Description
Veronica Lake during World War 2 popped on the big screen in the film, "I Wanted Wings" with her signature, "peek-a-boo hairstyle. Lake's long blonde hair accidentally fell over her right eye during a take and it became a popular look for women. However, During World War II, Lake changed her trademark peek-a-boo hairstyle at the urging of the government to encourage women working in war industry factories to adopt more practical, safer hairstyles. While it may have decreased accidents for women working on machinery it may have also changed her career.
Veronica was a difficult and complex actress, Joel McCrea, her co-star in Sullivan's Travels, reportedly turned down the co-starring role in I Married a Witch, saying, "Life's too short for two films with Veronica Lake."
While her Star shone briefly, who can forget her blue eyes with golden hair over one eye and how a small woman in size could fill a screen with glamour and sex!
