All of our hearts and prayers go out to Angie who has lost her mother to cancer yesterday.

RIP Marcheline.

The mother of Angelina Jolie, Marcheline Bertrand died yesterday after fighting with cancer for over seven years.

Ms. Bertrand, a Canadian-American actress of Spanish and Québécois descent, died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Jolie, Brad Pitt, and Jolie's older brother James Haven were at the hospital yesterday.

Bertrand, 56, who had a few bit parts in '80s films, studied with Lee Strasberg, and raised Jolie and Haven after she seperated from Jon Voight in 1975 and divorced him three years later.

Instead of flowers, the family asks donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars.
