Olivia Hussey
She was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a bilateral mastectomy in 2008. The disease returned in 2017 and she was treated with chemo and radiation to destroy a tumor in her chest cavity. She died on December 27, 2024 after another recurrence of breast cancer.
She was my age.
