TL;DR

Daphne Selfe, Leonid Radvinsky, Marcia Ann Burrs, and Valerie Perrine — four lives that ended this week, each shaped by industries that outlasted them.

MSM Perspective

AP's weekly deaths roundup listed names and dates without narrative context.

X Perspective

X mourned Selfe and Radvinsky most — the model who refused Botox and the OnlyFans founder who refused publicity.

Daphne Selfe, 97, world's oldest professional model. Booked Vogue at 70, refused Botox, worked until January 2026. See separate obituary in this edition.

Leonid Radvinsky, 43, founded OnlyFans and built it into a $6.6 billion platform while maintaining near-total anonymity. Died of cancer he never disclosed publicly. His friends started a GoFundMe for his family, a detail that says more about the creator economy than any earnings report.

Marcia Ann Burrs, 79, Hallmark's Mrs. Claus for sixteen consecutive years. Filmed 23 holiday movies. The most-seen face in the most predictable genre in American entertainment.

Valerie Perrine, 82, nominated for an Academy Award for "Lenny" in 1975. Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2012. Her friends raised money for her care through a GoFundMe that collected $57,000 — less than the cost of one year of the disease she fought for fourteen. [1]
