Actress Valerie Perrine, best known for her roles as Lex Luthor’s assistant Miss Teschmacher in the original Superman films, the troubled wife of Lenny Bruce in Lenny, and adult film actress-turned-alien abductee Montana Wildhack in Slaughterhouse-Five, has died at age 82.
Her death was announced by friend and director Stacey Souther, who has set up a GoFundMe titled: “Help Us Give Valerie Perrine the Farewell She Deserves.” On the site, she wrote. “Valerie Perrine passed away peacefully at her home on March 23, 2026, surrounded by love, exactly as she had wished. She was 82 years old. After more than fifteen years waging a quiet, courageous battle against both Parkinson’s disease and debilitating central tremors, this luminous, vivacious woman finally rested. Her passing leaves a void in Hollywood history — and in the hearts of millions of fans around the world.”
