Veronica Lake Overview:
Legendary actress, Veronica Lake, was born Constance Frances Marie Ockelman on Nov 14, 1922 in Brooklyn, NY. Lake died at the age of 50 on Jul 7, 1973 in Burlington, VT and was cremated and her ashes scattered at sea.
MINI BIO:
Petite, slinky blonde with sleepy eyes, and unique peek-a-boo hairstyle which, draped over her right eye, swept the country until spoilsports cavilled that factory girls could get such hair caught in machinery. She was highly effective as the icy, husky-voiced femme fatale in nightlife thrillers with Alan Ladd, but soon lost her distinctive looks, and Hollywood quickly cast her aside when her peak days were over. Her drink problems were well publicized and she was four times married and divorced, once (1944-1952) to director Andre de Toth. Died from acute hepatitis.

.
She was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures. Lake was never nominated for an Academy Award.
