Synopsis:
Legendary Hollywood actress Valerie Perrine has lived many lives. She began her career as a Showgirl in the neon lit golden era of Las Vegas, and went on to break barriers as the first actress to appear nude on American television. From becoming one of the most sought after motion picture stars of the decadent 1970’s, to her more recent ongoing battle with Parkinson’s Disease, Valerie’s life has been a sensational thrill ride of love, loss, sex, drugs, fame, fortune, adventures, parties, and travels that most of us can only imagine. Valerie Perrine is one of the most luminous and accomplished actress of the 1970s. Her storied career includes her breakout role as Montana Wildhack in George Roy Hill’s “Slaughterhouse Five," Cannes Film Festival and BAFTA wins, a Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated turn as Honey Bruce in the Bob Fosse-directed, Dustin Hoffman-starring film "Lenny”, and an iconic performances as Eve Teschmacher in the 1978 original "Superman.” She paved the way for other actresses of her generation and changed the way women were forever perceived in the film industry. |
