Constance Frances Marie Ockleman was born on this day in 1919. In 1941, she began appearing in films under the name
Veronica Lake and was soon a major
Hollywood draw, frequently starring opposite
Alan Ladd in films like
This Gun for Hire (1942),
The Glass Key (1942), and
The Blue Dahlia (1946). Her career took a nosedive in the late 1940s. In the early 1950s she filed for bankruptcy, stopped acting and allegedly drank heavily. In the 1960s, a reporter discovered her working at a hotel bar in
New York. She died of hepatitis in 1973. Today we have the song
Piece Of Me by
BRITNEY SPEARS from her new album
Blackout.

If I ever get lost in the woods and I have two candy bars, I hope one is a Mars Bar and the other is a Baby Ruth. I would eat both of those right away and then I would run around until I was found or I would live with a pack of wolfs.
this Britney song is sorta catchy.
Shoulda used a Veronica Lake song.
Leave Veronica alone.
