Veronica Lake

Film actress mostly known for the films she made while with Paramount during World War II. Petite and blond, Lake was popular with the soldiers, and her haircut was popular with their girlfriends. After the mid-40s her star slowly declined, and some potential comeback films made in the '60s were failures. Film credits include I Wanted Wings (1941), Sullivan's Travels (1941), This Gun for Hire (1942), The Glass Key (1942), I Married a Witch (1942), So Proudly We Hail (1943), The Blue Dahlia (1946), and Stronghold (1951).

Eighty-nine years ago yesterday, a baby girl called Constance Frances Marie Ockelman was born in deepest Brooklyn. Hardly the name that launched a thousand ships, but a couple of surnames later Veronica Lake would become box office gold in the early 1940s, a sultry blonde who slyly enticed the world from behind her famous peek-a-boo hairstyle. (Irish Independent (Dublin, Republic of Ireland))
