Triangle of Sadness

Actress Charlbi Dean, star of 'Triangle of Sadness' and 'Black Lightning', dies at age 32.

It went on to win the festival’s highest prize, the Palme d’Or — considered one of the most prestigious honors in the film industry. Her most notable role to date was in the 2022 film Triangle of Sadness, marking her first appearance in a major Hollywood film. Dean made her acting debut in the 2010 South African film Spud; she also had roles in Death Race 3: Inferno, Blood in the Water and An Interview with God, and in 2013 filmed a sequel to Spud titled Spud 2: The Madness Continues.

South African actress Charlbi Dean, who appeared in Palme d'Or winning film Triangle of Sadness, has died at the age of 32.

Speaking about the film before it was crowned at Cannes in May, she told the Associated Press: "For me, I'm like, I've already won. I'm already at Cannes with the movie. The film is a biting social satire that sees models and the ultra-rich have their status undermined by unexpected events.

The news of her death at such a young age has shocked film fans worldwide. She was also a prominent character in the DC series Black Lightning but the most iconic role of her film career came earlier this year when she starred in Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness. Born in Cape Town, Dean was introduced to the public sphere at the age of six when she started working as a child model for advertisement agencies.

Ruben Östlund's second Palme d'Or-winning film is a somewhat heavy-handed but engaging delight about what we should truly value.

Abigail is actually seen quite early in the film, but little attention is given to the Pinoy workers on board the yacht at first—the same attitude that the passengers might take toward them. The film follows model couple Carl and Yaya (Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean, who sadly passed away Monday), who, thanks to their social media following, see them on board the Christina O (the former Onassis vessel is not named), where they meet an oligarch, Dmitry (Zlatko Burić), who got rich selling fertilizer, and an English arms’ dealer, Winston (Oliver Ford Davies), among others. Maybe the themes are too obvious and heavy-handed—Marx is quoted—but then maybe Östlund is commenting on a society where subtext isn’t always detected.
