BEIJING, Jan. 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Marcheline
Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, has died of cancer, her daughter
said Sunday in a news release. No age was given.
Bertrand died Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Jolie, her older brother, James Haven, and her
boyfriend, Brad Pitt, were at the hospital Saturday, according to the news
release.
Bertrand, who had small roles in the movies "Lookin’
to Get Out" in 1982 and "The Man Who Loved Women" in 1983, raised Jolie and her
brother after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie
was a toddler.
A private funeral was planned.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations
be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
