LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Marcheline Bertrand, 56, the mother of actress Angelina Jolie, has died after a long battle with ovarian cancer, US media reported.



A former actress and model, Bertrand reportedly died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

News reports said Jolie, her older brother James Haven, and her partner, Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, were at the hospital Saturday.

In media interviews, Jolie has credited her mother with encouraging her interest in acting.

A native of Chicago, Bertrand married Jolie's father, film star Jon Voight, in 1971. The couple separated in 1976, when Jolie was a toddler, and divorced two years later.

Bertrand, who raised Jolie and her brother in New York and California, had only modest movie roles, including the films "Lookin' to Get Out" in 1982 and "The Man Who Loved Women" in 1983.

Survivors include Jolie, Haven and Jolie's three children, Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh Nouvel

56 is way too young... ovarian cancer is one of the worst.
