In 1958, Valeri joined the Compagnia Attori Associati, where she met Garrani and Salerno; with the latter she established a strong artistic and personal relationship. A tireless actress, from the mid 1990s, Valeri continued to perform on theatrical stages with dedication, mostly in light comedies.[3]
Other activities
Valeri had a very short experience as a movie actress, especially due to the fact of being involved in several plays on stage. Despite this, Valeri has a very profitable career as a voice actress, giving her voice to actresses such as Julie Andrews, Ellen Burstyn, Natalie Wood, Maggie Smith and Anne Bancroft; she finished her dubbing career in 2008, four years after her last work, giving her voice to Mrs. Caloway in Home on the Range.[4][5]
On the small screen, Valeri is remembered mainly for the one role that made her very popular in the 1960s: Mrs. Stoppani, mother of the restless Giannino Stoppani (portrayed by Rita Pavone) in the 1964 short series Il giornalino di Gian Burrasca, directed by Lina Wertmüller.[3]
Personal life and death
Valeri has been romantically engaged with Enrico Maria Salerno. The two had a daughter, Chiara, who is also an actress and a voice actress.[2] On 1 December 2015, Valeri was inducted as an honorary citizen of Forlì.[citation needed]
