VERONICA LAKE WITH BRACELET (1942) Publicity portrait

[Los Angeles]: Paramount Pictures, 1942. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Tape repair at top right corner, about fine.

Veronica Lake displays her iconic appearance in this unusual portrait in which she sports a designer bracelet, in promotion for her work in This Gun for Hire. The original attached paper blurb on verso calls it a “He and She” bracelet, designed by Hobe. A picture of “he” and “she” can be inserted in the hearts.
