The French entertainment world is mourning the loss of Nadia Fares, a talented actress and model of Moroccan origin, who passed away at the age of 57.

Thanks to hard work, introspection and pure determination I found a fantastic team: we are working together on an action comedy with Tf1 Studios.

Fares, who was born in Marrakech in 1968 and grew up in Nice before moving to Paris to pursue her artistic career, had a notable presence in French cinema since the 1990s. She collaborated with renowned directors such as Alexandre Arcady, Claude Lelouch, and Bernie Bonvoisin. Her filmography also includes roles in Italian productions, such as Giulio Base's 'Poliziotti' in 1995.

a ticking time bomb that had to be treated urgently

Beyond her acting career, Fares harbored ambitions as a screenwriter and director. She was slated to begin filming her first feature film in September, a project she had been working on with Tf1 Studios. In a January interview, she spoke candidly about her health struggles, including a significant brain surgery in 2007 to address a large aneurysm and three heart surgeries over four years. Despite these challenges, she maintained a commitment to her well-being, swimming four times a week. Her passing leaves a void in the French film industry and a sense of loss for her artistic contributions and future potential.
