LOS ANGELES Angelina Jolie's mother has died.

Marcheline Bertrand died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after a seven-year battle with cancer, according to a statement released by Jolie's manager. No age was given, but the Internet Movie Database says Bertrand was 56.

The statement says Jolie, Brad Pitt and her older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital.

As an actress, Bertrand had small roles in the movies "Lookin' to Get Out" in 1982 and "The Man Who Loved Women" in 1983. She raised Jolie and her brother after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.

A private funeral is planned.

This is really awful news and my prayers go out to Angelina and her family.I know she was very very close to her mother.I lost a very special person in my life yesterday as well,so I know what she must be going through.

 

[smartarse]

wow. she battled long and hard. it's good she got to see her first grandchild

this must be the reason why angelina was caught crying as she drove away after she left her mother's place (captured by yours truly, the paps )... must've heard the awful news that her mother had only few months...

Brad and Angelina's not at the SAG awards...?

I'm really sad for Angelina. Hope she and her family is okay.. I can't imagine how it is to lose your mom :'( My prayers go to her and her family.

I feel her condition must have worsened quickly, b/c it was only a few days ago Brad and Angie were photographed in New Orleans, and I'm sure that if Angie knew that her mother didn't have much time to live she would have been right there with her. So very sad for their family. She was still very young and could have been around to see her grandkids as adults had she not been sick.
