Film noir actress _____ Lake, died 1973 (8)

I believe the answer is:

veronica

(Other definitions for veronica that I've seen before include "Girl's name; herbaceous plant" , "Blue-flowered plant in a cover, oddly" , "Lady" , "Girl" , "Plant of the foxglove family in a cover, oddly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
