Both of Angelina Jolie’s parents were actors. However, she was not always on the good terms with her father. Unlike her father, Jolie had a special bond with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

Considering she had a very good relationship with her mother, the Wanted star was devastated after losing her in 2007.

Marcheline Bertrand passed away after being diagnosed with ovarian and breast cancer in 2007.

Over a decade after her passing, The Tourist star opened up about losing her mother in a New York Times article. She shared that the loss of her mother changed so much for her.

“Losing a mother’s love and warm, soft embrace is like having someone rip away a protective blanket,” Jolie explained. She also shared how Marcheline Bertrand “loved to laugh” and knew exactly how to cheer her when she felt down.

The Taking Lives star also shared how she has also been able to realize how lonely her mother would have been, but even in the hardest time, she wanted to make sure that her children were all right.
