Farewell to Jocelyn Wildenstein: 'Catwoman's' untold story
Wildenstein passed away at the age of 84 in Paris, just a few days before the premiere of a reality show about her life. The news of the death of this controversial celebrity has stirred the media worldwide.
Jocelyn Wildenstein was widely known as the "Catwoman". She earned her nickname by frequently altering her face with numerous plastic surgeries. Her appearance often evoked shock, and her face no longer resembled that of a typical human; nevertheless, her distorted self-image continually drove her back under the scalpel. It was said she had spent several million dollars on surgeries, resulting in a strikingly controversial effect. In 1978, Jocelyn married French billionaire and art collector Alec Wildenstein. The couple divorced after two decades. In 2017, the "Catwoman" became engaged to designer Lloyd Klein, who was 28 years her junior.
Official reports stated that the cause of Jocelyn's death was pulmonary embolism. It turns out that she was working on a reality show about her life but did not live to see its premiere.
As reported by TMZ, production began about a year ago, but the project has yet to find a television network willing to broadcast it.
Reality show about Jocelyn Wildenstein's life
Producer Christine Peters proposed the idea for the show to producer Jeff Jenkins, and filming lasted for a month. The programme aimed to showcase Jocelyn's life as she moved from Miami to Los Angeles. The show also documented the life of her fiancé, Lloyd.
Jocelyn was pleased to participate in the programme; she wanted people to know her beyond the headlines. Informants describe her as happy, healthy, and "a joy to work with."
