I love Veronica Lake! I'm glad she has a thread. I never thought to look for one!

I don't think this has been posted. From ebay.

I found this and thought I'd share it, since it shows just how tiny she was...

From Dr. Macro's High Quality Movie Scans

I'm the same size (height/measurements) as Veronica was, and after seeing this picture, I'm like, "Do I really look that itty next to other people?"

Anyway, this is from the film Star Spangled Rhythm, in which she sang "A Sweater, A Sarong and A Peek-a-boo Bang" with Paulette Goddard (left) and Dorothy Lamour (centre).

For reference, Dorothy Lamour was 5'5" and Paulette Goddard was 5'4".

I found the bit from Star Spangled Rhythm on YouTube:

I don't know how to post it in the thread; I apologize for my ineptness. Cute performance, though, by all three ladies, and Veronica had a nice voice.

Nice video! She was tiny, but beautiful and glamorous.

Thanks -lucyinthesky- and diormouse! I'm little also, i'm 5'1 and Veronica was 4'11. But i always think the same thing! I must look so small next to everyone but i don't feel like i'm that small!

Check out how tall the platforms on her shoes were! Supposedly that's why Edith Head designed so many long gowns for her films - so they would conceal the platforms she had to wear.

Mae West did the same thing because she was only 5'. She would wear six inch heels with long dresses so no one could see.
