It is very sad to know that a dream girl like Karen has killed herself. She gave up working as a performer some years ago and I hoped that she was happy. Unfortunately, she wasn't.
that is so very tragic! karen was so beautiful..im so very sad this has happened. Most people seem the happiest to others before leaving..she sems to have had it planned.
I only have seen 4 or 5 of her scenes but she was a very attractive woman. Fuck man, first Lea De Mae dies and now Karen. This is very sad . Rest is Peace Karen.
This is very sad news indeed. Karen was beautiful, talented, and genuinely sexy. I was suprised that her performance in Baise-moi, as the image above shows, didn't give her more of an iconic status in the wider world.
This is very sad news indeed. She had incredible sex appeal and will be missed. Whenever one of her movies was shown on satellite TV it was always a bonus.
this is really depressing and a tragic end to a life that wasn't all that easy to begin with, from what little i heard. here's to you finding peace, karen.
As its been said "life is suffering but also pleasure, you cant separate the two. if you didn't have pain, then you wouldn't realize when you're having pleasure" not everyone can understand that. the one thing that i hate is when some make judgments like "she was a pornstar because she had issues" which is often said when they take their life.."what a victim!" etc...like it never happens in other creative professions? her demons were strong....im so devastated she couldn't overcome them....but at the end we are so alone. Doctors have no clue they just throw the latest pill at you. As Ian Curtis from Joy division said "directionless so plain to see a loaded gun wont set you free.....so you say" sorry for being such a downer.its just really saddened me.

Sad to see someone so young and beautiful take their life I hope she's at peace now.
She was my favorite actress. Her body and her face were gorgeous. And she was a very good actress (watch Baise-moi in french, you'll understand me). I'm devastated.
We just can hope she is happy wherever she is now.
Rest in peace beautiful Karen, we'll never forget you.
She was an extremely pretty girl, and one would have thought that her success in 'Baise Moi' would have led to other parts in mainstream movies, she looked so fine and delivered such a good performance in that movie.
I saw Karen once in a dance show in Switzerland, she looked so sensuous! Not to mention many Dorcel movies in which she did very nice scenes...terrible news...
I just wanted to say some words in praise of the lovely Karen Lancaume.I just found out this horrible news a couple of days ago, and I still cant believe this.The day I found out, I actually cried a lot.She was so beautiful and talented.She was without doubt my favorite of the euro pornstars.
Karen, I never knew you, but I will never forget you.I hope we`ll meet sometime in another world.
Believe it or not, it was only a few weeks ago that I watched Baise Moi on dvd because I heard it had some real porn stars in it but I had no idea when I saw the title of this thread a couple of days ago that Karen Lancaume was the name of one of the stars of that film.
Feels a bit weird and very sad. Its like I've just discovered her and suddenly shes gone
I had seen Baise Moi on the shelves of a number of DVD stores . Incidentally I happened to watch Marc Dorcel's "Les Contes Pervers" mainly for Erika bella and found that Karen is one of pornstars who could actually ACT ! I'm shocked to know that she's dead. I'm sure she could have done a lot of bigger mainstream movies. She was just too good to last I guess.
I bet one of the frustrations in her life was not being able to get more mainstream work because of her hardcore past. Whether that was a factor in her decision to take her own life we'll never know.
I`ve been searching the web for some more information about the circumstances around her tragic death.My problem is that I dont read or speak french.But I found something on one website which told something about a written note she had left to her loved ones.It said something like; " to painful ".Sad and simple.I guess we will never find out, but there is one thing that I do know, and that is; life is no easy ride.
