Angelina Jolie’s Mother Asked Her Doctor to Promise to Remove the Actress’ Ovaries.

As Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt gear up for the release of their new movie, By the Sea, about a couple struggling to repair their troubled marriage, the A-list couple open up about the ups and downs in their own relationship.  Jolie says that her decision to have her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed as a cancer prevention tactic was greatly influenced by her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died after a long battle with cancer. She told Tom Brokaw on Today that she even shared some of the same doctors and nurses as her mother.  WATCH: Brad Pitt and His Lookalike Son Knox Show Up at MotoGP British Grand Prix Race in England  "The doctor that did my ovary surgery was my mother's doctor. And apparently my mother had said to her, 'Promise me you will take Angie's ovaries out,'" Jolie explained. "So when we kind of got together, we both had a big cry, and she said, 'I promised your mother, and I gotta do this.'''
