Katalin "Kátya" Tompos (13 March 1983 – 31 May 2024) was a Hungarian actress and singer known for her theatrical and film roles as well as for her often ethnically themed musical performances.
Life and career
[edit]Tompos was supposed to represent Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "Magányos csónak".[1] However, on 10 February 2009, Tompos announced her withdrawal from the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest due to theatrical commitments.[2]
In 2021, she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, the treatments for which proved so demanding that they prevented her from performing live from there onwards. Her diagnosis was announced in May 2024.[3][4] She died only days after a successful fundraising event organised by fellow actors and musicians in order to provide funds for her further treatments that were not available in Hungary.[5]
Tompos died from cancer on 31 May 2024, at the age of 41.[6]
