Angelina Jolie Cries Paying Tribute to Mother

Angelina Jolie broke down in tears at a London press conference yesterday as she paid tribute to her late mother.

The Oscar-winning actress grew teary-eyed as she recalled how difficult she found it to play a mother in her latest film The Changeling, which was filmed shortly after her mum Marcheline Bertrand died in January 2007.

Fighting back the tears, Angelina said:

“Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world.

She was really sweet and was never angry – she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this (film) is very much her, her story.

She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength for knowing what was right.”

Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt flew in from the U.S. to the capital this week to promote her latest film. It appeared the strain of their busy schedule and roles as parents to six children were getting to the glamorous couple, who looked visibly tired last night.
