Peekaboo: The Story of Veronica Lake

[nice clean book with no discernible wear, just some discoloration to the front endpaper; the jacket shows just a touch of surface wear, with a very faint diagonal scratch line on the front panel]. (B&W photographs) Biography of the alluring actress with the peekaboo haircut, whose relatively brief period of stardom in the 1940s, which pretty much ended when Paramount declined to renew her contract in 1948, was prelude to "a downward spiral of alcoholism and mental illness from which four marriages, three children, and a powerful mother were unable to save her" from an ignominious death at age 51.
