Angelina Jolie's mother Marcheline Bertrand (Right) has died. Marcheline, who had been battling ovarian cancer for more than seven years,was with her son James Haven, Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt when she passed away aged 56 on Saturday. Angelina dashed across America to be with her mother when she heard her condition had worsened. She arrived at her mother's bedside in Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 4pm on Saturday, four hours before Marcheline died at 8pm. Marcheline had small roles in 1982 movie 'Lookin' to Get Out' and 'The Man Who Loved Women' in 1983. It is unlikely that Angelina would have contacted her estranged father Jon Voight in the wake of her mother's death, as the pair haven't spoken for five years.Voight walked out on Marcheline when Angelina was a baby, leaving Marcheline to bring up their children alone.When Angelina's daughter Shiloh was born last May, Marcheline said: "My heart is overflowing with joy with the new arrival of Brad and Angelina's third child. Maddox, Zahara and Shiloh are deeply loved children. They have very kind and caring parents who love and support each other in every way."A private funeral has been planned for Marcheline. The family have requested no flowers or gifts - donations can be made to the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Ceders-Sinai.
