Things initially looked good last year, but in December the Belgian actress announced that only part of the cancer was responding to treatment. Another part was still progressing. "Deep down, I know that I won't live as long as I planned," she said on TF1. The actress leaves behind an adult daughter and her husband Michel Ferracci.
A career full of glamour and recognition
Émilie Dequenne celebrated her big breakthrough at the age of 17: she won the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1999 with the film "Rosetta" - a sensational success.
Over the course of her career, she has appeared in 55 films, shining in emotional dramas and sophisticated arthouse productions. She was awarded the prestigious César film prize and received the prize for Best Actress in the "Un Certain Regard" category in Cannes. The Belgian was no stranger to Hollywood either: she starred alongside Robert De Niro in "The Bridge of San Luis Rey".
