shareNot my type.
But there's a great reference to veronica lake in "the major and the minor."

yup
shareI'll go with the OP - Hot damn!
Always liked her for both her looks and her acting.

I normally don't comment on threads like these, but I completely agree. She was a stunner.
shareAnd add to that the trivia point I just learned--she was 6 to 8 months pregnant when she filmed this!!! Only 2 women knew her secret: the amazingly fabulous Edith Head, who designed her wardrobe, and Mrs. Preston Sturgess. She was afraid they'd never trust her with such a physical role if they knew. So Head designed the outfits to hide the bump...and you can see her holding her arms in front, her purse, etc... Only once did I see where she really really looks pregnant--the scene when she first returns with Sully to the tramp's life, wearing the boy's jacket, and it's evening.... It's so obvious there, but I never noticed until I already knew. And in most scenes, you'd never guess. Edith Head was the greatest designer ever for the big screen. And Veronica Lake was gorgeous!
shareShe must've been small during pregnancy because a big bump isn't easily hidden by wardrobe.
shareSamoanJoes, is that the real you?
Can you hear me now, or have I been speaking to the dead this whole damn time?!
