Her fame during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood was brief and tragic.

She starred in various classics of the era: Creator/PrestonSturges’ ''Film/SullivansTravels'', Rene Clair’s ''Film/IMarriedAWitch'', and her various {{film noir}}s with Creator/AlanLadd.
Because Veronica and her hairstyle were so popular, she was asked to change it to a "safer" version. Apparently, women factory workers (this was UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo) were getting their hair caught in their machinery because of this hairstyle (as Lake [[https://lisawallerrogers.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/life-magazine-veronica-lake-hair-in-machinery.jpg demonstrated in this photo]]), so Lake changed it to the acceptable Victory Rolls hairdo to appease the US authorities. Purportedly, this caused her stardom to fall quickly.
However, she was difficult to work with and suffered from alcoholism like many stars of her era. After being put in various bad films and going through three unsuccessful marriages, she was rumoured to be completely destitute in the early '60s. However, she gained back some popularity after being discovered by a reporter; she released a well-received autobiography and did occasional stage and TV work.
Her last film appearance was in the horror flick ''Flesh Feast'', which she partially financed. She died alone at the age of 50 as a result of her deteriorating mental health, as well as her binge drinking.
