MP3 of the Day

Constance Frances Marie Ockleman was born on this day in 1919. In 1941, she began appearing in films under the name Veronica Lake and was soon a major Hollywood draw, frequently starring opposite Alan Ladd in films like This Gun for Hire (1942), The Glass Key (1942), and The Blue Dahlia (1946). Her career took a nosedive in the late 1940s. In the early 1950s she filed for bankruptcy, stopped acting and allegedly drank heavily. In the 1960s, a reporter discovered her working at a hotel bar in New York. She died of hepatitis in 1973. Today we have the song Piece Of Me by BRITNEY SPEARS from her new album Blackout.
