Veronica Lake (November 14, 1922 – July 7, 1973) was a beautiful film actress.
Lake won both popular and critical acclaim, most notably for her role in Sullivan’s Travels and for her femme fatale roles in film noir with Alan Ladd, during the 1940s. She was also well known for her peek-a-boo hairstyle.
By the late 1940s, Lake’s career had begun to decline in part due to her struggles with mental illness and alcoholism. She made only one film in the 1950s 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.
