Bertrand died Saturday afternoon
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Jolie said in a news release. No age was
provided.
Jolie, her older brother, James Haven, and her boyfriend, Brad Pitt, were at
the hospital Saturday, according to the news release.
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.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the Women's
Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai.
