Victoria Anastasi Obituary – The entertainment world and those who knew her are mourning the loss of Victoria Anastasi, a beloved model and actress from La Plata, Maryland, who passed away after battling Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).
She died surrounded by loved ones last weekend, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, talent, and kindness that touched the lives of many.
Victoria, known fondly as “Vicky,” had a long and successful career in modeling and acting, particularly as part of the Cima Talent Management agency.
Over the years, she worked on numerous projects, showcasing her versatility and skill. Her career also included a significant stint with Marilyn’s Agency, where she was considered a treasured member of the team for over a decade.
Her colleagues remember her exuberant personality and her ability to make any project feel enjoyable and effortless. Born and raised in La Plata, Vicky attended La Plata High School, where her passion for the arts began to shine.
She became a known figure in the local theater scene, participating in various productions and forming lasting bonds with fellow actors and students. Many of her friends and colleagues recall her energy, positivity, and tireless work ethic, which made her a standout talent both on stage and behind the scenes.
One of her close friends, Kyle Bailey, shared his grief on social media, remembering the warmth and generosity Victoria showed him during their high school years.
“She was so warm and welcoming to me in high school doing theater with her both at LPHS and PTP,” Kyle wrote, recalling trips to the Thespian Festival in Nebraska and other cherished memories.
“One of the kindest people I ever met. I’m just devastated, stunned, and looking back through photos with a smile remembering what a beautiful soul she is and was.” Victoria later moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she continued her career and expanded her influence within the entertainment industry. However, despite her success, it was her caring nature and her ability to connect with others that truly defined her.
Those who worked with her, whether in the modeling industry or in other creative fields, fondly remember her ability to bring joy to any situation. Her death from CJD, a rare and degenerative neurological disorder, came as a shock to her family, friends, and the many people who admired her. CJD is a disease that progresses quickly, and despite the challenges it presents, Victoria remained surrounded by the love and support of her close ones during her final days.
