Hollywood is mourning the loss of one of their own.
Verónica Echegui—known for her role as Marta in Apple TV+’s Love You to Death—died on Aug. 24 at Madrid’s 12 de Octubre University Hospital where she was being treated for cancer, according to Variety. She was 42.
The Spanish actress kickstarted her career back in 2006 when Spanish director Bigas Luna cast her in 2006’s My Name is Juani. And though the movie drew in mixed reviews at the time, Echegui went on to receive her first Spanish Academy nomination for her remarkable performance.
In the years following, she also received nominations for her work in 2009’s My Prison Yard, 2012’s Katmandu and 2022’s My Heart Goes Boom, as well as winning the Best Fiction Short Film award for her directorial debut, Tótem Loba, in 2022.
After the tragic news of her passing broke, Echegui’s friends and colleagues—including Spanish actor Antonio Banderas—expressed their heartbreak on social media.
