Valerie Leon
My introduction to the actress Valerie Leon was at quite a young age. Bolstered by the fact that my Dad liked the lady too (quite a lot!) some of that enthusiasm must have passed to me and I found myself also in love with this beautiful, Amazonian actress from a very early age. About 10 or 11 years old, as I recall - all from watching one episode of The Persuaders, in which she played a "Space Queen".
Memories of this particular episode are very feeble now - and I've never seen it since (not even in a repeat), but I do recall the huge impact the striking woman had on me in subsequent years. An impact that has stayed with me all through younger years and has lasted right up to now - almost 40 years later.
So, from the Carry On films (which is all they showed on TV in the 70's and 80's!) to the headline starring (duel) part in a classic Hammer Horror film, this is my little "homage" to Valerie Leon - just a couple of pages to celebrate one of the most beautiful women in the world.
Valerie has her own official website, on which she has many pictures, a showreel and up to date information about her career to date. There's also an online shop. where you can buy signed photographs and Valerie Leon memorabilia.
What follows on this page is Valerie's biography, charting her career from first appearing on stage in 1967 to presenting her own autobiographical talk in 2010 and a small section of "Trivia". The "Quotes" section is mainly quotes from her appearances at conventions or events in recent years.
Linked to this page is Valeries full Filmography - a complete (as far as we can tell) listing of her Film, Television and Theatre appearances up to and including 2009.
