JoJo and Veronica Lake: a comparison

Pop singer JoJo has a Veronica Lake peekaboo thing going here with her hair at the Henri Bendel "Brown and White Ball" 100 Birthday Bash at the Highline Ballroom in New York City. The date was September 11, 2007. JoJo was born in 1990, so she turned 17 the year this photo was taken.

Fun fact: Veronica Lake was born in 1922, and she turned 17 the year of her first credited movie roles in the 1939 films The Wrong Room and All Women Have Secrets. Both also altered their names--Veronica Lake was born Constance Ockelman, and Jojo was born JoJo Levesque--and we can keep listing these coincidences as long as you like. JoJo had a secretary named Veronica Lake, and Veronica Lake had a secretary named JoJo, and both were succeeded by a man named Johnson. (Kidding! Just a little presidential humor there. Thank you for reading.)
