Valerie is one of the most talanted actresses of her time. She played a brillant part in the movie "In a Childs Name". In every role she plays no matter what challanges they give her she plays the part great. Being as versital as she is any role they could throw at her she could play. I remember watching her in her tv debut in "One Day at a Time" and it was very great to watch her grow up in every preformance which proceeded. I wish we could see more of her in a TV series again. She would be an asset to any show she would be on.
