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
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 2022, 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. 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.[3]
Tompos died from cancer on 31 May 2024, at the age of 41.[3]
