French actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Beverly Hills after a six-year battle with ovarian cancer.
Lea Hunter, who once dated Haven, told PEOPLE, Marcheline was beautiful, caring and totally devoted to her children. I never saw her upset or sad, even after she was diagnosed with cancer. She always treated me like a member of her family.
Brad Pitt, Angie, and her older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital at the time Bertrand passed away aged 56.
Bertrand, who had small roles in movies including 1983’s ‘The Man Who Loved Women,’ raised Jolie and brother Haven by herself after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.
Jon Voight was no where seen, as friends say Angelina didn’t contact him, because they have not spoken in five years.
According to a source quoted by The Sun,
Angie was dreading this moment. She felt she had already lost her father – and now her mom too.
