Death
Toward the end of her life, Bertrand preferred to keep a low profile and did not grant interviews. She died at the age of 56 on January 27, 2007 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after an almost eight-year battle with ovarian cancer. Her children were with her at the time of her death. Bertrand's daughter stated that her mother's side of the family tended not to be long-lived, saying, "There is no longevity on my mother's side of the family. My grandmother also died young so my mother always thought it could happen to her."

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Most of the folktales dealing with the Indians are lurid and romantic. The story of the Indian lovers who were refused permission to wed and committed suicide is common to many places. Local residents point out cliffs where Indian maidens leaped to their death until it would seem that the first duty of all Indian girls was to jump off cliffs.”

“Is it sin
To rush into the secret house of death
Ere death dare come to us?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
