During an interview with 60 minutes Bob Simon, Angelina Jolie talks about her mother Marcheline Bertrand.
"My mom, her name was Marcheline, but everyone called her marshmallow, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world. She was really, really sweet, and she would never get angry. She couldn't swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was just really, really fierce".
"She was an extraordinary mother. She was so selfless, and she was just one of those very, very kind people that love to do everything for others. And I could just never be as good a mother or person as she was. She was a great listener, and a great friend. She was my best friend. I could talk to her about everything. She made me feel like I had a voice, and no matter what would happen, I knew she'd love me."
"My mother was a full-time mother. She didn't have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences. Everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. I will try my best, but I don't think I could ever be. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving... She's better than me".
Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie are blood related. Both of them are 9th cousins, twice removed through a common relative they share who happens to be Jean Cusson of St. Sulpice, Quebec.
During an appearance on Ellen Degeneres, Hilary Clinton nodded when Ellen tells that both Hilary and Angelina are cousins.
Then Hilary complimented Angelina, saying, "I really admire what she's doing on behalf of, you know, charity and HIV/AIDS and a lot of work around the world".
