A Death in the Family for Jolie

Angelina Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died Saturday afternoon at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Associated Press reports.

Bertrand, who had endured a long-term battle with cancer, was 56. According to a family statement, Jolie, 31, her older brother, James Haven, and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, were at the hospital when Bertrand passed away.

"Angelina came to visit her two weekends ago and spent the afternoon with her in her room," a source at Beverly Hills' Raffles L'Ermitage hotel, where Bertrand kept a residence, tells Usmagazine.com.

Bertrand, a former actress, raised Jolie and her brother as a single mother after she and Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight divorced in 1978. She appeared in the movies Lookin' to Get Out in 1982 and The Man Who Loved Women in 1983. A private funeral is planned. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars Sinai.
