You're not alone. What really clinches it is the realization that almost any of her (male) fans would have been better for her than the succession of dirt-bag men she married.
Whaaat? Damn, you're right... It's them! But for your comment, I would have never guessed they were precisely those two guys. It's just amazing how they came to pieces in less than ten years, according to their next movies, and kept getting worse by the lustrum...
Veronica Lake looked stunningly beautiful in this film. Though a minor part in "I Wanted Wings" she held her own in every scene she was in. You just wanted to look at her and forget anyone else was in the room. She had other memorable films in the years to follow, and had scene stealing moments. Sadly, she didn't age well and had her share of sorrows later in her career and life. Her autobiography "Veronica" gives a glimpse of these things.
Veronica Lake:started the peek-a-boo hair craze with this movie. Along with a few others, was the inspiration for the final version of Jessica Rabbitt. A 4'11" enigmatic star forever remembered on Hollywood's Walk Of Fame, who's shine left us all too early.
+Erik Exner dont veronika look like french actress and nazi agent Corinne Luchaire? both wear pee ka boo in 1941 ...why ? was Veronika just another nazi agent ? both possessed and sugestive look like sisters
Veronica Lake is exactly what a "10" looks like! I loved her the first second I laid eyes on her...
Veronica Lake is sublime! everything about her is so beautiful, her mannerisms and half raised brow all so infectiously commanding!
I'm nearly obsessed by Veronica.

It just happened to me after watching "This Gun For Hire" with her and Alan Ladd.
that just shows you have excellent taste.

Oh Definitely the golden age of cinema. Veronica Lake looked beautiful and both Ray Milland and William Holden looked so handsome.

So...that's what started "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way".
I think I'm in love. 😎
Hottest 40's starlet, period. Absolutely smokin'.
Sad story though.

The most beautiful actress ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E VONEXNER almost,but gene Tierney
I agree her and Lana Turner are the two most beautiful [in my opinion].
so much elegance and beauty divine, that dress...
Wow William Holden was very young and extremely handsome. I fell in love with him.
I always felt a lot of sympathy for her. As I watched this
I decided On New Years Eve I'll wear a nice red sequin mini dress. 🧚🏻♀️❤️
She was stunning. Her mother forced her into acting but she was a natural star.
she was so perfectttttttttttttttttt
+gustavo jose iosef Caro hoje dia não existe diva como ela sim existir são poucas.
+gustavo jose iosef Caro yes one great dame !
She was only 1.50 "tall" but pretty.Ciao.
Geez , Holden looks so young here.
Depending how long production took - Veronica was probably 18 years old when this was filmed .....
Costume designer Edith Head said Lake was the smallest "normal" adult she ever met. She wasn't even 5 feet tall!
At 48 years old, on The Dick Cavett Show, she says she is 5' 2". She must've grown since she started as a teen in movies
@@Ma_Ba Many women were 5'2" in that era, and it wouldn't have been commented on much. I really think Lake was even smaller.
Judging by the height of the rest on average, I would say she was around 5 feet for sure.
She was 5'2"
@@sezwhom No way...women actresses like Dorothy Lamour at 5' 5" towered above her..
The song 'Born to Love' was dubbed by Martha Mears.
Beautiful 😍
FYI she's 19 here! Crazy huh
WOW
She's 17 here. That's what her book says.
The real life Jessica Rabbit!! what a gorgeous woman Ms Lake was may she rest in peace!! =)
julia villa well said on the Jessica rabbit 👍
Funny I thought that too!
Really fabulous ! X
Beautiful RCA 50-A microphone.
I like the ice box for energy use nostalgia.
Really, stunningly beautiful Veronica Lake and you notice an old microphone? Somebody needs to check their man card.
Such a great title for a movie
okay. now i feel like watching this movie lol
It's so sad, though.
Sublime.
she's so hot
Veronica was a natural blonde.
Wow. Some director knew exactly what he was doing....
great song is she singing ..is there any Veronika recording of 40`s ...Corinne Luchaire work in Radio Paris during occupation wearing pee ka boo
linda diva maravilhosa adoro essa sao verdadeira mulheres elegante
+Romario Garcia acho q foi a mais bonita do cinema
& further from above. CONSTANCE MOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tiny little body. She is a stocking stuffer.
Mercy, but she is short. Even in heels she didn't reach Ray Milland's chin. Worth taking a longer shot to get that face in camera.
Knockouts. Her, Rita, Lauren. Of course Marilyn
Veronica's vocals?
+Peter William No sir, voice over.
+Erik Exner dont veronika look like french actress and nazi agent Corinne Luchaire? both wear pee ka boo in 1941 ...why ? was Veronika just another nazi agent ? both possessed and sugestive look like sisters
Garbage. Not really you are so good looking buddy!!
Hi Guy! Erik
Neither Lake nor Holden (especially Lake) aged well due to booze. Don't drink!
ToyKingWonder Same with Ava Gardner.
All the “gorgeous people” of Hollywood’s golden age that drank aged horribly
But at least they didn’t have big inflated breasts and lips! Lol
Doesn’t work anymore. Alcohol, smoking and drugs are the lifeblood of youths nowadays. Hate jt
She was tiny. Only 4'11"
really? She looks like she is 5 flat or inch taller. It's so nice to know hahahaha
4'11''? But it's only 1,25/26 cm, I think she was at least 5'.
Simona X She was indeed 4'11. And it's about 150 cm.
She was a teenager and still growing. When she was 48, on The Dick Cavett Show, she says she is 5'2" and recalls that Alan Ladd was 5''8".
@@Ma_Ba she was 4'9" and he was 5'4"
