Angelina Jolie Reveals Touching Tribute to Late Mom

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 27th 2010 06:12AM

Amid all of the split allegations, Angelina Jolie is making headlines in a more emotional and heartfelt capacity, as the superstar and her brother James have unveiled a video tribute to their late mother, Marcheline Bertrand. Bertrand, who had Jolie with actor Jon Voight, passed away from ovarian cancer on January 27, 2007. Today marks the three year anniversary of her passing.

The video, which opens with a title card that reads: "One place Marcheline always love was Hawaii ... She made many happy memories for her family there." In the tribute, home videos purportedly from 1981 show a then-six-year-old Jolie and her brother playing on the beach. Bertrand introduces her children on the video, and is then seen dancing the hula with Jolie on the beach.

After many more clips of Bertrand in Hawaii, the video closes with the statement: ""We Miss You Mom... With Love Angelina and James."

As Jolie's fame skyrocketed, she often credited her mother with being the key figure in her family. Jolie has always had a difficult relationship with her father, actor Jon Voight.

Following Bertrand's death, Jolie gave a revealing interview to Ann Curry on 'Today,' saying that her mother "was extraordinary, so full of kindness and love." Jolie also said that she hopes to one day be "even a sliver of what my mother was."

"She was one of those women who would spend weeks to plan the right birthday party ... And to write four drafts to get the right birthday card ready that said all those things that were emotional, and you could save them and that meant something," Jolie said of her mother.

Angelina: Whether you are able to read this or not ... my daughter had the pleasure of meeting your father at Disneyland (where she and I both work) over the holidays. He loves you.

LOL! Yeah I'm real poisonous! Just stating the facts people! Has she or has she not slept with men that were not hers? She portrays herself as a saint when there is also a very dark side.
We all have one.

Wow...Angelina looks A LOT like her Mom. I can see it in her eyes and some expressions in her face. What a beautiful woman! Both of them. Losing your Mom is not easy and I doubt the pain will entirely go away, but sharing a video like these can help.
