Veronica Lake

1944. Veronica Lake’s trademark peek-a-boo hair-do (a cascade of golden tresses that fell forward to obscure one heavy-lidded eye) motivated a generation of women to imitate her. Her impact was so dramatic that during the war she was forced by the US government to temporarily change her hairstyle after a number of women in munitions factories got injured when their long locks of hair caught in assembly-line machinery.
