BERTRAND'S ESTATE PURSUED FOR BACK TAXES

ANGELINA JOLIE's mother MARCHELINE BERTRAND died owing the state of California over $60,000 (£41,380) in unpaid taxes.
The veteran actress lost her battle with ovarian cancer in January 2007, at the age of 56 - reportedly leaving millions of dollars to Jolie and son James Haven in her will, as well as thousands to her siblings and other relatives.
But Bertrand's estate is now being pursued by the state for the back taxes, with government officials filing a creditors claim for a total of $62,928.70 (£43,399.09) last week (ends20Mar09).
According to TMZ.com, Bertrand owed $43,699 (£30,137.24) in outstanding taxes, with $10,924.75 (£7,534.30) in penalties and $8,304.95 (£5,727.55) in interest.
