Veronica Lake: Striking Collection of 8 Original Key Book Stills and 4 Double Weight 8 x 10 Portraits. Veronica Lake (1922-1973) Blond sensation coined the "Peek-A-Boo Girl" due to her long hair cascading, which became a trend. She made her debut in Hollywood while still a teen, skyrocketing in popularity, which Paramount capitalized on by giving her great comedic roles and film noirs that have become classics. She remains one of the most collected stars from the 1940s, making this collection a true find. Key book stills are highly prized by collectors as they were a collection of stills that studio publicists would travel with and meet with newspapers and magazines to offer exclusive portraits so as not to duplicate. Offered are 8 such stills, double weight images with Ms. Lake never looking lovelier. Each one is stamped on verso "Approved Advertising Advisory Council, July 8, 1941, Hollywood." Also included are three double weight 8 x 10" glamour portraits and one stunning portrait on the set of SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS one of the all time great Preston Sturges comedies. Overall in fine to excellent condition and a must for collectors. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
