Veronica Lake

Highest Rated: 100% Sullivan's Travels (1941)

Lowest Rated: 13% Isn't It Romantic? (1948)

Birthday: Nov 14, 1919

Birthplace: Brooklyn, New York, USA

An icy blonde whose trademark hairstyle - a cascade of golden tresses that obscured one heavy-lidded eye - remained among the enduring images of Hollywood glamour, Veronica Lake was for a time, one of the most popular and sought-after actresses in motion pictures. She starred in a handful of features that, though the years, earned legendary status, including the film noirs, "This Gun for Hire" (1942) and "The Blue Dahlia" (1946), as well as the smart comedies, "Sullivan's Travels" (1941) and "I Married a Witch" (1942). She also motivated a generation of women to imitate her cool sexuality and chic style, at the same time, causing an equal number of men - particularly fighting WWII G.I.s - to fall for her. Lake stood the test of time as a Tinseltown icon, inspiring tribute in songs, literature, and movies.
