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."
