Trivia
She became the first woman to display (on purpose) her nipples on American network television during the May 4, 1973, broadcast of Bruce Jay Friedman's play Steambath (1973) shown on Hollywood Television Theater (PBS). The story offered an unusual portrayal of the afterlife with "God" presented as a Puerto Rican steam bath attendant. Bill Bixby played a man who refused to admit that he had died. Valerie was seen taking a shower from all sides. Only a few PBS stations were adventurous enough to carry the program.

Quotes
[on working with Michael Caine on Ouragan sur l'eau plate (1985)] He is without doubt the nicest human being I've ever worked with. I mean, what a pleasure! It would be nice if I could only do Michael Caine movies from now on. I'd be very happy.
