Marcheline Bertrand Passes Away

Marcheline Bertrand, 56, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, passed away on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Bertrand had battled cancer for over seven-and-a-half years. She died surrounded by her children, Angelina and son James Haven, as well as Jolie's partner, Brad Pitt.

"Marcheline was beautiful, caring and totally devoted to her children. I never saw her upset or sad, even after she was diagnosed with cancer," said Lea Hunter who once dated Haven.

A private funeral is planned, and the family requests that in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
