Before her death, Wildenstein (born Jocelyne Périsset) made headlines for her extreme plastic surgery that made her resemble a cat. The work led to her being nicknamed ‘Catwoman’.

Alec told me Vanity fair at the time of their divorce that he had no say in how many surgeries his wife had to undergo, despite reports that he encouraged her to change her appearance.

Jocelyn said The times in June 2023 that Alec “hired a publicist and paid a plastic surgeon to confirm that I completely changed my face” so he could “win the divorce.”
Wildenstein is survived by her and Alec’s children, son Alec Jr. and daughter Diane.
