As a long time reader of the Boing Boing blog which is just great, off-beat journalism and commentary.. So I was pleased to see them have an article on my favourite actress.
As is their remit Boing Boing were reporting on a blog article by Messy Nessy around the fall of Veronica Lake into obscurity. It’s a nice read and a website I’ve added to my casual browsing list.
What happened to Veronica Lake? The screen goddess ended up working in a dive bar.~MARK FRAUENFELDER (Boing Boing)
The article itself goes..
"In 1962, a reporter with the New York Post got a tip that screen goddess of the 1940s, Veronica Lake, was working as a barmaid in the lobby of the Martha Washington Hotel, a low rent boarding house in Midtown Manhattan.
Using the name Connie de Toth, she said she enjoyed her job because “I like people. I like to talk to them."
