Date Sold 3/20/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 8 lobby cards from Veronica Lake movies. Veronica Lake was an actress from the 1930s to the 1970s and best remembered from the 1940s as the sexy girl in many film noirs. Some of her movie roles include: Sullivan's Travels, This Gun For Hire, So Proudly We Hail!, The Glass Key, Hold Back the Dawn, The Blue Dahlia, I Married a Witch, and Star Spangled Rhythm. Note that many people remember the story of her cutting her hair, but it is quite likely that they remember it "wrong". What was the story? It was that she cut her hair because women were working in factories, and the government did not want women to get their hair caught in machines, so they asked Miss Lake to be a role model and "cut hers first". While it is true that Veronica Lake was a gigantic star in 1942, and it is true that she cut her hair at that time, the above is not the correct story, but one of those "urban legends"! We auctioned a great still of her where it explained that she offered to cut her famous long hair as an inducement to get people to buy war bonds. After $180,000 was raised, she cut 1" of her hair, and she said that "for $5,000,000, she'll cut the whole thing off"! Of course, that money was raised, and she DID cut her hair, and sadly discovered that her wonderful hair was a major part of her appeal, and her stardom quickly diminished. Note that the items in this lot are from the 1940s (there are multiple cards from some titles; see our images). Condition: very good. Most of the lobby cards are in "very good" condition. A few have enough wear that they would qualify as "good to very good" or "good", and some are better than "very good". The "older" or "better" cards are in the worst condition.
