Gina Wilhelm Actress – Veronica Lake
Her breakout role was in 1941’s “I Wanted Wings.” Though “only” the second female lead, she stole scene after scene.
She became known as one of the most reliable box office draws in Hollywood, and was frequently paired with Alan Ladd on screen.
It seems the studio didn’t know how to promote Lake or the film. One tagline was “Veronica Lake is on the Take.” Catchy, but completely unrelated to the movie.
