In the first place, Veronica Lake could NOT possibly have been a "paranoid schizophrenic" as the author (and mother) claim: no one with that level of mental illness could possibly remember lines; perform in any way before a camera; much less create an "image" which her studio bosses at Paramount Studios embraced.

eronica Lake never achieved the legendary status enjoyed by other stars of her day, but she remains, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced the silver screen.
At her peak she was the most popular actress in America, but, sadly, it wasn’t to last: within a few short years of reaching the top her career was in decline, and the once shining star was on her way to becoming little more than a footnote in Hollywood history.
   This tribute is in remembrance of Veronica Lake, the star; a woman of exceptional beauty and charm; tough, yet with a certain vulnerability; the kind of woman a man would gladly play the sucker for.

The petite, sultry blonde with the low, husky voice and "peek-a-boo" hairstyle (long, wavy tresses hanging down over one side of her face) zoomed to stardom in the early 1940s, was a top screen attraction (and favorite pinup girl of GIs) during the WW2 years, and virtually disappeared by decade's end.
Lake got her big break when Paramount's resident genius, writer-director Preston Sturges, chose her to star opposite Joel McCrea in Sullivan's Travels (also 1941), a brilliant comedy-drama in which she played a failed Hollywood hopeful taken under the wing of big-time director McCrea.
The film's success assured Lake's own, and when the diminutive blonde was co-starred with short leading man Alan Ladd in This Gun for Hire (1942)-a taut thriller from Graham Greene's story-a screen team was born.
