Her father was a merchant. She was educated in London and Paris. She made her stage debut in London at the age of twelve. At thirteen years of age she had a successful run in the musical comedy "Morocco Bound" in Berlin. The next year she performed at London's Drury Lane Theatre in a pantomime version of Cinderella. As an adult, Valli was a beautiful woman. She performed mostly on the English stage but did tour the United States a number of times. These plays include "The Dollar Princess" and her final New York City performance in "Miss Millions" (1919). In all, she appeared in seven Broadway plays between 1905 and 1920.
