Fun fact: Lake was bartending at the Martha Washington in the early '60s, where she crossed paths with future top model and 'Gillian Girl' Anne Welles.
Fun fact #2: Diana Ross’ “Eaten Alive” album cover was inspired by this famous Veronica Lake photo.

Her last movie makes "Trog" look a dignified outing.

Veronica was more of a heterosexual icon.

She was mentally ill, probably schizoaffective disorder with an alcohol use disorder. Many on The DL have much in common with her.

She’s so pretty and had such a sad story.

I just got finished watching The Blue Dahlia. Solid movie but Lake wasn’t in it as much as I hoped. What’s her best film noir?

[quote] Veronica Lake, rarely mentioned on DL
Because "Veronica Lake" is of no interest. I'm sure her real was Matilda Schwartzberg.

What was with the paramount starlets. Veronica, Gail Russell, Frances Farmer, Helen Walker… they all seemed to have tragic lives.

Real name = Connie Ockelman.
Now I may have watched a Connie Ockelman movie many, many tears ago but they have evaporated from my memory.
One part of my brain has informed another part of my brain that this memory is not worth retaining.
