Valerie Van Ost Early Life, Acting Career
Sad to hear we’ve lost Valerie Van Ost, she appears in my favourite ever film, Carry On Doctor, her early scenes in that film are a joy. She was also in Cabby, Don’t Lose Your Head and Again Doctor. Methinks I’ll have to pop Carry On Doctor on later in the lasses memory. RIP. pic.twitter.com/KuE0vCGttg

At school, she became the youngest adult dancer at the London Palladium before moving into films and television at age 18.

Her other film roles included The Beauty Jungle (1964), Mister Ten percent (1967), Corruption (1968), The Smashing Bird I Used to Know (1969), Incense for the Damned (1970), and the Hammer horror film The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973).
