Angelina Jolie Shares Childhood Photo & Remembers Late Mom Who Died Of Cancer
Angelina Jolie is known as one of the most beautiful and talented actresses in Hollywood, but what many people don’t know about her is that she comes from a family of actors. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, was an actress and producer, and her father, Jon Voight, is an Academy Award-winning actor.
Unfortunately, Angelina’s mother passed away 15 years ago after a long battle with breast and ovarian cancer. To honor her mother’s memory, Angelina took to Instagram to share a childhood photo of herself with her mother and wrote a heartfelt message urging her followers to take care of their health.
“Tomorrow would have been my mother’s 73rd birthday. She passed away 15 years ago, after a long struggle with breast and ovarian cancer,” she wrote. “Please take the time to look after yourself and go for your mammograms and blood tests or ultrasounds, particularly if you have a family history of cancer #worldovariancancerday.”
Angelina’s message is a powerful reminder of the importance of being proactive about our health. It’s easy to put off doctor’s appointments and health screenings, but early detection can be the key to successful treatment and recovery.
In addition to her message, Angelina’s childhood photo with her mother is a touching reminder of the special bond between mother and daughter. It’s clear that Marcheline Bertrand was a loving and devoted mother, and her memory lives on through Angelina and her siblings.
As we observe World Ovarian Cancer Day, let us take Angelina’s words to heart and prioritize our health. Let us also remember those who have lost their lives to this devastating disease and honor their memory by taking action to prevent it.
