Belgian actress Émilie Dequenne passed away at age 43. A renowned leading lady of French cinema since her film debut and breakout role in “Rosetta” (1999), she revealed on her Instagram account on October 21, 2023, that she was battling adrenocortical carcinoma, a cancer of the adrenal glands in the kidney. Yesterday evening, on March 16, 2025, she died in a hospital just outside of Paris, her family and her agent Danielle Gain announced on AFP.

Ms. Dequenne was born in Beloeil, Belgium, on August 29, 1981 and at an early age, she studied drama at the Académie de Musique de Baudour and joined the Théâtre de la Relève. At age 17, she played the titular character in Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne‘s “Rosetta” as the teenager who lives with her alcoholic mother in a trailer park. Her role earned her the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999, while the Dardenne brothers won their first Palme d’Or.

Since then, she appeared in several films—a successful mix of mainstream and independent films—such as “La fille du RER” (2009, a.k.a. “The Girl on the Train”) opposite Catherine Deneuve, and Joachim Lafosse‘s dark psychological drama “À perdre la raison” (2013, a.k.a. “Our Children”), based on a true story, playing a Belgian woman who killed all of her five children. For her portrayal, she won the Best Actress Award in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.

Several other notable films of hers include the highly entertaining “Pas son genre” (2014, a.k.a. “Not My Type”), the political drama “Chez nous” (2017, a.k.a. “This Is Our Land”)—both films written and directed by Lucas Belvaux—and Lukas Dhont’s coming-of-age drama “Close” (2022) which was nominated for an Academy Award, category Best International Film.

In May 2024, after battling cancer and in a remission since April 2024, she was able to return to the Cannes Film Festival to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Rosetta,” the film that had launched her career, and promote the post-apocalyptic thriller, “Survive,” also released last year—her last film before illness forced her to stop working.

Despite her remission, the disease recurred in late 2024; on the French TV channel TF1 she revealed early December 2024 that she had relapsed, and said, ‘I know for a fact that I won’t live as long as I thought I would. (…) I’m only 43. I have always dreamed of living to be at least 80 and falling asleep for good. That’s what I’m asking for.’

On her Instagram page, she shared her cancer journey and her fight against the disease with her fans. On February 4—World Cancer Day—she wrote, translated from French to English, ‘I almost forgot because I was leaving the hospital today after 13 days… What a fierce battle! And you don’t choose… just writing these few words is an enormous effort.’

Ms. Dequenne is survived by her husband and fellow actor Michel Ferracci and her twenty-two-year-old daughter Milla Savarese whom she shared with her ex Alexandre Savarese.

She leaves a huge void in the French-speaking film world. On social media, numerous colleagues of hers have posted ‘in memoriam’ messages, praising her for her work, her talent, her kindness, and her generosity, among others.

And I can understand why they’re all speaking so highly of her. I had the honor of interviewing Ms. Dequenne twice, and have very fond memories of both encounters: first, in February 2017, when she was in Brussels to promote the release of “Chez nous”—and, since we both happened to wear the same shirt, there was a hilarious photoshoot after the interview was finished when Ms. Dequenne took her Polaroid camera out of her purse to take selfies for her personal scrapbook.

Two years later, in June 2019, we talked again when she was reunited with her “Rosetta” directors, the Dardenne brothers, and actor Fabrizio Rongione, at a screening of the film during the BRIFF (Brussels International Film Festival), celebrating the film’s 20th birthday. Both memories are cherished very dearly.
