John Voight is reeling with regret following the January (07) death of ex-wife Marcheline Bertrand, according to son James Haven.

Haven claims his Oscar winning father was always “tough” on mother Bertrand, who died at the age of 56 following a seven and a half year battle with ovarian cancer.

The couple split in 1976 shortly after the birth of Haven’s younger sister Angelina Jolie. Haven, 33, says, “My dad left a voicemail message that was very kind, wishing condolences to me and my sister. That was what he did.

“He was very tough on my mom for years and then the person he was tough on has gone. He can’t do anything now, he can’t fix that and it’s very painful.”
