She will never, ever be forgotten. Rest In Peace, mia Valeria. -Anthony.”

Her final interview

Even though Valerie battled a host health issues during her lifetime, she admitted during her last interview with Entertainment Tonight that she lived a “great, long” life.

She said:

"You wake up and go, 'Oh! I'm here, another day to live!’. I've had a great long [life], and great stuff's happened to me and my darling husband."

She explained that soon after her lung cancer was cured surgically, they informed her about her brain cancer diagnosis.

Nevertheless, the actress kept humor alive, saying:

"There are 200 different kinds of cancer, so I'm just going my way."
