  • Jocelyn Wildenstein, nicknamed Catwoman for the numerous cosmetic surgeries she underwent, died aged 84. She will be buried at her family's home in Kenya.

Jocelyn Wildenstein, a Swiss socialite known for her extensive plastic surgeries, passed away at the age of 84 in her home in Miami, Florida.
