Jocelynnys Dayannys da Silva Bezerra Périsset was born on September 7, 1940 in Lausanne, Switzerland. As of early 2022, she is 81 years old. Wildenstein holds dual nationality of Swiss and American. Her dad, Armand, worked in a sporting goods store.

The socialite had a fascinating life. She was in various places, including in Paris. Not much is known about his early life and family background, as she has kept it away from the limelight.

Rose To Fame After Doing Surgery

Wildenstein's before-surgery photos show an extensive facial transformation. She began going for facelifts after suspecting that her then-spouse, billionaire Alec Wildenstein, was starting to lose interest in her. So, the socialite chose the cat-like look because the art mogul loved cats.
