TripleHHH Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I heard she was 4'11, a real shorty, but a **** for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_bettyidol Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 She's an absolute doll in ''Sullivan's Travels'' and ''The Blue Dahlia'' and can pull off that smokey voice of hers anytime. Sweetness was her trademark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayresorchids Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I especially like the team of Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd--smoldering! It's hard to find all these Paramount films, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleHHH Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 A couple of their works together Ladd and Lake, are on DVD, This Gun for Hire, The Glass Key and The Blue Dahlia, the latter are R2 PAL DVD versions.. I know they made more together, and Ladd wasnt fond of Lake during the end of their films if I read Wikipedia correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyishere Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Veronica is the bomb! The essence of glamour with her hair obscuring one eye. Her look and her voice were great for the movies. I wish she had made more films. I hope that someday TCM acquires the rights to show more of her films. Veronica is so great; she is one of my three favorite classic movie blondes along with Lana and Mae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollywoodGolightly Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 FMC just showed Slattery's Hurricane - she looked good in it, although without the usual hairdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tikisoo Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I have more photos of Veronica than any other actress in my collection. It's great she caused a sensation with the hair ("sweater, sarong & peek-a-boo hair") but that quickly developed into a real movie star, loved by all instead of just teen boys. She made very few films but played everything from broad comedy Sullivan's Travels to gripping drama So Proudly We Hail. She was teeny tiny, very childlike, but had an inner strength and confidence that balances her appeal. Yes, her hair is soft and radiant, reflecting the light like a halo. But I love her big smooth forehead, and seemingly always searching eyes and little bow mouth. She could have stayed in some insipid little girlish roles and probably had a career. But instead her roles really stretched her to become an actress with substance. I love when an actress breaks the bounds of beauty and Veronica Lake certainly did that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved her in those two movies, and she was also very good in The Blue Dahlia and the other movies with Alan Ladd. Hope to watch her in Ramrod fairly soon, too.

VivLeighFan Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yes, I love Veronica Lake, too. I thought she was amazing in Sullivan's Travel's with Joel McCrea and the film noirs she did with Alan Ladd. Very underrated, in my opinion. And it wasn't just her hair that made her famous. That smoky voice and dry, sarcastic attitude was perfect for film noirs and comedies like Sullivan's Travels. It makes me sad to hear about her costars badmouthing her and refusing to work with her afterwards. That's what mental illness and depression does to people. It affects your behavior and changes who you are as a person. If only people had a better understanding of those things back then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyofshalott Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 One of her favorite movies for me is "Sullivan's Travels". I love the chemistry between her and Joel McCrea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
