Today, May 9th, would have been the 73rd birthday of Marcheline Bertrand, the late mother of actress Angelina Jolie. Bertrand passed away 15 years ago after battling breast and ovarian cancer.

In commemoration of her mother’s birthday, Jolie took to social media to share a rare archival photo of herself as a toddler with her mother. Alongside the photo, Jolie shared a poignant message urging her followers to prioritize their health by undergoing regular screenings such as mammograms to detect diseases early.

It’s worth noting that Jolie is actively involved in charitable work related to women’s health. However, in January, it was reported that she had to close her foundation supporting women affected by violence due to financial challenges. Established in 2015 in collaboration with former British Foreign Secretary William Hague, the organization aimed to provide aid to vulnerable women.

In late March, following her split from Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, who had been single for some time, was photographed enjoying a romantic outing with David Meyer de Rothschild, a billionaire heir from a prominent family.
