Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand has died.

Marcheline, who had been battling ovarian cancer for more than seven years,
was with her son James Haven, Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt when she
passed away aged 56 on Saturday (01.27.07).

Angelina dashed across America to be with her mother when she heard her
condition had worsened.

She arrived at her mother's bedside in Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical
Center at 4pm on Saturday (01.27.07), four hours before Marcheline died at
8pm.

Marcheline had small roles in 1982 movie 'Lookin' to Get Out' and 'The Man
Who Loved Women' in 1983.



It is unlikely that Angelina would have contacted her estranged father Jon
Voight in the wake of her mother's death, as the pair haven't spoken for
five years.

Voight walked out on Marcheline when Angelina was a baby, leaving Marcheline
to bring up their children alone.

When Angelina's daughter Shiloh was born last May, Marcheline said: "My
heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina's
third child. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have
very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way."

A private funeral has been planned for Marcheline. The family have requested
no flowers or gifts - donations can be made to the Women's Cancer Research
Institute at Ceders-Sinai.

Regardless of what anyone has to say about her (which, I love Angelina completely), no one deserves to have their mother taken from them at such a young age. I can’t even imagine how I would feel if my mother died.

My heart goes out to her family.

This is so going to crush Angelina Jolie..

I lost my Mom when I was twenty eight and it’s been over twenty + years since then and I still miss her. 

Angelina’s had a lot of shit going down in the last year or two and I’m sure her mother’s death will take a toll on her like nothing else will.  I, for one, am glad that she has her children and Brad with her for comfort.  Maybe this might just be the bridge to starting relations with her Dad again…who knows.

May she rest in Peace….

Angelina, our prayers are with you and your family. Despite everything, i am sure this is a very difficult time for her. She claims to not like hugs or crying etc. BUT i am sure she will need allot of love right now from everyone.

May she rest in peace. At least she isnt suffering anymore.

My prayers and thoughts are with you, Angie.

Maybe she’ll finally try to repair her relationship with her dad. I think that would be wonderful.

My best wishes go out to Angie and her beautiful family. Soo tragic :(

My heart goes out to Angie and her family.

Maybe this will alos open Angies eyess to forgive her father for what he’s done to her.

Live to love and love to live.

R.I.P.Marcheline

This is very sad.  I’m not a big fan of Angie, but I still feel deeply for her.  It must be very sad to lose a parent.

My thoughts and prayers are with her. I lost my father in 1993 and I still miss him so terribly. It is so very tramatic to lose a parent. Nothing ever truly prepares you for it, even if they have been suffering with a lengthy illness. This is so sad.

My condolences go out to Angie & her family.May God give them the strength to stay strong in this terrible tragedy.
Three weeks ago I lost a very good friend of mine as well….it’s been really tough on everyone. Wish Angie all the best…

So very sad.  I’m going to call my Mom today and tell her I love her!

It’s sad when anyone dies and I feel bad that this woman had to struggle for that long and didn’t win the battle, or did she? She’s no longer suffering. 
But, I cannot feel sorry for Holie, just can’t do it. When I don’t like someone I won’t pretend to feel sorrow or anything for them.  It’s her mother I feel sorry for.

I feel bad & offer my condolences to her family. Hopefully this will build a bridge between her & her father cause she is mad that he cheated on her mom when she was younger. I am the type that don’t wish death on no one especially a family member

That really blows.

I like her and it is so awful that she was ill for so long…at least she got to say goodbye.

I know there are a lot of people that didn’ like or care for angelina, but i’m sure that whatever feelings they have for her isn’t as great as having her lose her mother. I myself don’t care for her but i don’t think i can imagine how it feels to lose a mother. I’ve lost a father, aunt, and recently a brother, so you never know what can happen because life can be soo short. I don’t feel sorry for her, but i do feel for her and her family.

This is so sad! I feel deeply sorry for Angie and her family…..and I miss my mom so much! Guess I need to take a break and visit my mom in LA…

Mom, I love you..and here I come!!!

Whether you hate her or love her, to know that she lost the one parent in her life that understood what being a parent meant, who supported her and loved her unconditionally as a mother should, should touch the human side of you enough to feel some form of sympathy for Angelina.  She’s lost something that many of us take for granted, and others never had, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Pache I agree with you completely. I feel sorry that her mother is gone and had to live suffering for so many years. But I am not about to fake feeling anything for Angelina. Not happening.

RIP Marcheline.

Pache and Dales06….when your own mothers die, I hope you get this very same support:

“It’s sad when anyone dies and I feel bad that this woman had to struggle for that long and didn’t win the battle, or did she? She’s no longer suffering.  But, I cannot feel sorry for you, just can’t do it. When I don’t like someone I won’t pretend to feel sorrow or anything for them.  It’s your mother I feel sorry for.

I feel sorry that your mother is gone and had to live suffering for so many years. But I am not about to fake feeling anything for you. Not happening.”

Wishing Angelina and her family all of the support and privacy they need at this time.  Maybe this tragic event can bring forgiveness between her and her father.  Life is waaaay too short.

My condolences goes out to Angelina and her brother….and John Voight, too.  Even though he and Angie didn’t speak-doesn’t mean that he might not have had a civil relationship with their mother. May God bless them and keep them in this hour of grief.

Dales06 and Pache I sooooo agree with you.  I won’t come on here acting or pretending like I have any concern for how this thing feels, it’s her mothers pain that I feel bad about. I wish no one had to suffer with cancer or any kind of condition but at least she more than likely got to say goodbye and that’s something a lot of people don’t get.

I love Angelina with all my heart and I feel so sorry for her and her family.  I have been fortunate enough to not have lost a loved one but I can’t imagine the great amount of pain that is.  My condolences go out to Angelina and her family.  Also, Jon Voight because there was a time where he onced loved Marcheline so I would assume that he would be hurt.

R.I.P. Marcheline, you’re in a place where there is no pain, no suffering, and no separation.

What is so hard about just leaving your condolences and that’s it? You don’t have to say what you feel about Angelina because this is not about Angelina it’s about someone losing their mother for Christ’s sake. Have some freaking compassion. Put your personal feelings aside for a damn moment and think how much it would hurt you to lose a parent and how much support you would need at that time. Be human for at least a day.

I know what it feels like to lose a parent because I lost my mother and my father. It is possibly the hardest thing you can go through especially when you are young. I wouldn’t wish that hurt on my worst enemy. You don’t have to change your feelings about you don’t like her and so on but just think about how you would be feeling at a time like this. I am sure the last thing you want is someone calling you a “ho” or “thing”. Jeez, some people….

    This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day.  You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.

    1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

    2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

    3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

    4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t li ke you.

    5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

    6. You mean the world to someone.

    7. You are special and unique.

    8. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.

    9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

    10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

    11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

    So…........If you are a loving friend, send this to everyone, including the one that sent it to you.  If you get it back, then they really do love you.

    And always remember…..when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

    Good friends are like stars….....You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.

    ” Whenever God Closes One Door He Always Opens Another, Even Though Sometimes It’s Hell in the Hallway”

    I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I’m here than a whole truck load when I’m gone.

Forward to all your friends, including me!  And don’t tell me you’re too busy for this…Don’t you know the phrase ” stop and smell the flowers” ?  See how many ” bouquets” you end up with!

I feel so bad for her loss. But i have to raise this very valid point. Why on earth is angelina traveling the globe while her ailing mother is dying? If you ask me, it doesnt make any sense. I would be spending every waking moment with her and the fact that angelina did not i think speaks volume towards her true character. My opinion but i still feel very sorry for her.

i totally agree with baby cakes.
ms,sleepy. wake up.
when you have children you have to care about and a job you have to do, there is only so much time you can spend with your family!
my dad’s father was very ill, but because we live on the other side of the globe due to my dad’s job, we rarley get to visit. when my father heard my grandpa’s condition was getting worse he immediatly flew. no doubt about it.
but he has to work and therefore he didn’t have time to “spend every waking moment” with his father. it says jack shit about my father’s true character because he loved his father or angelina jolie for that matter.
so please be considerate. and like baby cakes said. if you can’t just be objective and leave a simple condolence at such a harsh time for angie, then seriously, don’t bother.  slamming her down when she’s just lost her mother is really cool. lets hope someone does that when your mothers die.
have a nice day.
my condolences go out to angie and her family.
