Actress Charlotte Valandrey, consecrated by the film "Rouge Baiser" in 1985 and who had made public her HIV status and her heart transplant problems, died Wednesday at the age of 53, her agent told AFP.
She had revealed her HIV status in 2005 with her autobiography "Love in the blood", a big bookstore success (180,000 sales) then adapted into a TV movie.
Her triple therapy had exhausted her heart and she had resorted to a transplant in 2003, which made her the first HIV-positive heart transplant recipient in France.
