New Articles

You Must Remember This is a podcast created, written, produced and narrated by Karina Longworth and described as "The podcast about the secret and/or forgotten history of Hollywood’s first century"

Back in 2017 she released series called "DEAD BLONDES" [FEBRUARY 20th] and episode 4 was dedicated to Veronica Lake.

"In the case of Veronica Lake, there are only two books available to use as biographical sources: there’s Lake’s autobiography, Veronica, which was ghost-written and authorized by a woman who was penniless and whose life was dominated by the alcoholism that would soon kill her;

and a book called Peekaboo by Jeff Lenberg, which uses as a main source Veronica’s mother, with whom she had an extremely combative relationship."
