Jolie confirms mother is battling cancer

Angelina Jolie has confirmed her mother is battling ovarian cancer, but she expects her to win her fight against the disease.

Taping an upcoming chat with CNN chat show host Larry King, the actress insists her 56-year-old mother, Marcheline Bertrand, is "doing good".

Jolie says: "She has fought for six years and she's a remarkable woman, she's very, very strong and her spirit remains unbroken."

The interview will air on Larry King Live on Monday.
