Valerie Perrine then
American actress and model Valerie Perrine started her Hollywood career in the early seventies as a Las Vegas showgirl in a James Bond film. This put her on the map as Hollywood’s “pretty face,” but it wasn’t long before her talent was discovered. Perhaps her most notable role came in 1974 when she starred opposite Dustin Hoffman in the biographical drama Lenny.
The role of Honey Bruce landed her an Academy Award nomination for the category of Best Actress. Following her memorable performance in Lenny, the actress received another crucial role that shot her Hollywood career – the character of Eve Teschmacher in the Superman film.
