When we asked Jeff Hafler, hair historian of Twentynine Palms, what he could share with us about Veronica Lake, this is what he had to say:
“Veronica Lake was famous for her hair and it was believed that after she was asked to cut it during the war, it was the demise of her career! Women were working in factories and couldn't see through their bangs, causing them to lose fingers and even get there hair caught in the machines! Veronica Lake was asked to cut her hair as an example of how to properly wear your hair in the factory!...Veronica Lake reminds me of 1940's glamour!!"
