Veronica Lake

It's surreal to reflect that Veronica Lake passed away almost half a century ago. Renowned for her femme fatale roles, Lake enjoyed her peak success during the 1940s. 

Regrettably, her job began to falter due to problems related to alcohol and a series of unsuccessful relationships. Ultimately, her struggle with alcohol contributed to her untimely death in 1973, marking her last screen appearance in the 1970 low-budget horror film "Flesh Feast."
