Valli Valli, born Valli Knust〔(National Film Gallery )〕 (11 February 1882 – 4 November 1927), was a musical comedy actress and silent film performer born in Berlin, Germany. She was descended from an old English family and lived most of her life in England. Her brother was a captain in the Royal Fusiliers, who fought for the British in France in World War I. Her sisters Lulu (1887–1964) and Ida were both actresses, who used the stage names Lulu Valli and Ida Valli.〔(Profile at Stage Beauty site )〕 Her brother-in-law, Philip Curtiss (Ida's husband), wrote ''Mummers in Mufti'' in 1921. She also had a brother named Cyril Knust.〔Cyril married Dorothy Love, and they named their daughter Valli Knust (born on 4 April 1930 in London) after her aunt. On 8 June 1961, this niece married Prince Vsevolod Ivanovich of Russia. See C. Arnold McNaughton, ''The Book of Kings: A Royal Genealogy'', 3 vols.
