One of the most beautiful visions of 1940s films was that of Veronica Lake. Veronica was known for her peek-a-boo hairstyle and was an iconic image of film noirs. Some of her famous movies of the time included 'This Gun for Hire,' 'The Hour Before Dawn,' 'Hold That Blonde,' and 'Out of this World.' Veronica was a big-screen name in the 1940s, and her success in acting seemed unstoppable.
By the early 1950s, Lake's career had hit the skids. Still suffering from schizophrenia and in a state of paranoia, she turned to alcohol to relieve herself from the burden. This only added to her deteriorating mental state. With the stress of three broken marriages, an overbearing stage mother, a manic depressive personality, and a self-destructive addiction to liquor, she pushed herself over the edge. After 1952, she would make only two more films, both grade B horror flicks. The beautiful superstar with the peekaboo hair who entertained and inspired so many never received the professional help that would have saved her from the mental suffering. She would endure it alone. She eventually frequented cheap hotels in New York City and worked as a bartender, where she obtained a steady supply of alcohol. She never revealed her true identity, and even her co-workers were in the dark about her glamorous past.
By the late 1960's she had reached rock bottom, holing up in her apartment out of paranoid fears that the FBI was following her and tapping her phone. Those who knew her in the '60s said that the once great beauty had turned into a worn-out mess, with rotting teeth, unwashed hair, and the pasty complexion of a bloated alcoholic. Saranac Lake native, James Quigley, recalls an encounter with her while working at a popular New York City bar at #1 Fifth Avenue in the '60s. He introduced himself as a Saranac Laker, and Veronica seemed happy to meet someone from her old hometown. Jim said, "I went to the bar at #1 Fifth Avenue, a very chic and popular bar for New Yorkers. Veronica was tending bar, and when I told her I was from Saranac Lake, she cried, kissed me and continued to work. What a moment!"
In the early 1970s, Veronica made a brief return to the spotlight with her autobiography publication, which earned her enough cash to relocate to the British Isles. She married for a fourth time- to an English sea captain, a commercial fisherman known as "Captain Bob," but that soon ended in divorce. In early 1973, she returned to the states. According to the doctors who treated her, she was already "pretty far along" with an acute case of hepatitis. She was not long in Saranac Lake before she was admitted to Will Rogers Hospital. According to her doctor in Vermont, Warren Beeken, Saranac Lake did not have the resources to treat her and the Medical Center in Burlington. On June 26, 1973, she was transferred to the Fletcher Allen Hospital.
Her presence in the hospital was not publicized- because, according to her publicist William Roos- "Frankly, I didn't think she was going to die." He was not aware of the extreme state of her medical condition. According to Dr. Beeken, her case of hepatitis had persisted for some time before she entered the Fletcher Allen Hospital, and her situation had deteriorated rapidly.
Early on July 7, 1973, Veronica Lake passed away, alone and forgotten at 50.
