How Old Is She?!
Lake was welcomed into the world on November 14, 1922, in Brooklyn, and was given the name Constance Frances Marie Ochelman. Yikes! No wonder she wanted a different stage name. But anyway, I should point out that some sources claim she was born in 1919, but a 1920 United States Census revealed that her father was single and childless at the time.

A census from 1930 claimed that Lake was only seven years old at the time, which would have meant she was born in 1922. In her autobiography, Lake revealed that her birth year was, in fact, 1922.
