Excerpt: Veronica Lake (November 14, 1922 July 7, 1973) was an American film actress and pin-up model who enjoyed both popular and critical acclaim, most notably for her femme fatale roles in film noir with Alan Ladd during the 1940s, as well as her peek-a-boo hairstyle. Her success did not last. Following a string of broken marriages and long struggles with mental illness and alcoholism, she died of hepatitis. Lake was born as Constance Frances Marie Ockelman in Brooklyn, New York. Her father, Harry E. Ockelman, of Danish-Irish descent, worked for an oil company onboard a ship. Her father died in an industrial explosion in Philadelphia in 1932 when she was ten. Her mother, née Constance Charlotta Trimble (1902-1992), (listed as "Veronica F." on the 1920 census), married family friend Anthony Keane, a newspaper staff artist, a year later, and Lake began using his last name. Lake was sent to Villa Maria, an all-girls Catholic boarding school in Montreal, Canada, which she hated and from which she was expelled. The Keane family later moved to Miami, Florida. Lake attended high school in Miami, where she was known for her beauty. She had a troubled childhood and was, according to her mother, diagnosed as schizophrenic. In 1938, Lake moved with her mother and stepfather to Beverly Hills, where her mother enrolled her in the Bliss-Hayden School of Acting.

Hooray for Polly!!! You're The Best!!!!!
I would like to say "Polly The Mosquito" is a great book for the family.
I believe this book to be for all ages. While learning her habitat she teaches morales and self-discipline. This sweet, lovely, adorable, red
head ventures out on her first journey with the colony. It's amazing
she being the youngest and somehow the smartest. I urge anyone with
children to make this little character part of their book collection.
Hats off to "Polly The Mosquito" Thanks Veronica Lake for writing such
an interesting story about mosquitos. Thanks to Scott Merril for creating
such a cute character. ... Read more
