Valerie Perrine, an Oscar-nominated actress who performed opposite Dustin Hoffman's Lenny Bruce in 1974's "Lenny" and starred in Christopher Reeve's "Superman" films, has died. She was 82.
Perrine "passed away peacefully at her home on March 23, 2026, surrounded by love, exactly as she had wished," according to Stacey Souther, director of the 2019 documentary short "Valerie."
Souther shared the news in a post on Perrine's social media accounts as well as Souther's own Instagram account.
"It is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that Valerie has passed away. She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible courage and compassion, never once complaining," Souther wrote. "She was a true inspiration who lived life to the fullest — and what a magnificent life it was. The world feels less beautiful without her in it. I love you, Valerie. I’ll see you on the other side. ❤️"
Souther added that Perrine's "final wish is to be laid to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery, but after more than 15 years of fighting Parkinson’s, her finances are exhausted." She started a GoFundMe "with the full support and blessing of her brother, Ken Perrine," as she wrote on the fundraiser's page, and encouraged fans to "come together to make her last wish a reality — she truly deserves it."
