Angelina Jolie shares family holiday footage in special tribute to her late mother


January 27, 2010

Exactly three years after Angelina Jolie and James Haven lost their mother Marcheline Bertrand, brother and sister have come together to create a tribute to the late actress. A montage assembled from old family videos, posted by the mum-of-six and her elder sibling, has appeared on YouTube showing the trio on holiday in Hawaii in 1981.In the short clip, Marcheline – who was married to Angelina's actor father Jon Voight from 1971 until 1980 – is seen playing with her children on the beach. One shot shows her teaching a six-year-old Angelina how to hula down by the waves, and later she is seen larking around in a hotel room.

 The composition, which is set to a rendition of Somewhere over the Rainbow, begins with the message: "One place Marcheline loved was Hawaii. She made such happy memories for her family there." It closes with the words: "We miss you Mom, With love Angelina and James. January 27 2010. 1950-2007."

 Marcheline – whose famous daughter bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother – passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer. And in 2008, Brad Pitt and his beautiful partner, 34, named one of their biological twins in her honour.
