Besides Rosetta, she also appeared in movies like Brotherhood of the Wolf, The Girl on the Train, Our Children, and Mr. Blake At Your Service! So, here are all the details fans need to know about the actress' tragic demise. Various outlets have reported that the Belgian actress died on Sunday, March 16, 2025, due to complications related to a rare adrenal cancer at the Gustave-Roussy Hospital in Villejuif, a French commune located close to Paris. Émilie Dequenne was 43 years old and is survived by her husband, Michel Ferracci, and daughter, Milla Savarese. As per The Guardian, the reports of her death were confirmed by family members and her agent. Back in October 2023, Dequenne disclosed that she had been diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma and subsequently chronicled her struggles with the disease. The Not My Type actress took to Instagram in August 2024 and posted, 'I obviously keep the immense love that has overflowed after this ordeal. The most beautiful of the sequel.' She continued, 'However, I'd be lying if I said everything was pink all the time. Corticosurenaloma, besides its rarity, transformed me completely. Me, my life, my general state, my morals, my abilities, my freedom, my carelessness… Sometimes I cry for this life before.' Dequenne concluded the post with a hopeful note, 'But I'm here.

Belgian actor Émilie Dequenne dies at 43 of rare cancer, report says
Émilie Dequenne, the Belgian actor who won a top Cannes Film Festival prize for her breakout role in 'Rosetta,' has died, a news report says. She was 43. Her family and agent told the news agency Agence France-Presse that Dequenne died Sunday of a rare cancer in a hospital outside of Paris. In 2023, Dequenne revealed she had been diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. Representatives for Dequenne did not immediately respond to inquires from The Associated Press on Monday. Dequenne was only 18 when she was selected as best actress at Cannes in 1999. In 'Rosetta,' from Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, she portrayed a teenager trying to escape her difficult life in a caravan park with an alcoholic mother. The film also won the Palme d'Or that year. Born in Belœil, Belgium, in 1981, Dequenne had a performance streak from a young age. She studied drama at the Académie de Musique de Baudour. She became well-known in France after starring alongside Catherine Deneuve in 'The Girl on the Train,' in 2009, based on the true story of a woman who falsely claimed she was the victim of an antisemitic attack. Dequenne also portrayed police officer Laurence Renauld on the French series 'The Missing.' In 2012, she won the Un Certain Regard actress prize from Cannes for 'Our Children,' a dark psychological drama inspired by the real story of a Belgian woman who killed her five children. She was also nominated for several César Awards throughout her career, finally winning best supporting actress in 2021 for the romantic comedy 'Love Affair(s).' Speaking to The Guardian in 2013 about the difficult role in 'Our Children,' she said, 'For my part I went home every weekend, and stayed with my family, which is a very safe place. Making a film like that is something that you have to survive.' More recently, she co-starred in 'Close,' Lukas Dhont's tender boyhood drama, which brought her back to Cannes again in 2022. She saw similarities between her young co-star and her own breakout role with 'Rosetta.' 'For me to be here and to come back here after 23 years, it's very emotional and there is like a reflection between Eden (Dambrine) and myself because I remember when I was here the first time with 'Rosetta,'' she told The Associated Press. 'It was like a very powerful movie with this main character, which is in every scene, every, every shot. And that's the same for him.' Dequenne returned to the festival again in 2024 for the 25th anniversary of 'Rosetta.' Her last film was Frédéric Jardin's post-apocalyptic thriller 'Survive,' which came out earlier this year. While she loved taking on work in England, France and Belgium, she had little interest in Hollywood. 'I have been to Hollywood and had meetings, but really they don't do the kind of films I like to make. And everything is kind of boring, no?' she said in the interview with The Guardian. 'Honestly, it's not a fun place, or at least not my kind of fun.' She is survived by her husband, director and producer Michel Ferracci, and daughter, Milla Savarese.
