==Work==
Her work on Manchevski's ''[[Before the Rain (1994 film)|Before the Rain]]'' and on ''[[No Man's Land (2001 film)|No Man's Land]]'' made her well known in [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] and the [[Balkans]].

Cartlidge worked in two more Leigh films: in ''[[Career Girls]]'' she played one of the lead roles, Hannah, at the ages of both 20 and 30, and in ''[[Topsy Turvy]]'' she was a madam in a [[Paris]] [[brothel]]. She was due to play the lead role in [[Polish people|Polish]] director [[Lech Majewski]]'s 2004 film ''[[The Garden of Earthly Delights (2004 film)|The Garden of Earthly Delights]]''—that of an art historian dying of [[cancer]]—but she left shortly before production began.<ref>Lech Majewski, DVD commentary, ''The Garden of Earthly Delights'', Kino International, New York, 2008.

Cartlidge died at the age of 41 on 7 September 2002, of complications arising from [[pneumonia]] and [[Sepsis|septicaemia]] caused by a [[pheochromocytoma]].<ref name="guard"/>

==Legacy==
The impact of Cartlidge's sudden death saw the creation of the [[Katrin Cartlidge Foundation]] by the trustees [[Mike Leigh]], Peter Gevisser, [[Simon McBurney]], Chris Simon, and Cat Villiers. The patrons include [[Lars von Trier]] and Cartlidge's sister [[Michelle Cartlidge|Michelle]]. Established at the [[Sarajevo Film Festival]], an annual bursary is awarded by "an elected curator, chosen by the (Foundation) Trustees from a wide and eclectic number of Katrin Cartlidge’s friends and colleagues...(to) a new creative voice... While the new talent nominated each year will be a filmmaker, it is anticipated that the choices will be as varied and extraordinary as Katrin’s own choice of filmmakers and friends from across the arts."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.katrincartlidgefoundation.org.uk/award |title=Award |publisher=Katrin Cartlidge Foundation |access-date=25 July 2017 |archive-date=6 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081006063327/http://www.katrincartlidgefoundation.org.uk/award |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Mike Leigh: "She took to the improvisation and character work instantly, easily and with extraordinary commitment and imagination. Other than in the Royal Court Young Peoples Theatre, she had had no formal training, but you would never have guessed it. ([[Drama Centre London]] turned her down, and that put her off). She often talked to me about [a] move into directing. I am in no doubt that we have lost not only one of our greatest actors but also one of the most interesting new directors of the future."<ref>{{cite news|author=Mike Leigh |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2002/sep/13/artsfeatures.gender?INTCMP=SRCH |title=Film: Mike Leigh remembers Katrin Cartlidge &#124; Film |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=25 July 2017}}</ref>

Following her death, British singer [[Morrissey]] dedicated a performance of his song "[[Late Night, Maudlin Street]]" at the Royal Albert Hall to Cartlidge, describing her as a "brilliant person and fantastic actor".<ref>{{cite news|author=Dorian Lynskey |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2002/sep/19/artsfeatures.popandrock3 |title=Morrissey, Royal Albert Hall, London &#124; Music |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |access-date=25 July 2017}}</ref>

[[Tracy Letts]] dedicated his 2003 play ''[[Man from Nebraska]]'' to Cartlidge, stating "Man from Nebraska is dedicated to the memory of my dear friend Katrin Cartlidge".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sites.google.com/site/tdht119manfromne/inspirations|title=Inspirations - WIP - Dramatugy for Man from Nebraska|access-date=13 July 2021|archive-date=3 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220803052336/https://sites.google.com/site/tdht119manfromne/inspirations|url-status=dead}}</ref>
