Summertimenoir's 1k followers celebration - My top 10 Old Hollywood actresses

9. Veronica Lake

My hair kept falling over one eye and I kept brushing it back. I thought I had ruined my chances for the role.

Veronica Lake photographed by George Hurrell for This Gun For Hire, 1942.

Not since the late Jean Harlow launched the platinum-blonde fad in 1930 had the movies produced such a trichological sensation. Veronica Lake’s hair has been acclaimed by men, copied, by girls, cursed by their mothers and viewed with alarm by moralists. It is called the “strip-tease style,” the “sheep-dog style” and the “bad-girl style” (though few except nice girls wear it), but to most moviegoers it is simply “the Veronica Lake style.” - LIFE Magazine, 24th November 1941.

For any Red Eye fans ("There are dozens of us! Dozens!") I strongly recommend you watch This Gun for Hire. I think you'll really like the dynamic there!
