Message from Valerie:

I am touched and flattered to still receive so many letters from fans around the world.

It is gratifying to be remembered so enthusiastically after so many years. I still work though obviously not as frequently as in my hey day!

My recent activities have included chat shows and some television (an episode of Last of the Summer Wine) .  I appeared in two short films, Gas which is based on an early Hitchcock story and A Neutral Corner a 13 minute surreal and dreamlike insight into the subconscious of a comatose boxer . Both these films were directed by promising young female directors, Sylvie Bolioli and Emily Greenwood. These films were presented in a number of international short film festivals with great success. I was delighted to see that in one festival both were competing against each other for the top prize! A Neutral Corner, has so far received 17 official selections and was the winner of the prestigious Best Short Film award in the Kodak Short Film Competition (2007).

This past year I have made a few guest appearances at film conventions in the UK and abroad and have finally got an illustrated talk about my career off the ground (see below). It was premiered in Spain in Almeria (where so many of the Spaghetti Westerns were made!) . British venues so far include Gravetye Manor in West Sussex, The Maltings Arts Theatre in St Albans Hertfordshire and The Jermyn Street Theatre , London. I am presently in negotiations with cruiseships, festivals and other venues.

Talking about my career has given me as much pleasure as it appears to have given members of the audience. I am touched to see fans arriving from all over the country to support me and really enjoyed meeting them after the shows. This new departure in my career also gives me a great opportunity to visit new places, so if any of you readers have an idea for an interesting venue I might consider it!
