Jocelyn Wildenstein, ‘Catwoman’ socialite known for her extreme cosmetic surgery, dies
CNNCNN — Jocelyn Wildenstein, the Swiss-born socialite famous for the surgery-enhanced feline features that earned her nicknames in the American press like “Catwoman” and the “Bride of Wildenstein,” has died. Wildenstein, who sometimes spelled her name “Jocelyne,” was a staple of New York tabloids for much of her adult life, due to her tempestuous love life, drastically changing appearance and the hefty payout she received in her divorce from an art world bigwig. “Otherwise, it’s all about choosing the right doctor.” A life defined by money, cosmetic surgery and a love of big cats Jocelyn Périsset spent her early life in Lausanne, Switzerland. The pair married the following year, and the new Mrs. Wildenstein gained a new residence: Ol Jogi, the massive ranch her husband’s family owned in Kenya — her favorite of several new international homes. Klein told People that some of their fights were brought on by Wildenstein’s stress about her “financial duress.” Despite her massive divorce settlement in 1999, Wildenstein filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
