Angelina Jolie’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand dies at age 56
The mother of Angelina Jolie and James Haven, Marcheline Bertrand, succumbed to her battle with cancer Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Angie, James and Brad were all at the hospital at the time of the Canadian-American’s death.
Marcheline, married Angie and Jame’s father, Jon Voight in 1975, the marriage only lasted 3 years. She had small roles in movies including 1983’s The Man Who Loved Women.
When granddaughter Shiloh was born in May, Bertrand told PEOPLE: “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.”
The family asks that donations be made to the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars. A small private service will be held.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family in their time of sorrow.
If any other information is made available I will update this website.
