Born Constance Frances Marie Ockleman, this beautiful actress, noted for her iconic long blonde bangs that always swept across her face, played a femme fatale in film noir pieces with Alan Ladd as well as some comedic roles such as, I Married a Witch opposite Frederic March.

Her complex personality made it difficult to work with her as she became more famous. Even so, Veronica Lake remained a box office draw. She took on a wide variety of roles from a Nazi spy in The Hour Before the Dawn to her comedic role in The Travels of Sullivan. Lake originally went to medical school and intended to become a surgeon, but after taking a role in I Wanted Wings she was named as "the find of 1941," and her career took flight. He famous swooping bangs were an accident of fine droopy hair that became her trademark.
