A Hollywood career that stretched from critically acclaimed dramas to blockbuster superhero films has come to an end, as actress Valerie Perrine has died at the age of 82.
Her passing was confirmed Monday in Beverly Hills, according to representatives, following complications from Parkinson’s disease, per Fox News.
Perrine’s longtime friend, Stacey Souther, shared the news publicly, reflecting on the actress’s long health battle and enduring spirit.
“It is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that Valerie has passed away,” Stacey shared on social media.
“She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible courage and compassion, never once complaining. She was a true inspiration who lived life to the fullest—and what a magnificent life it was.”
Souther added, “The world feels less beautiful without her in it. I love you, Valerie. I’ll see you on the other side.”
Perrine had been living with Parkinson’s since 2015. In recent years, her condition worsened, and she eventually lost the ability to walk. A crowdfunding campaign launched in 2023 by Souther raised more than $95,000 to help cover her care.
