Wow man...
So lastnight I got the Veronica Lake autobiography on Kindle...
https://www.amazon.com/Veronica-Autobiog...B081SLT65Y
I'm about 60 pages in so far, it got pretty late and I had to stop reading.
But I CANNOT BELIEVE this is what Veronica Lake (Connie) sounded like...
It's AMAZING.
She was...
Ahead of her time. Which sounds so weird to say.
Usually when someone is ahead of their time, they're not really accepted WHILE they're here. But she was.
Reading it is like having a conversation with her, straight up.
Some of the words and the phrasing is so modern...
I have wondered if there was some tampering in the editing of the book, but I kinda doubt it considering the oddities of the language sometimes.
It's a strange dichotomy...
At times, it sounds like you're reading from someone who is STILL ahead of their time, and other times it's like 1910 again.
She had a wicked sense of humor and a very interesting story.
I was glad to read about her early days in hollyweird and how she managed to escape unscathed from industry sex pervs.
It was cool reading about her first husband and how they ended up together, it was actually very sweet.
There have been a few quotes from the book that have stuck out for me so far, this is my fave...
