Description Brilliant and beautiful, in 1942 Veronica Lake was the hottest discovery in Hollywood. Now, dead for forty years, she prowls a stage somewhere between Paramount and Purgatory planning her comeback and raging against the system, her lust for stardom, booze, the wrong men and her spectacular decline into obscurity.
