A rather dowdy-looking actress, brunette Valentine Grant enjoyed a few years of popularity in the mid-1910s courtesy of her husband Sidney Olcott, who directed her in such fare as The Innocent Lie (1916), a sentimental drama set in Ireland, and Daughter of MacGregor (1916). The latter, which she wrote herself, depicted how little Jean MacGregor fled a nasty stepmother and found happiness in Florida. In her mid-twenties at the time, Grant was probably a little long in the tooth for such fare and she left the screen in 1918.
