She was the daughter of Ron Merians, who ran and owned the hugely popular and successful music bar the Joyous Lake in Woodstock, New York from 1970 to 1979. Marron's parents divorced when she was three years old and her mother subsequently remarried. Alas, Valerie's stepfather started abusing her from the age of six. Marron was shipped off to a boarding school at age fourteen. She eventually ran away at age sixteen and headed for Manhattan, where she wound up living on the streets. After making her hardcore movie debut for Eduardo Cemano, Valerie went on to act in a handful of explicit adult features made throughout the early to mid-1970's. During this time Marron not only hung out at such music clubs as CBGB and Max's Kansas City, but also dated Mickey Ruskin, who ran and owned both Max's Kansas City and the Ninth Circle Steak House. Valerie quit the whole porn scene circa 1975 to focus instead on making music by writing and singing her own songs. Marron eventually started dating singer, songwriter, music producer, and bass guitarist Felix Pappalardi. Valerie's relationship with Pappalardi came to an abrupt and tragic end after Pappalardi was shot dead on April 17, 1983 by his jealous estranged wife Gail Collins. In the wake of this unfortunate incident Marron had issues with drugs and depression. Valerie fortunately was able to surmount her drug problems in 1986. Her father Ron Merians died from a brain aneurysm at age 55 in 1989. Moreover, Marron suffered from several serious illnesses that included liver failure and the loss of all her teeth. In addition, Valerie in her latter years lived in a two bedroom apartment with close friend and fellow adult film actress Andrea True. Marron died at age 52 on October 13, 2008 in Woodstock, New York; she was survived by a daughter.Read More
