Veronica Lake's Personally Owned Ballet Slippers, Framed Photograph & Lock of Hair From The Joe Franklin Memory Lane Collection - This collection of items were personally owned by actress Veronica Lake. Veronica Lake was an American film, stage, and television actress, who won both popular and critical acclaim for her role in Sullivan's Travels and for femme fatale roles in film noirs with Alan Ladd, during the 1940s. She also became a popular pin-up girl for soldiers during World War II and traveled throughout the United States to raise money for war bonds. This lot includes a pair of ballet slippers, framed photograph and lock of hair. The items were acquired from the collection of Joe Franklin, legendary American radio and television host personality, author and actor, whose show featured famous guests such as Andy Warhol, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Salvador Dali, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and countless others. Franklin had a love of collecting mementos and memorabilia from his guests, and would ask each guest to leave him a personal item, many of which would oblige. These items will come with Franklin's original storage envelopes notated with handwritten information.
