Valerie Hobson (1917-1998) was a British actress, who appeared in a number of British films during the 1940s and 1950s. She was born in Northern Ireland. Her best-known performance was as the "good" girl in the comedy, Kind Hearts and Coronets[?]. In 1952 she divorced her first husband and married MP John Profumo, giving up acting shortly afterwards.
