Marcheline Bertrand


Marcia Lynne Marcheline Bertrand was an American actress and producer. She was the former wife of actor Jon Voight and the mother of actors Angelina Jolie and James Haven.

Bertrands father was of French Canadian descent, and her mother was of Dutch and German ancestry, with ancestors who had immigrated to the United States in the mid19th century. Bertrand claimed to be of Iroquois ancestry through her fathers line, although her only known Native American ancestor is a Huron woman born in 1649 in presentday Quebec. According to her daughter, Bertrand was often wrongly identified as a French actress because of her name she said, My mom is as far from French Parisian as you can get. She grew up in a bowling alley that my grandparents owned.
