Today I took on Constance Frances Marie Ockleman, better known as actor Veronica Lake (1922-1973).

She was another stunning beauty who starred in several unforgettable films, including Sullivan’s Travels, The Glass Key, This Gun For Hire, and The Blue Dahlia.  She would be paired with actor Alan Ladd in seven films, including three of the films I’ve listed above.

Unfortunately, her career following The Blue Dahlia was mediocre at best and heavy drinking took its toll. She would die at the too young age of 50 from hepititis.

Here she is, in better times…
