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.

MY condolences to Jolie-pitt family.
I’m very shocked.
Thank you, those who gave links for donating money. I am going to donate in Marcheline’s name. Angie needs to know that her fans care.

I’m still in shock, I honestly don’t know what to say. I’m glad AJ has BP….he is now her rock.
I support the idea that we ignore the crazy posts.
=====================================================
I know AG, same here with me and I don’t know what to say or do. And I am so glad that she have Brad to be there for her and to lean on in this difficult time. He is definitely her rock
R.I.P., Marcheline. Cancer is a teribble thing. My grandmother had it, and it was a painful few years that she struggled with it, so at least now Ms. Bertrand will be free of the pain. She lived long enough to enjoy her three grandchildren, and that’s what matters.
I just also want to add that this must have come on so suddenly, for I recall last week, Weds. perhaps, there was that photo of her smiling in New Orleans picking up Maddox from school.
So suddenly it appears, it turned..
Blessings, blessings, blessings to all.
This is just so sad.
I am so glad Angelina has James, Brad and the kids.
I was so sorry to hear this news. My God Bless and give James, Angie and her family strength and peace during these difficult times. Rest in peace Marchelline, Rest in Peace.
I am sorry to hear this sad news.
May her soul rest in peace.
It is so great to have this board to go to, during these times and to post and to read everyone else’s posts..I too am grateful for all the loving expressed.
Another thought I had, is I recall recently someone interviewing Angie and asking her if she knew how beautiful she was, and her response was something to the effect of, well I look like my mother, so that makes me glad..Something like that.
Does anyone recall this interview? It was recently and possibly an oversees publication.
What a wonderful mom Angie always made Marcheline out to be….thankfully she is out of pain and has passed with the knowledge that her daughter has found happiness and fulfillment at last…perhaps a reconciliation of sorts with Jon Voight will occur, and they can live peacefully. I am no fan of JV, but perhaps now he will meet Zee and Shi and Mad, and broken hearts can be mended all around. May Marcheline’s death bring about healing for the whole family.
Alexanderina….ITA and I am glad as well that Angie has Brad to help her
through this sad time. I know what it is like to loose your mother. I know the pain
she must be feeling.
My heart is broken.Marceline Bertrand was a wonderful mother and a very special lady.May she rest in peace.My heart goes out to Angelina and her family because i know how it feels to lose someone you love.Marceline was only 56,but at least she left knowing that her daughter has found true love and meaning in her life.That must have been a comfort in her last moments.She will be in my prayers tonight.
All of us,Angie’s fans,will always remember her as the woman who raised this wonderful human being,Angelina.

Rest in Peace Marcheline. You did a wonderful job with raising big hearted kids, even though you did it alone.
The survival of refugees has taught our Angie alot. She has shared their plan, been in awe of their survival, and dedicated to their cause. Because of this, she will get through. Her mama has been sick for a long time and am sure their were aware that it would be soon. In the midst of all of this, Angie has not stopped the kind hearted woman, trying to help others. She loved her mama soooo much, but right now, she is celebrating the woman that her mama was. A wonderful soul indeed coz she bore and raised wonderful kids. May she rest in peace
And this shows me that all we argue and fight about is worthless life changing things are happening everyday, and this should be not only the time to mourn wit
Angie and her family but also a time to say what the hell am i argiuing over life is so short i will make a difference which would last forever, abuses don’t and criticisms surely don’t.
This is so sad, so very sad. She was way too young. I’m sorry for Angie and hope that at least she has the comfort of Brad and her children.

You sure made a good point.
My condolences to Angie n James. May they find the strength and courage in the beautiful and brave fight their mother has shown through all her struggle. I am simply glad that she has seen Shiloh very she rested in peace. she would surely be missed especially by the succeeding children to come. cancer has claimed so much lives but it has created so much bravery in women.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Angelina, James and their family at this difficult time.
There are really no words that can make this better.
Much love is being sent your way.
I really feel for Maddox. I was around Maddox age when one of my brother died of Leukemia. It was the first time I experienced death to someone so close. Shiloh is too young to even know what is going on. Zahara is still young herself so I’m not sure, but Maddos is 5 1/2 so he probably feels more of a loss than his siblings do.
poor angie. sucks that the babies have lost a grandma, and of course that angie has lost someone so close to her. :( maybe this will lighten up the angie backlash. one can hope
Those four pics of Angie at the art gallery this past Friday look like she was getting a bad phone call :( It makes me so sad to see Ang like that :(
Oh my God! So young. So sad. This is terrible news. My prayers to the family.
Iam so sad for Angie…
But i know that she is very loved right now. This will help her…

*****************************
My heart goes out to Angelina and her family. I can’t imagine what she is going through right now. I agree with you and I am so sad to hear the news. I lost my mother to ovarian cancer last year. She said that she would be ready for heaven after my wedding. She died less than a month after our wedding. She fought for over 2 years and died at the age of 62. I’m the youngest of 3 girls and very close to my mother. I miss her everyday, but I know that she is in a better place…there is no more suffering. My prayer goes out to Angelina and her family. May Angelina and family find peace and comfort they need during this tough period. God bless you Angelina and your whole family!
