Description

What a tragic figure Veronica was. Diagnosed as a schizophrenic as a child, forced into a Hollywood career by her mother, used and abused by the Hollywood system until her condition made her into a pariah, plagued by bad marriages, the loss of a child, alcoholism. She was abandoned by the world, ended up an old woman long before her time, waiting tables and eventually dying at 50 of an alcoholism-related illness.

Despite it all, Veronica did have her time in the sun. One of the most striking women ever to grace the silver screen, she leaves behind a lasting legacy of glamour and beauty to rival most any Hollywood beauty who came before or after.
