[Mis à jour le 31 août 2022 à 14h08] A rising star of the seventh art has left us. Charlbi Dean, one of the main actresses of the film “Without Filter” (Palme d’or 2022 at the Cannes Film Festival), died Monday August 29, 2022. She was 32 years old. The South African actress and model died “suddenly” in a hospital in New York. The information, initially announced by TMZ, was later confirmed by one of the actress’ representatives to AFP. The American tabloid evokes an illness to explain the death of the thirty-something. But the causes of his death were not specified by his agent.
Charlbi Dean was starting to make a name for herself in the film industry. We were able to see her parade at the Cannes Film Festival last May during the screening and then the victory of “Without Filter” by Ruben Östlund. The film will be released in French cinemas on September 28. Previously, the actress and supermodel had made a name for herself in the films Don’t Sleep (2017) and Interview with God (2018). We had also been able to see it in the series Black Lightning.
Glimpse of Charlbi Dean’s final days
Devastated by the death of the actress, her boxing trainer spoke in the columns of the Sun to tell the last days of Charlbi Dean. He saw her for the last time three days before her death, during training. “I didn’t see anything she could have had, he said. She was completely healthy and was just happy, smiling and she kept joking around.” The actress, however, would have canceled their training scheduled for Monday August 29 (a few hours before her death), at the last moment.
