Catherine Spaak recently passed away at the age of 77. The actress became famous in Italy during the 1960s.
Spaak was sick for some time and suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage two years ago. She had previously explained her health condition in an interview back in October 2020, wherein she revealed her brain hemorrhage, dysfunctional sight, and walking difficulties.
French journalist and television executive Pierre Lescure paid tribute to her on Twitter. Writer Henry-Jean Servat wrote on Twitter:
“Heroine of tangy comedies where her wild charm and her chubby pouts worked wonders, she embodies with pep the sparkling epic of the Dolce Vita.”
