Ambrose Ok, so clue me, how the hell is Kirk Douglas on the list and no Cary Grant, how does this happen. You man as well put Micheal Rennie on the list if you include Kirk. Alright I know I'm on the wrong team to be voting on sexy men, but I know if I came in the room and saw certain guys there I'd know I wasn't going to get much attention. I realized this list is women voting. but what the hell happened to Dean Martin and Sean Connery? Oh by the way, where's the young Marlon Brando. Did age steal away the images of him in A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront and The Fugitive Kind? And by the way, is Tom Cruise'>Tom Cruise really sexy or is it just the cocky smile which doesn't seen so cool lately, and while we're at it, where's Robert Redford and Paul Newman or Burt Reynolds? In their prime those guys were scary with their ability to get female attention. Ambrose Ambrose >

The interview will air in America this morning. of my completely my crazy after she was finally properly medicate. She got arrogantly defensive about what she was doing and would be confrontational in violation of standard venue rules if her actions or lifestyle was challenged. Note the key word Ann Curry said. The magazine only incidentally set off Ms Jolie. It was the word insane that the always clumsy interviewing Ms. Currry used which raised Ms Jolie's hackels. Also note the "you and I" as if they are both complicit in the situation when it was only Ms Jolie's actions which call attention to themselves without anyone other than herself being responsible. Classic diversionary paranoid reaction. Flash back a few years and everyone, particularly her slimebag father was telling her to get help for her mental problems. Unlike like recovering drunks or addicts for whom humility is usually part of recovery, mental patients, paranoids and manic-depressives often take on a condition of self-justifying denial and become resentful, hostile and even agressive when reminded of their former mentally disordered condition. Another symptom is delusions of how others treat them or grandios (and therefore self-righteously unchallengeable) delusions of their own importance or the importance of their actions and motives. This could explain her relief foundation which seems to have no focus, do no decernable aid work and basically as a self promotion mechanism for Ms Jolie's ego--and movies about to be release. Medication has made her predictable and almost boringly explainable. I long for the old days when AJ wasn't medicated and for another really out of control whacko female celebrity, Margo Kidder, Veronica Lake, Gene Tiernry, Winona Rider is a good one but for some reason stardom has never elevated her from being a bit of a light-weight (bad pun for the tiny Miss Rider. I want to see a totally out of control, way over the line, off the reservation crazy woman besides Courtney Love who's tiresome and repetitive. CL show update her act, go for a Miss Faversham, Baby Jane, Norma Desmond thing. Or Bea Lillie pulling out her tits at an awards ceremony when she was in her sixties or Frances Farmer running though a hotel lobby naked. Oh, for the good old days. I keep hoping someone like Daryl Hannah or Andie MacDowel will suddenly jump the sanity fence and join the Farrah on the open range to run as herd of aging female psychos and dopeheads. Ambrose >

If were fifteen years younger and met her in a bar I'd make a point of talking to her but if she didn't give me her number I wouldn't be devastated as if say I'd been refused by Gene Tierney, Veronica Lake or Ava Gardner, or Grace Kelly had I been in their age frame. I've lived in the clouds of "what if" for almost thirty years because Mimsy Farmer gave me a lingering smile in a market in Rome thirty+ years ago. Back then I was scared to talk much because people always were always laughing at my accent. I couldn't even bring myself to speak to her or ask her for an autograph. In those days, hard core, rural southern accents like mine was back then, were associated with dueling banjos and city boys getting raped by guys who talked like me, while on canoe trips or like rednecks in pickup trucks shooting 12 guage loads of double ought buckshot into Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda. Completely without makeup, Miss Farmer was truly a goddess that sunny day in Rome. Ambrose
  • << From: "JFlexer" jf096231fspam@fbuster.yahoo.com << How do they know the ashes were the body of Veronica Lake? Even if they're labeled, that's likely not what's in there. They didn't cool down crematoriums to gather an individual's ashes between funerals. More likely they gathered up the ashes at the end of the day and divided them up.

The actress died penniless in 1973 from hepatitis and her ashes were thought to have been scattered on the ocean. Now her fans are planning a new burial service for the Blue Dahlia star. Organiser Laura Levine said: "It's a strange little footnote to a fascinating legacy. "I'm a huge fan of Veronica Lake. I just think she's brilliant, gorgeous, incredibly talented and underappreciated." Copyright (c) Press Association Ltd 2004, All Rights Reserved.

  • Celebrity Gossip
  • The petite, sultry blonde with the low, husky voice and "peek-a-boo" hairstyle (long, wavy tresses hanging down over one side of her face) zoomed to stardom in the early 1940s, was a top screen attraction (and favorite pinup girl of GIs) during the WW2 years, and virtually disappeared by decade's end. She entered films in 1939 under the name of Constance Keane, snagging bits in that year's All Women Have Secrets, Sorority House and Dancing Co-Ed and 1940's Forty Little Mothers and As Young As You Feel The following year, under contract to Paramount and rechristened Veronica Lake, she played the second fe- male lead in I Wanted Wings and all but stole the film out from under the noses of leading men Ray Milland and William Holden. Lake got her big break W_hen Paramount's resident genius, writer-director Preston Sturges, chose her to star opposite Joel McCrea in Sullivan's Travels (also 1941), a brilliant comedy-drama in which she played a failed Hollywood hopeful taken under the wing of big-time director McCrea. The film's success assured Lake's own, and when the diminutive blonde was costarred with short leading man Alan Ladd in This Gun for Hire (1942)-a taut thriller from Graham Greene's story-a screen team was born. She delivered an effective performance in Rene Clair's clever I Married a Witch Then Ladd and Lake were rushed into The Glass Key (also 1942), a modestly budgeted remake of a Dashiell Hammett crime drama, the success of which guaranteed promising futures for them both. She and her hairstyle were so popular that Billy Wilder made a joke about them in his comedy The Major and the Minor (1942), while Lake herself participated in a gag song, "A Sweater, A Sarong and a Peekaboo Bang" with Paulette Goddard and Dorothy Lamour in Paramount's Star Spangled Rhythm (also 1942). And yet, Lake's career never took off the way Ladd's did. She starred and cameoed in a string of films for Paramount, including So Proudly We Hail! (1943), The Hour Before the Dawn (1944), Bring on the Girls, Out of This World, Duffy's Tavern, Hold That Blonde, Miss Susie Slagle's (all 1945), The Blue Dahlia (1946, a Raymond Chandler-written thriller that reunited her with Ladd), Variety Girl (1947), Saigon, The Sainted Sisters and Isn't It Romantic? (all 1948), but never enjoyed the critical enthusiasm she'd engendered in her early appearances. (It almost seemed as if her allure disappeared when she was forced to remove the peekaboo bangs; that occurred when wartime defense plants complained that women who'd imitated her hairstyle were at risk of getting their hair caught in machinery!) Her performances ranged from inspired to lackluster; she did some of her best work in the 1947 Western Ramrod reteamed with Joel McCrea and directed by then-husband Andre de Toth. Lake starred in Slattery's Hurricane (1949, for de Toth) and Stronghold (1951) before vanishing from the screen. Her marriage to de Toth dissolved in 1952 along with her career; she filed bankruptcy petitions and subsequently disappeared. In later years she made headlines several times by being arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. By the early 1960s she'd been reduced to working as a cocktail waitress in the lounge of a downtown New York hotel. She eventually returned to acting, winning roles in minor stage productions and two lowbudget films, the Canadian-made Footsteps in the Snow (1966) and Flesh Feast (1970), an execrable horror cheapie. She wrote a 1971 autobiography, "Veronica."
  • "I will have one of the cleanest obits of any actress. I never did cheesecake like Ann Sheridan or Betty Grable. I just used my hair."
  • "You could put all the talent I had into your left eye and still not suffer from impaired vision."
  • Measurements: 33C-21 1/2-33 1/2 (her own words), (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)
  • An accomplished aviatrix.
  • Got her big break W_hen teamed with the only actor in Hollywood relatively near to her in height, Alan Ladd. Ladd was 5' 6" and she was just 4' 11".
  • Women in the 1940s (and even Kim Basinger 50 years later for the movie L.A. Confidential) lost most or all of their hair trying to copy her platinum blonde hair color.
  • A 1943 Paramount newsreel shows Veronica adopting an upswept hairdo at the behest of War Womanpower Commission, to discourage "peekaboo bangs" on Rosie the Riveter.
  • Veronica took up flying in 1946 and in 1948 flew her small plane from Los Angeles to New York.
  • Children: Elaine Detlie, b. 21 August 1941; William Detlie, lived 8-15 July 1943; Andre Michael De Toth III, b. 25 October 1945; Diana De Toth, b. 16 October 1948.
  • Her height variously given as "barely five feet" to 5' 2" Photos indicate the shorter height.
  • Birth year usually given as 1919 but her autobiography and Lenburg's highly negative biography both indicate 1922.
  • Parents: Harry Ockleman, Danish seaman, died in ship explosion February 1932; Constance Charlotta Trimble.
  • 'Peekaboo' hairstyle, covering right side of forehead and sometimes partly over right eye.
  • 'Constance Keane' (her stepfather's surname), beauty pageant winner, came to Hollywood with her star-struck mother in 1938. Enrolled in the Bliss Hayden School of Acting, she began playing extra and bit parts, eventually in about 6 films. An abortive screen test at MGM led to a better one at Paramount, a contract, and a breakout role in I Wanted Wings (1941), as a torch-singing vamp. Producer Arthur Hornblow Jr. renamed her Veronica Lake for this film; she was 17. Her best films include two comedies, _Sullivan's Travels (1942)_ and I Married a Witch (1942), and her three film-noirs with Alan Ladd (1942-46). Her screen image was cool yet sultry, tough yet vulnerable. Her comedy talent was recognized by 'Rene Clair' and Preston Sturges but not by Paramount, which then cast her in cameos and routine supporting roles until 1948 W_hen her contract was dropped. Mismanagement by director-husband André De Toth and intermittent heavy drinking ended her film career by 1952. She had steady TV and stage work until 1959 when a severe ankle break sidelined her; she resumed work as a Baltimore TV hostess in 1962, returned to the stage 1963 and appeared in plays (and two low-budget films) through 1970. She was 53 when she died of hepatitis in 1973. The great films and performances for which she is and will be remembered date from 1941-1946 when she was 21-26 years old.
