"In the decade of the 1970s, Val carved out a niche for herself portraying women of questionable morality in British sex comedies. Her acting debut occurred in 1973's 'On the Game', where she took on the role of '2nd Prostitute'. Though her character was meant to disrobe, Val's scenes remained clothed. This oversight was rectified later that year when she appeared in 'The Sex Thief', a softcore comedy that was released stateside as 'Her Family Jewels'. While her role as 'Stripper' did not involve explicit intimacy, it did offer viewers a glimpse of her previously concealed assets. After a brief absence from the screen, Val resurfaced in 1977's 'What’s Up Nurse!' as 'Nudist', although her full frontal nudity was relatively modest according to industry standards. Her final appearance came in the 1979 made-for-TV movie 'Schalken the Painter', after which she departed from the adult film scene, hopefully not permanently."
