain’t nobody else’s business. She’s said all she’s going to say on the subject, so let it lie unless she brings it up again. Furthermore, it’s amazes me me how these buttinskies, who don’t know what actually happened been Angie and her father, have the nerve to judge Angelina. Why aren’t they judging Jon Voight? Why aren’t they asking what has this man done that was so reprehensible than his CHILDREN have cut him off completely. Because someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Angie’s brother speaks to Voight any longer either. They need to stop looking at it this like it’s Angie’s fault. Did they miss the part where SHE’S the child and Voight is the parent? He’s the one who’s supposed to lead by example. Obviously his example led Angie to cut him out of her life, so get a clue people.

I have tried to find the post where it talks about the way Angie’s mother handle her going off on her first UNHCR mission and the special message James send to her.
Now compare what her donor did to her.

=====================================================
Wow, now I understand why Angie felt the way she did toward her dad. I would’ve done the same thing and some if my father behave like that. I wondered why JV didn’t speak up for his daughter when the idot Trump ran his mouth against Angie while back. It’s really shame Angie’s father an idiot.
I’m sorry about your mommy, Angie. I pray God will take care of you during this difficult time.

No, it’s not karma……….it’s called the LIFE CYCLE you heartless moron.
Why don’t you leave if don’t like it here? Don’t get “pissed” because we aren’t talking about what ever the hell you want us to talk about. JJ and other blogs have plenty of different topics you might be more interested in. I don’t know why you would want to talk about kfed, but whatevah makes you happy, man.
