Gone 15-year-old actress from Disney movie Queen Katwe


Actress Nikita Pearl Valigwa, who became famous for her role in the Disney film Queen Katwe about a prodigy from Ugandan slums, died at the age of 15. This is reported by the Swahili Air Force. According to journalists of the TV and radio company, in 2016 the girl was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The film's director Mira Nair then launched a fundraising campaign to treat the girl in India because Uganda did not have the necessary equipment. In 2017, her tumor completely sucked, but last year doctors found another tumor in her. At the time of her death, she was a high school student at Gaiaz High School. The 2016 film Queen Katwe was based on the real story of Fiona Mutesi, who began playing chess at the age of nine despite not studying at school. The painting featured Lupita Nyongo as his mother and David Oelowo as a chess teacher. Valigva played the role of Gloria, Fiona's girlfriend, who explained to her the rules of the game of chess.
