Belgian actress Emilie Dequenne passed away on Monday at the age of 43 in a hospital outside Paris after battling adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare cancer of the adrenal gland.
Dequenne rose to fame with her debut role in Rosetta, which won her the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 and launched a successful career in French-language cinema. She starred in acclaimed films such as The Girl on the Train (2009) and Our Children (2012), collecting numerous awards along the way.
In 2024, she made a final appearance at Cannes to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Rosetta and to promote her last film, the English-language disaster movie Survive, before illness forced her to step away from acting.
Well we can guess how she contracted “a rare cancer” now can’t we.
Was she vaccinated with the covid jab?
