 Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis author and acclaimed Iranian-French artist, dies at 56, French presidency says

   Acclaimed Iranian-French cartoonist and filmmaker Marjane Satrapi, best known for the graphic memoir “Persepolis” and her outspoken advocacy for women’s rights, has died at the age of 56. French officials described her as a leading figure of culture and a devoted voice for freedom whose work carried global influence and wide critical acclaim.

Satrapi rose to international prominence with “Persepolis,” her autobiographical account of growing up during and after the Islamic Revolution in Iran, which was later adapted into an award-winning animated film. The project earned major honors including recognition at Cannes and the César Awards, and an Academy Award nomination. Over her career, she also wrote graphic novels such as “Embroideries” and “Chicken with Plums,” and directed films including “Radioactive,” about scientist Marie Curie. In recent years, she remained active in cultural and political discourse, contributing to projects highlighting protests in Iran and supporting movements for women’s rights. French cultural institutions and officials paid tribute to her as a major artistic voice and civic figure, while her death comes after the loss of her husband in 2025, a personal tragedy widely noted in reports about her later life.
