In Hollywood's wildest years, a precocious beauty from Brooklyn, with an unruly mop of hair over one eye, burst on the scene to become an overnight star. In a brief period of time she made twenty-six pictures, became one of the country's top box-office attractions, and then disappeared. After twenty years of rumors, the same girl made headlines when she was "rediscovered" as a waitress in a New York restaurant. Now she makes perhaps the boldest headlines of all with this book—for these are the uninhibited reminiscences of Constance Ockleman, who was made by Hollywood into Veronica Lake.
