Her father was a lighting salesman; her mother was born (and raised) in Dalmeny, Saskatchewan before becoming a teacher and later trained as a nurse. Her parents married in Alberta before her mother immigrated to the United States.[4] Valerie was the middle child of three siblings, between her sister Leanne (b. 1937) and her brother Merrill (b. 1942, who later took the name "Don"). After her parents' divorce in 1957, she also had a half-sister, Virginia,[citation needed] from her father's second marriage to Angela Posillico (1933–1996).She stated that her parents were expecting a boy; after her arrival, her first and middle names were derived from that year's women's doubles tennis champions, Valerie Scott and Kay Stammers.[5][6][7] She was of French, English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh ancestry.[8] Harper based her character Rhoda Morgenstern on her Italian stepmother and Penny Ann Green (née Joanna Greenberg), with whom she danced in the Broadway musical Wildcat.[9][2] She was raised Catholic,[10] although at an early age she "quit" the church.[11]Her family moved every two years due to her father's work. Harper attended schools in South Orange, New Jersey; Pasadena, California; Monroe, Michigan; Ashland, Oregon; and Jersey City, New Jersey. When her family returned to Oregon, Harper remained in the New York City area to study ballet.
