The French-Iranian illustrator and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi has died at the age of 56, as announced by her family to the AFP agency. Satrapi had withdrawn from public life for months following the death of her husband, producer and actor Mattias Ripa, who died on April 8, 2025. "Marjane Satrapi died of sadness just over a year after the death of Mattias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life," states the press release made public by the illustrator's family, which does not specify the cause of death.
