Emilie Dequenne dead at 43: Award-winning The Missing actress dies of rare cancer less than two years after being diagnosed


The actress passed away Sunday in a hospital just outside Paris. She revealed in October 2023 that she was suffering from adrenocortical carcinoma, a cancer of the adrenal gland.

By April 2024, Dequenne shared the uplifting news of her complete remission, expressing her determination to return to her career and to life as she knew it. She then distinguished herself in different contexts with Brotherhood of the Wolf directed by Christophe Gans (2001), A Housekeeper by Claude Berri (2002), and The Very Merry Widows by Catherine Corsini (2003). But she then returned to the Cannes film festival in 2024 to mark the 25th anniversary of her triumph there with the Dardenne brothers, and to promote the English-language disaster movie, 'Survive', released the same year.
