Veronica Lake

Here are some shots of the absolutely stunning Veronica Lake. Her look is actually quite a modern one for a vintage Hollywood movie star.
The fact that the model in my promotional video looked similar turns out to be quite advantageous - it makes her look more accessible to a range of customers due to some modern references in her look. It shows how the overall look would translate to the modern customer.

Her story is quite a tragic one. After her rise to fame, she had an equally quick fall from fame. Marlon Brando (one of Lake's ex lovers) famously sent her a cheque for $1,000 after hearing she had been forced to return to waitressing to make money. Lake never cashed the cheque out of pride, but instead framed it to show those who visited her and perhaps to remind her that she was once a famous and successful actress. She died of hepatitis at only 53, after years of battling with alcohol addiction and mental illnesses including extreme paranoia. Apparently only her son and a few unknown strangers attended her funeral. Some of her ashes were even found being sold in an antique store many years later.
