Belgian actress Emilie Dequenne dead at 43

Belgian actress Emilie Dequenne passed away on March 16 at age 43 after battling adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare cancer of the adrenal gland. Her family and agent confirmed she died in a hospital near Paris.

Dequenne rose to fame at 18 with her award-winning role in Rosetta (1999), which earned her the Best Actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival. She starred in numerous French-language films, including The Girl on the Train (2009) and Our Children (2012). British audiences knew her as Laurence Relaud in the BBC drama The Missing.

In 2024, she attended Cannes to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Rosetta and promote her final film, the English-language thriller Survive. She was initially declared cancer-free in April 2024 but later revealed the disease had returned. In a heartfelt message, she acknowledged her battle, saying, “I know I will not live as long as planned.”

Dequenne is survived by her husband, Michel Ferracci, and her 22-year-old daughter, actress Milla Savarese.
