Smart, sexy, and ice-cool,
in 1942 Veronica
Lake was the hottest discovery in Hollywood, dining
with the President and piloting her own plane across
the continent.
Less than a decade later she was stuck in a dramatic
nose dive – famously sued by her own mother and
bankrupted by the IRS.
Now, in glorious living colour, trapped somewhere
between Paramount and Purgatory, she wrestles
with stardom, booze, the wrong men, and her own
spectacular decline into obscurity.
