Veronica Lake 11.14.1922 - 07.07.1973 (51 years old)

For a time Veronica Lake with her trademark "peek-a-boo" haircut and great beauty was the hottest thing in Hollywood. After a failed marriage she ran away from Hollywood to eventually die friendless and alone in a Vermont hospital. Some of her remains turned up in a New York antique store in 2004.

Kim Hunter was great in Matter of Life and Death. A very influential film way ahead of its time.

Gail

Talent is talent. Loved all her movies.

Gloria

I have always loved Veronica Lake ......

William

Classic beautiful and elegant. Also the Glass Key with Alan Ladd.

Charles

I have to say, she was incredibly sexy during her time even though she had limited acting ability. Still, with the right part, she could light up the screen, though. I loved her best in "Sullivan's Travels," "This Gun for Hire," "The Blue Dahlia," and "I Married a Witch."

Christopher

Gorgeous actress, but in her later life became a alcoholic n died from a liver ailment!

Armand

American film, stage, and television actress. Lake won both popular and critical acclaim for her role in Sullivan's Travels and for her femme fatale roles in film noirs with Alan Ladd, during the 1940's. She made only one film in 1950's but appeared in several guest-starring roles on television. She returned to the screen in 1966 with a role in the film Footsteps In the Snow, but the role failed to revitalize her career.

Agnes

Beautiful Woman , and Actress ! I loved her in " I Married A Witch " !

James

A wonderful actress. Truly one of the classic beautiful actresses of that era. She was wonderful in Sullivan's Travels. She also co-starred with Alan Ladd in a number of film noir movies. It's so sad that her later life was so tragic. RIP Veronica Lake.

Veronica Lake Birthday: Nov 14, 1919 When Brooklyn-born Constance Ockleman was prodded into a performing career by her ambitious mother, she chose her stepfather's name, Keane, for her stage name. After a year of thankless bit parts, she was dropped by RKO Radio Pictures. When she re-emerged at MGM in a small role in the Eddie Cantor vehicle Forty Little Mothers (1940), she was known as Veronica Lake. While posing for publicity pictures, Lake inadvertently allowed her blonde hair to obscure one eye, thereby creating her movie persona as "the girl with the peek-a-boo bang."

Michael

Signed by Paramount in 1941, Lake quickly ascended to leading roles. Lake won both popular and critical acclaim for her role in Sullivan's Travels and for femme fatale roles in film noirs with Alan Ladd during the 1940s. By the late 1940s, Lake's career began to decline, due in part to her alcoholism. She left Hollywood in the early '50s, making a living with stage appearances. But increasing personal problems and a stage injury effectively ended her career, and, by 1959, she was working as a Manhattan barmaid.

Michael

In June 1973, Lake visited a local doctor, complaining of stomach pains. She was discovered to have cirrhosis of the liver as a result of her years of drinking, and checked into the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington. She died there on July 7, 1973, of acute hepatitis and acute kidney injury.

Michael

I remember her in films with Alan Ladd a m c . pretty, the hair due' of course . I had no idea of her sad life . to die like this . thank you for mentioning her .

Perry

Such a petite, pretty actress. Started the hair trend, “hair parted so falls over one eye”. She and Alan Ladd looked good paired together as both were small. Both were good actors.

Peggy

Veronica Lake was taken to Hollywood at a very young age and forced to be an actress by an obsessive mother, who later sued her for income support. She was estranged from her mom, later from her children and she was diagnosed schizophrenic when she was still an infant.

Rachid

She was pretty good with co-star Joel McCrea in SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS, one of my top fave films. Heard that the on-screen chemistry between them stayed on-screen
