Veronica Lake, was an American film, stage, and television actress mainly in the 40s.
Lake was best known for her femme fatale roles in films noir with Alan Ladd during the 1940s, her peek-a-boo hairstyle, and films such as Sullivan's Travels (1941) and I Married a Witch (1942). By the late 1940s, Lake's career began to decline because of alcoholism. She made only one film in the 1950s, but had several guest appearances on television. She died at the age of 50 in 1972.
