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.

Thanks ntt, they look so much alike. I am still in shock, so sad
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.
kiki, thank you . I still have no idea what post was misinterpreted.

My condolences to you and everyone else who has lost a loved one to cancer.
My mother’s friend, whom I knew well, also recently died from the illness :(
Ya know, I think all the BAMZS fans wanted a new thread, but I’d rather not have one than have one like this :(
I really feel for Angie and Jame for what they must be going through now, as I am remebering the most awful time when I lost my dearest, precious mum.
Original jpf….thank you for posting that comment from Marcheline re Shiloh’s birth. That was so beautiful.
I cannot help tearing up over this heartbreaking news, although I’m sure Marcheline must have been at peace to know that her daughter was in a loving relationship, and was able to be at her side at the end. My thoughts and prayers surround them.
Keep the love comming BAMZSers!! Ingore the hate completely.
Lets all show our deepest support for this family that needs it more than any time before. And lets make lots of donations to the hospital.
May all our strength love and campassion will pass to them!!
God bless them!!
My condolences to Angie and her entire family. It’s very sad. I’m glad that she has Brad and James there to help her through her grief.
Going through this will definitely strengthen Angie and Brad’s bond…Prayers for their families.
Thanks Lily. I think many of us has a relative or a friend whom we lost to cancer. This is one of the worst diseases. It must be some belated shock, I’m crying now.
Oh, I am so saddened by this news. I was so hoping that Marcheline would beat the it. This is just so sad. My heart and prayers are with Angie, James, Brad and the children, and all those who loved Marcheline.
