Valerie von Martens started out as an actress in Vienna. There she had a relationship with Karl Farkas. In 1923 she married actor/director Curt Goetz with whom she worked successfully together on the stage. In 1937 she played in "Land der Liebe", directed by Reinhold Schünzel. Goebbels hated the movie and Schünzel had to leave the country. Von Martens and Goetz (who wrote the script) were arresterd by the Gestapo. But nothing else happened and one year later she was in "Napoleon ist an allem schuld" (1938). After the war she played in several more movies.
