Hello everyone, a big name in cinema has left us. Emilie Deke has passed away at the age of 43. Her family announced the news last night. The Belgian actress was hospitalized in the Paris region where she was being treated for a rare cancer. The disease kept her away from film sets. Cinema was more than a job, a true passion for someone who was revealed at a very young age. Dominique Dune retraces her career. The Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her first film. Few actors have had such a start to their career.
And on stage at the Palais des Festivals, alongside Johnny, she can hardly contain her emotion. It’s difficult. Sorry, I’m catching my breath for a second. I’d like to hug my family, who are on television, hug Mom, Dad, and all the others, there are so many of them. And then, and then, I’d like to thank the brothers, especially for giving me this [Music] I’m great. My name is Ros. Emilie de Ken is only 17. years old when she was chosen by the Arden brothers to play the lead role in Rosetta. The day after Cannes, Belgium discovered a new star who would have to avoid being just a shooting star.
After an arthouse film, the young actress agreed to move into a completely different register: a super costume production. It would be Brotherhood of the Wolf. I knew the experience would be completely different, and the role we were offering was obviously of a completely different register. Emilie continued to make films, but don’t forget her first love, the theater. At 12, she had already been on stage, a great artist. Oh my god, but man, no feelings. 15 years later, she occupied the Théâtre Marini in Paris with Mademoiselle Julie de Sternberg. I choose what is good or not so good for me, and for me in my life, I really, really wanted to be in the theater.
Quelle est la maladie d’Emilie Dequenne ?
Hello HUG, we feel a lot of emotion today because Emilie Deke was not a personality like the others, she was authentic, natural, and that was also very strong in her very particular acting. Yes, uh, not only was she a very talented actress, but she was a beautiful person because there was generosity, there was sincerity, there was honesty, and a complete absence of pretension. While God knows I’ve met a lot of actors who, after a or prizes, as they say vulgarly, they get their head in the air. She stood out a bit in this environment. She was terribly accessible, and I think that precisely because she was very generous, she also gave a lot in her roles.
And certainly, she shot a lot of things, including period films, but I think it was in contemporary roles that she probably found her best characters because she was truly a modern young woman who also took to heart the problems of our time. She was very much in tune with her era, and I think it’s these films that will remain. Yes, so stay with us. HUG, indeed, of Emilie de Ken. We’ll remember this career. And also, in recent years, her fight against illness, a very rare form of cancer. She didn’t hide anything about it, communicating on social media, on the radio, or on television. Look, it was in May 2024, 25 years after her Palme d’Or for Rosetta, Emilie de Ken once again lit up the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, her face marked by illness but her irrepressible will.
Qui est le mari d’Émilie Dequenne ?
not to see cancer prevent her from living, it’s just that what happened 25 years ago was a shock for my family, and what’s happening 25 years later was a shock for my family, so obviously it was in August 2023 that Emilie de Ken learned that she was suffering from a very rare cancer, adrenal gland cancer. She quickly decided to communicate about her illness, mainly via her social networks. Cancer is not a shameful illness. First of all, uh, it’s already so hard, we already feel so alone. If on top of that, I have to keep quiet, it’s talking. In this profession, there was no way things would be said, anything would be said. I wanted to take control, control what was said and tell the truth because
