Born at St. Francis Hospital in Blue Island, Illinois, Bertrand was brought up in the nearby small town of Riverdale. Her parents were Lois June (née Gouwens; February 14, 1928–November 11, 1973) and Rolland F. Bertrand (June 11, 1923–April 8, 1985). She had two younger siblings: a sister, Debbie, and a brother, Raleigh. Bertrand was of French Canadian, Dutch, and German descent, and she also claimed to be of Iroquois ancestry, although her former husband, Jon Voight, once said that Bertrand was "not seriously Iroquois," and that they had merely said it to enhance her exotic background. According to daughter Angelina Jolie, Bertrand was often wrongly identified as a French actress, stating, "My mom is as far from French Parisian as you can get. She grew up in a bowling alley that my grandparents owned." In 1965, Bertrand's family moved from the Chicago area to Beverly Hills, where she attended Beverly Hills High School from sophomore year through graduation.

During her early years as an actress, Bertrand studied with Lee Strasberg. In 1971, she played Connie in the episode "Love, Peace, Brotherhood and Murder" on the fourth season of the television show Ironside. In 1982, she appeared in a minor role in Lookin' to Get Out, a film co-written by and starring her former husband, Jon Voight. The following year, Bertrand played her final film role in the comedy The Man Who Loved Women, a remake of the French film of the same name.

Bertrand then turned her attention toward producing. In 1983, she founded Woods Road Productions with her then-partner Bill Day. In 2005, Bertrand was the executive producer of the documentary Trudell, which chronicles the life and work of Santee Sioux musician and activist John Trudell. Trudell was an official selection at the Sundance Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival, and won the Special Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival.

Bertrand and John Trudell founded the All Tribes Foundation, to support the cultural and economic survival of Native peoples. By 2007, the foundation had issued over $800,000 in grants to reservation-based programs that strengthen tribal ways of life and safeguard a future for Native communities.

Bertrand, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1999, also founded the Give Love Give Life organization with Trudell; their objective was to raise public consciousness about ovarian and other gynecological cancers through the use of music. The first Give Love Give Life concert was held in February 2004 at The Roxy in West Hollywood. Bertrand and Trudell worked to organize strategic support in the music and film community for Johanna's Law, legislation to fund national outreach and education about the signs and symptoms of gynecological cancers, which was signed into law on January 12, 2007. To benefit the Women's Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a second Give Love Give Life concert was held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles in February 2007, a month after Bertrand passed away from cancer.

In 1971, Bertrand met actor Jon Voight, whom she subsequently married on December 12, 1971. Following a miscarriage in 1972, Bertrand and Voight had two children, James Haven (born May 11, 1973) and Angelina Jolie (born June 4, 1975). Both their children are actors; Jolie credits her mother rather than her famous father with getting her involved in acting. Bertrand and Voight separated in 1976 as a result of Voight's adultery. She filed for divorce in 1978, which was finalized in 1980.
