Lucy Gordon -- who played a reporter in Spider-Man 3 -- was found dead in her Paris apartment, the Times of London reports.

The actress -- named one of Britain's most promising young stars by the Times -- apparently committed suicide by hanging herself. One French newspaper reported her boyfriend was sleeping in the apartment at the time.

See the day's top news photos.

She would have turned 29 tomorrow.

Look back at photos of stars gone too soon.

Gordon just wrapped filming a biopic on French singer Serge Gainsbourg. She starred as Jane Birkin.

She also acted alongside Heath Ledger -- who died of an accidental drug overdose last year -- in 2002's The Four Feathers.

    If you joke about death, it may come knocking on your door so be careful in what you say. Also, once you die you are gone from this world. It is not like you are going to be reincarnated. Your soul is either going to heaven or hell.

    It is very sad and unfortunate for anyone to commit suicide. We all go through struggles and hardships and committing suicide should not be the easy way out. I pray that God will give the family and friends strength and comfort as they cope with her death. For those who are making ridiculous comments and jokes, just be aware that death is not something to play around with.
