About This Item
8vo, 281pp., first American printing. Book and the dustwrapper are in near fine condition—jacket shows minor fraying and a few small tears. Co-written by Donald Bain. The 1940s pin-up sensation Veronica Lake—Paramount's top star from that era—had more than her share of lows, and it is possible to portray her life as tragic. Yet a different picture of her emerges from this late-in-life autobiography, in which she comes across as deeply introspective and devoid of bitterness. In it, she recognizes both the bad and good in midcentury Hollywood, a town in which money "was so plentiful it often seemed that much of it was spent in desperate moves to get rid of it." A book which is now increasingly scarce and hard to find in first edition.
