Charlbi Dean Kriek (/ˈʃɑːrlbi/ SHARL-bee;[1] 5 February 1990 – 29 August 2022) was a South African actress and model.[2] She was best known for her roles in the Spud films (2010–2013), the superhero drama series Black Lightning (2018) and the Palme d'Or winner Triangle of Sadness (2022).

Early life and career

Dean was born on 5 February 1990[3][4] and raised in Cape Town to Joanne Muller and Johan Kriek. She had a brother, Alex Jacobs.[5] She began modelling at the age of 6, appearing in commercials and catalogues. She signed with Alfa Model Management when she was 12 and was homeschooled from the age of 14.[6] She travelled between Cape Town, where she attended Waterfront Theatre School,[7][8] and the likes of Tokyo, New York and London for her career.[9][10]

In October 2008, Dean and fellow model Ashton Schnehage survived a car crash. Her injuries included a broken wrist, four broken ribs, and a collapsed lung.[11] She was hospitalised at Milnerton Medi-Clinic and received life-saving surgery,[6] the scars from which she later sported at an AMI Alexandre Mattiussi fashion show.[12] She took a break from her career after the accident.[13]

In 2010, Dean made her acting debut in the film adaptation of Spud as Amanda, a role she would reprise in the sequel Spud 2: The Madness Continues. She went on to star in the films Don't Sleep in 2017 and An Interview with God in 2018.[14][15] During the same year, she landed the role of Syonide, a recurring character she played for two seasons of the Arrowverse series Black Lightning.[16][17] In February 2020, it was announced Dean had joined the cast of Ruben Östlund's satirical film Triangle of Sadness, which premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d'Or.[18][19]

Personal life and death

Dean was engaged to fellow South African model Luke Volker.[12][11]

On 29 August 2022, Dean was admitted to a hospital in New York City after feeling unwell.[20] While her initial symptoms were mild, her condition deteriorated rapidly and she died several hours later at the age of 32.[3][20][11] A final cause of death is still pending autopsy results, though it was found that she had a viral infection in her lungs.[20] Her spleen had been removed after her 2008 car crash, which increases the risk of serious infections.[20][21]

Dean's death occurred shortly before the international release of Triangle of Sadness.[11] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote that she "was a true star-in-the-making. Her loss is a huge one... [she] had a singular style and enormous promise."[22]
