True story about Veronica Lake: in the 1940s she was the most bankable female star in Hollywood.
By the late 1950s, her career had taken such a nosedive that she was working as a bartender in NYC to support herself. |

She got a job as a cocktail waitress, which is the last thing any alcoholic schitzophrenic should do but this was the 50s and psychiatric medicine was in its infancy. From there she simply existed while she drank herself to death. Some time in the 70s she was awarded a star on the Walk of Fame. This was when it still meant something. It was the first time she'd been in Hollywood for a couple of decades. When she arrived for the ceremony there were only three people there. They hadn't even brought a camera or microphone. Today people show up to her star in their hundreds daily. She smiled through the whole thing but left Hollywood as soon as the ceremony was over and never went back. She died alone at 50 of accute kidney failure and hepitis. Her autobiography is a good read. So are the recollections of Sue Cameron, a former columnist for The Hollywood Reporter, who wrote of her "She looked like she needed a friend.” |

She hated everyone in Hollywood and was notoriously foul tempered on set. Not really surprising given her psychological frailty and mental health issues.
Hollywood was a meat grinder for women back then. Still is now, but they cover it better. Lamarr had the same opinion of Hollywood as Lake, but she had far more to her character, and a life away from the screen and she didn't have the psychiatric problem. Lake's story is really sad. Perfect example of showbiz chewing someone up and spitting them out when what they really needed was taking care of. |

Daddario does have a very nice face, gorgeous eyes. Also quite ironic since probably half the guys' eyes never travel that far up, with that top tier rack on her!
