"This is a woman who had watched her mother, aunt and grandmother become sick and eventually succumb, all at an early age. Her drive, her absolute value in herself, is defined by the impact she can have during her time here: for her kids and for the underprivileged and those suffering injustices."
Angelina also spoke about the heartbreaking experience of breast and ovarian cancer with her own mother. She said that as a child she was always worried about her mother due to her sickness. She made it clear that she doesnt want that happen to her children.

Angelina described her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who lost her own mother at a young age and whose acting ambitions were never realized, as "the greatest mother", from whom she learned a lot in her life. Her father, actor Jon Voight, famously left her mother when Angelina was still a toddler."
"By the Sea" stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is the story of a couple whose marriage is in deep crisis. Angelina wrote the script after her mother died in 2007.
"I didn't really know if I could make film and I didn't think I could write the film, so I wrote with a certain amount of freedom, I gave myself the task that it would be about grief and how different people react to and process it," said Jolie in an interview with Wall Street Journal Magazine, who is also the UN Ambassador for Refugees. The movie releases on November 13, 2015.
