This video footage of Angelina Jolie’s mom, French actress, Marcheline Bertrand in 1980 shows a healthy, vibrant and beautiful woman like her famous daughter Angelina Jolie, currently is now. The world was at Bertrand’s feet.
Bertrand sadly died young after a 7 year battle with cancer, in 2007.
With the death too of Farrah Fawcett, we all need to be aware that cancer claims lives, irrespective of class, race or creed. We all need to be mindful that the disease whose only prevention begins at early detection, at this current point in medical science, needs a lot of research.
Bertrand was a selfless soul, who quit acting to raise her two children to Jon Voight. Her life’s message is, that there is no greater role a human being can play, than parenting their children with love. What a powerful legacy Marcheline Bertrand left in the world.
When her granddaughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was born, she 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.”
What great words to leave behind for her family. She’s a bright star, that is still shining. Thanks MB!
