Veronica Lake was at the height of her fame in the 1940s and had become synonymous with the sultry, femme fatale archtype. This was based on the various characters she played in film noir movies with Alan Ladd. It has been said that the Jessica Rabbit character was partially based on this.Lake's career  declined in part due to her struggles with mental illness and alcoholism and she only made one film during the 50s. This is Chet Baker's inimitable version of the song "Laura" from the film noir movie of the same name. It appeared on his 1978 studio album "The Incredible Chet Baker Plays And Sings".  Bruce Thomas is on the piano and Gianni Basso is on the Tenor Saxophone. Enjoy! Thanks For Your Comments.
