Description de l'ouvrage :
"Noir's first bombshell" -Entertainment WeeklyOne of Hollywood's sultriest sirens of the 1940s, Veronica Lake steamed up movie screens with her fragile beauty and exotic hairstyle. A heartthrob of millions during her heyday, she was the hottest ticket around starring in 27 motion pictures, including such film classics as This Gun for Hire with Alan Ladd and the Preston Sturges comedy, Sullivan's Travels. Offscreen Lake's life was a disaster-a controlling mother, three failed marriages, extramarital affairs, a secret abortion and downward spiral due to alcoholism and mental illness-ending up broke, destitute and forgotten. Fully authorized, Peekaboo tells why.
