Spider-Man Actress Commits Suicide
Young British actress Lucy Gordon was found dead in her Paris apartment Wednesday, just two days before her 29th birthday, French police confirmed Thursday.
According to French police, it appeared that Gordon hanged herself while her boyfriend was sleeping. Reports haven't indicated any motivation, and an autopsy will be performed to determine the official cause of death.
Born in Oxford, young model-turned-actress Gordon has starred in more than a dozen films, including Cedric Klapisch's "The Russian Dolls," Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3" and French title Yann Moix's "Cineman" soon to be released in Gaul.
The actress recently wrapped production on Joann Sfar's anticipated Serge Gainsbourg biopic "Serge Gainsbourg (a heroic life)," in which she plays Jane Birkin. "The film 'Gainsbourg (a heroic life)' owes a lot to Lucy Gordon's generosity, kindness and the immense talent," Sfar and the film's producers Marc du Pontavice and Didier Lupfer said in a press release sent out late Wednesday night in France. The film will hit Gallic theaters next year.
