“It was a happy set and she made it happy. It was a fun set, she made it more fun. She became Miss Teschmacher. Guys that had gone off the clock and should have gone home, everybody, the whole stage was jammed not to see Miss Teschmacher, but Valerie Perrine,” Donner shared. “Valerie, there’s only one Valerie, and if you can describe Valerie in one word, it’s ‘Valerie.’ Nobody will ever be Valerie,” the director added.
Valerie was helmed by Stacey Souther. You can check out the official description below:
“VALERIE is a short-form documentary (36 mins.) that explores the impact and legacy of legendary Hollywood actress Valerie Perrine. From her early beginnings as a Vegas showgirl, to her Academy Award Nominated and BAFTA & Cannes Film Festival winning role as Honey Bruce in the Bob Fosse directed LENNY, to her iconic role as Eve Teschmacher in the original SUPERMAN, and finally her inspiring battle with Parkinson’s and the resulting physical disabilities – VALERIE charts the high’s and low’s of the storied and beloved actress. Valerie has been a trailblazer and an inspiration for other actresses of her generation and for the greater public at large. This film is a love letter and a personal portrait of the woman who impacted so many people, is adored by millions of fans around the world, and changed the way women were forever perceived in the film industry. It’s a human story and a touching picture of a woman unlike any other and the legacy she’s built and will leave, long after her on-screen personas fade… The film features an amazing list of interviewees like Jeff Bridges, Angie Dickinson, George Hamilton, Stacy Keach, Richard Donner, Loni Anderson, and David Arquette just to name a few.”
Valerie is now available to watch on Vimeo on Demand.
