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 crying right now, because I am remembering the loss of my precious mama. I know what Angie and James are going through right now. I’ve been there. You live with a broken heart, forever.
My heart and prayers go out to Angie, James, Brad, the children, and others who loved her. Rest in peace, Marcheline.
My sympathy and prayers to Angelina,Brad their beautiful children and James, even though she has been ill for quite some time, still the death of your mother is hard and difficult either way. So happy Ms. Bertrand was able to enjoy her grandchildren especially shiloh, I feel she is at peace knowing her daughter has found happiness and joy especially since her childhood was admittedly troubled at times. Angelina loved and adored her mother and for this she will be blessed. I pray she and her father Jon Voight will be able to reconcile. God bless this family.

I am so sorry about your loss as well, may your mom rest in peace. I still have my mom and I don’t know what I would do if I loss her
This is very sad news. I almost feel like a member of my family has passed. I really idolize and love everything that Angie stands for. She is real special. My deepest condolences and upmost sympathy to Angie, James, Brad, Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh. The children will not get to know their grandmother. I hope Angie keeps her memory alive for them, which I’m sure she will. I hope Brad is there for Angie in her time of mourning and need. We all know how independent she is, so I hope she takes comfort from her family as much as she can. Marcheline was a beautiful woman. She had to be! Look at Angie! God bless them all and may Marcheline rest in peace!
My heart goes out to Angie, James, Brad and the kids. 7 1/2 years is a long battle, and she seemed to fight with dignity and grace. Thankfully she lived long enough to see her daughter happy, loved, have a family, a good man and find her place in this world. That really had to give peace. RIP Marcheline, you and your family are in my prayers
My condolences to her family
This is so heartbreaking. The tears keep coming even though I had never met the woman. I am happy she lived long enough to see her daughter become a citizen of the world, and to also see her grandchildren, Angie having found peace in her life would also have been a comfort for her.
My thoughts and prayers to Angie, James and their whole extended family.
Well, we all gathered here with joy last May after Shiloh is born, and it’s nice there is a place to come to for this sad news. At least Marcheline saw her beautiful grandchildren. She raised Angelina very well.
All the magazines, new york post columnist, blogs, entertainment shows etc etc who initiated and participated in the angelina backlash of past should be ashamed! Your vulture attitude, for the latest scoop - as only shown you all for the shallow cretans that you are. Angelina should be grateful for having a job, she hates hollywood, blah, blah, blah - and all the time the woman instead was having to fight a momentous battle of her own, on the brink of her losing her support system, her life-line and the one person who has been with her from the first breath she took - and all Ryan Seacrest could B**** about was that she supposedly was not effusive enough to his comments?????! I would ask you if you are ashmaed, but the truth is you are probably so far gone is your own self glorification that you probably dont even know what it feels like to be human.
My heart goes out to James and all the Jolie-Pitts. I am warmed by the fact that she got to know her first three grandchildren. These losses are devastating; a hole is left in the grown child’s life (unfortunately, I have reason to know that particular pain). May those who loved Marcheline comfort one another in honor, love, and memory.
My condolences to Angie and her family. I feel like she’s one of my relatives, I don’t even know her, I’m so sad for Angie…I really am… =(
This is devastating news. Condolences to the entire family. Marcheline was far too young to leave this earth but lived long enough to see Angelina happy and with her own family. The spirit of Marcheline lives on in Angelina. RIP. My prayers are with this family.
My deepest condolences go to Angie, James, Brad and children at this time. May the Lord console and streghthen all of you at this difficult time. May the Lord grant you peace.
I too am saddened to read this news. My own mother is still alive, so I can only imagine the pain one must feel. Many of you have beautifully expressed your condolences and sympathies, which I am sure Marcheline’s family would be comforted by. Isn’t it a miracle they were able to be together for her.
God bless them all.
My sincere and deepest condolences to Angie and family.
I do think Marcheline was happy to see Angie with her great family and in peace.
My heart felt apologies to Angie, James and the entire Jolie-Pitt family. I hope Angie finds comfort in the fact that her mom is no longer in pain. Angie is one of the strongest women in Hollywood and she will be fine with Brad by her side.
I am truly sadden by the news of Marcheline’s death. May God bless her soul.

I, too, am sorry to hear of Ms. Jolie’s loss. My Mom has ovarian cancer, too, and I’ve become an advocate for the Awareness and Education of Ovarian Cancer. This past September, I lobbied on Capitol Hill for the passing of the Johanna’s Law which will allocate $16.5 million towards such a cause. We, NOCC & OCNA, need people such as Ms. Jolie to jump on board with us and let our VOICES BE HEARD. Ovarian Cancer is a SILENT KILLER. Please don’t allow any more “Moms” to die in vain.
*********************
When you get a chance I would love to learn more about your efforts to pass Johanna’s Law. I’m sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear about AJ’s mom. AJ thought so highly of her mother that it must she must be devastated. However, AJ is a strong woman who has the love of her family. Let’s all pray for them at this time of grief. God bless each and everyone of them.
Those ******** at E! Owe her a damn apalogy…….I’m making a vid right now..for angie and her mom..i’m so sad
God bless that woman’s heart for all she went throgh

My condolences to the family, at least she got to see that Angelina was building a life with the children and Brad. She was so young to die.
my heart stopped for a second when i read this headline. this must be devastating for her. all i can think is…my god i’m so sorry
May God bless You and Your Lovely Family Angelina and keep you all in his sights as you work through this difficult time.
May you take refuge and comfort in the arms of the ones who love you.
so sadden by her mother’s death. the thing with death is it is so final. there are no do overs. after losing my father to cancer in august things you didn’t say and wish you had take over. during the midst of everything i remained calm, but everythng hit me that he was gone two weeks later after his burial. I realized he was gone, but i also realized he was in a better place. A place where there is no suffering.
Thanks Jared for editing the hateful posts. I commend the BAMZS fans for mourning the death of Angie’s beloved mother and for respecting Angie’s mom passing. I am sorry for answering that hateful post. I just cannot control myself. I will offer a prayer for Angie’s mom. I am a catholic like her and we believe in the second life and the rewards of heaven.
I agree that E! and Ryan Douchebag S. should send an ENORMOUS donation in Marcheline’s name to the charity mentioned. In fact, let’s e-mail them tell them to do so.
to preggy - another poster who couldn’t clean up her mouth before posting. Name calling and vile language are not welcome on this thread. Ranters keep your thoughts to yourself.
