Frederic Brandt, dermatologist to the stars who built a big business with skin care products, was found dead in his Miami home over the weekend. He was 65.
The Miami Herald reports that Brandt was found in his Coconut Grove home by his housekeeper.
The doctor's publicist, Jacquie Trachtenberg, told the New York Post on Sunday, "He passed away this morning. He was suffering from an
illness. Everyone who knows him is devastated." It is unclear what that "illness" was.
She added, "I worked with him for over 20 years and he was an amazing man, not only was he a brilliant doctor, but he was the kindest human being."
Brandt, whose clients included Madonna and Stephanie Seymour, was not shy about experimenting, self-administering injections of Botox and other fillers through the decades, according to a New York Times profile last year, which described his skin as so "impressively smooth and so pale as to lend him a lunar aspect."
He was called "the baron of Botox."
Strangers often asked if he was from Sweden . "Actually," he replied, "I'm a Jewish kid from Newark."
