Angelina Jolie might be a mother of six, but she's also a daughter who lost her own mother, Marcheline Bertrand, to cancer in 2007.
The Changeling star was recently close to tears after telling London journalists about her beloved mom, who had "that elegance and strength for knowing what was right."

Angie, who brought her four-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox, with partner Brad Pitt, to London, also said she was looking forward to a "big family Christmas" with her growing brood – and that the busy parents would be expanding their family even more.
