Angelina Jolie -- making even more headlines than usual as she speaks openly about falling in love with Brad Pitt -- has confirmed that her mother is battling ovarian cancer.

Jolie says in an upcoming interview with CNN host Larry King that her 56-year-old mom, Marcheline Bertrand, is doing good -- and she expects her to win her fight against the disease.

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

Jolie's Larry King interview will air on Monday, December 18.
