I’m continuing my conversations with brilliant women for Women’s History Month. I’m talking with Valerie Bittner, model, actor and voice artist. Valerie talks the beginning of her career and how things have changed through her 31 years in the industry. 

Valerie Bittner is an independent model, actor and voice artist who states no job is too big, too small or too bizarre! On any given day, Valerie Bittner can be raving about the latest techniques to combat underarm sweat, sitting on the hood of a Mercedes being ran through a car wash or stabbed in the chest in a Bride of Frankenstein spoof. Most recently, Valerie had her face ripped off by a werewolf in the film 12 to Midnight and portrayed an OB/GYN in a video training medical professionals on how to speak properly to transgender clients. By now, you’ve all seen Valerie get crow barred in the head, shot with a 22, blown up in a dumpster & beaten with a baseball bat on re-runs of Forensic Files. When Valerie isn’t pretending to be someone else, she can be found playing Ninja Turtles, having pirate parties and cooking with her four grandsons.

Valerie is also the President of the Race for Adam Foundation, raising money to find treatments & a cure for the ultra-rare, fatal disease Niemann-Pick Type C.
