Hair Style for Safety WWII

Video Info

Description:

In the early 1940s, American film actress Veronica Lake changed her trademark peekaboo hairstyle to encourage women working in war industry factories to adopt more practical, safer hairstyles. Veronica Lake was a popular American film actress who enjoyed both popular and critical acclaim, especially for her femme fatale roles in film noir with Alan Ladd during the 1940s. A stray lock of her shoulder length blonde hair during a publicity photo shoot led to her iconic hairstyle which hid one eye, and was widely imitated ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_Lake ). Clipped from the US News Review, Issue 5, available at the Internet Archives.
