Los Angeles - Marcheline Bertrand, actress and mother of Angelina Jolie, has died of cancer, her daughter said on Sunday.
Bertrand died on Saturday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after a 7 1/2-year battle with cancer, Jolie said in a statement released by her manager. No age was provided.
Jolie, Brad Pitt and her older brother, James Haven, were at the hospital on Saturday, the statement said.
Bertrand, who had small roles in the movies Lookin' to Get Out in 1982 and The Man Who Loved Women in 1983, raised Jolie and her brother after divorcing their father, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, when Jolie was a toddler.
A private funeral was planned.
