I Met her in Kroger in Versailes Kentucky. My Mother was her vintage and said, that lady looks like Kim Novak, and it was her. She was very nice and easy. She was buying vegetables, told us her husband was a horse vet. Really really nice and then she was still beautiful...
This is a fantastic profile of Kim Novak. She is so sensitive and full of substance and so worthy of respect. She is in her late eighties now still creative and quiet and giving.
I feel that her true beauty lies within. She is a true woman of substance. I should have hung out at the pet store in the valley more often, just to have looked her way. Amazing
She had integrity, lifelong stayed true to herself and her talent. As a painter she was prolific, and her portrait drawings are of the calibre of Hans Holbein.
Wow, I'm blown away by her authenticity and sincerity. Probably one of very few actors who has always been in touch with their true self. I have an entirely different admiration for her after seeing this. She isn't just some kind of phony narcissistic attractive actor. So well-rounded , intelligent and so talented.
What a great series. Sophisticated writing and narration. I had forgotten how much screen writing has declined since then. One get's used to today's dull language use...
i lived in monterey carmel from 86 to 89 kim bought this house in 62 during filming of notorious landlady, she sold it in early 70s and moved inland married her vet in 76 they now no longer live there they are in southern oregon in eagle point. this house she called gull house is still there it was built by a san francisco architecht in the late 50s
This was amazing. I didn't expect to see such a personal glimpse into Ms. Novak's personal life. Thank you Ms Novak for sharing with us and thank you, the rest of you for making this documentary and Rod for posting it on youtube. Wonderful glimpse into a movie stars life!
Love her! always been my absolute favorite actress and person! so talented, empathic and layered..love her animals! and such a gorgeous seaside home...thank you for sharing your talent which has given so many of us joy and escape from difficult times...all my best always
I certainly couldn't have guessed from watching her flims, that Kim (Marilyn, but I guess that name was already taken) was a hippie! This was made 55 years ago! - and she'd already tired of Hollywood. Thoughtful and insightful, she was also wise. She could dance too - watch her with Frank Sinatra in 'Pal Joey', but ... she had no realy training for acting, singing and dancing as she didn't really know what she wanted to do?! Incredible. And boy could she paint! 4:59 : O For a time, she was surely the most beautiful woman in the world and yet such ordinary parents, she looks nothing like her mum. You have to believe that someone sprinkled something on her at birth and gave her gifts she initially struggled to deal with. Pyewacket (the Siamese cat in Bell, Book and Candle) was I think given to her at the end of filming, and lived with her here : )
Grew up with with a Mom that LOVED Kim, so I literally grew up loving her, Great actress that deserved much credit for her work especially in Of Human Bondage. Still BEAUTIFUL today, she's has a BEAUTIFUL SOUL, & I share her Love for Animals . GOD, I would LOVE TO MEET KIM. Still Living U, wish U ALL great vibes,health,joy. Peace&Love
My grandmother-in-law, mama Gene, used to write Kim Novak's mother all the time. Kim's mother always told Mama Jean how Kim was doing and what she was doing. Mama Gene has since passed on as has Kim's mother. I finally got to see a picture of her mom. May they both rest in peace.
When you have persona like Miss Kim Novak magic happens on and off camera. There is a vulernable quality that to this day seems unmatched. Yet she unmatched as a modern day witch capable of making illicit decisions for which she won my heart. Kim Novak creates magic in a graceful way Every time I have ever seen her. Her portrait artistry is a revelation and leads us to the inner sanctum of get soul. It seems Kim Novak is a rare genius on many levels.
With one of the most laid back, understated acting styles that intrigue and delight, coupled with her beauty Kim Novak makes for me a mesmerising performer. I just viewed for the first time her very first film, The Pushover (1950), and her movie persona was already on full display. She seems the opposite of say Bette Davis who had a high octane, in your face acting style. There is never any mystery there. You always know what's on Bette's mind but with Kim you can never be quite sure. I am so glad she was never seduced by Hollywood's fame and money but lives a full rounded life with many achievements and happiness. A rare outcome for an inhabitant of that town. She is up there with some of my other favorite actresses such as Audrey Hepburn, Lee Grant, Emily Blunt and Louise Brooks.
Everyone has always told me I looked like Kim Novak. I don't see the resemblance , but I do like her acting. Picnic is my favorite movie, and the dance scene is mesmerizing.
Miss Novak sent me an autographed photo when I was a junior in high school. I had sent her a birthday card. Years later when a girlfriend and I had read about her marriage to a veterinarian, we were able to get his office phone number and called on a Sunday afternoon. The call forwarded to their home and he answered. We asked to speak to Kim, but he said she was out riding her horse. He was very gracious.
Kim Novak came along in the right place..and at the right time in Hollywood...one of the best looking movie stars who has retained such over the years....when I was a kid l thought she was quite a dish.
My best movie with Kim Novak was of Human Bondage. I just loved that movie and her character Mildred. Secondly, I loved her in Pal Joey. Kim was such a beautiful woman and an extremely talented actress. What I liked most about her was that she was just so down to earth. She did not allow her head to swell with the trappings of Hollywood. Kim remained grounded,
Thank you for sharing Mr. Rod Willerton. Ms. Kim Novak was always one of my top favorite actresses. She was treated horribly at the Academy Awards several years ago. In her day she could run circles around today's actresses not only in beauty but in talent. My sister and I visited the church in San Francisco where she made the the movie, "Vertigo" along with another one of my favorite male actors, Mr. James Stewart. I enjoyed the biography so very much, Mr. Rod Willerton. Iris M. Cooper of Manassas, VA.
Kim went to the same H.S. as my mother---Farragut in Chicago, but mom was 5 years older. Kim was of Czech extraction like my mom. One of my all-time favorite scenes was her dancing with William Holden in "Picnic". He was also from Illinois. Rod Willerton: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!
I have never forgotten her performance in the movie Of Human Bondage. I couldn't have been more than 10 years old but my mother took me to see it in an drive-in movie theater. Her performance intrigued me and continues to do so to this day.
Rod Willerton rod im a 59 year old man who fell in love at age 8 in her last columbia movie the notorious landlady filmed not far from gull house her old home, thank you for this also i was at the butler art museum in youngstown ohio to see her art this year, what an artist she is thanks again for this special film clip
Gull House had some damage done to it during a storm several years ago, the girl who lived there at that time with her father is a photographer and actually posted pictures of the storm before making a run for it. Since then it has been resold and they are renovating and making part of it an art studio. My understanding is that when Kim bought it a storm had also damaged it before she bought it, the storm happened on her birthday, so she took it as a sign and bought it. That place has a power all its own, the rocks, the ocean, the energy vibrate through the house, as one person who took a tour when it sat empty once said of it. I know it's private property, it was when Kim lived there,....but it will always be the house of Kim Novak, no matter who lives there.
***** thank you teresa, i saw your reply on her website as well, i just saw it the other day, thank you for updating me on that house, i love that house, storms like that are rare but they do happen, i love kim because she is one of us, and down to earth, and separated her personal life from her stardom. she was in ohio in youngstown at the butler art museum last may 4th, im from ohio, i went to see her artwork, simply divine. i was honored to get a chance to live in monterey carmel for 3 years, thank you teresa, my fellow fan
yes, we like her for the same reasons. I think I must drive her nuts on Gull House, I am always talking about it, she said she would put up more pictures sometime. I also asked her if that bear in the living room was the same one they used in 'Boys NIght Oot' and although briefly, she did answer me by saying "Yes, same bear." Course I was just elated to get a response!
***** thank you for replying back, im a nut for gull house too. yes i saw that post about the bear rug in boys night out,teresa , i was 8 in 1962 when my mom took us to the movies and it was notorious landlady, i just loved the wheel chair chase scene, and the orchestra, that and moll flanders in 65, i was sold on kim. then i started seeing her movies from when i was born, i kept up ever since, im going back to monterey this summer again. i would love to buy a print from her and im saving for it. did you see the 1964 life magazine with gull house in it? it also had kim in the bathtub with suds and the pacific ocean in the background. i was disappointing that it was private keep out. when i went out last september. i wont talk your ear off you take care teresa,
I remember going to a book signing by Shirley Temple Black, was told I'd missed her by a few minutes. I thought I'd purchase the book anyway . In the next breath I heard "would you like me to sign that for you" . Apparently she asked her driver to wait while she came back and signed the book . I still have the book today, not for sale.
merci pour cette vidéo. Kim Novak la beauté. plus jamais il y aura sur 1 écran des actrics aussi sublimes et belles la réelle beauté la féminité l élégance la classe la perfection ansolue de TOUTES CES ACTRICES DE CES ÉPOQUE OU TOUT ÉTAIT BEAU ET RESPECTUEUX. merci 💞💝🌹💖🌟🌞💗🍀🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you I loved it. She always was my favorite Movie star she was beautiful and a good actress but they never gave her the credit for her acting till recently I always look at her movies I have most of them she was so gorgeous I'll never forget her even today she will always be my favorite and thank you for putting this on I put it in my favorite places
Not only beauty but kindness and great sensitivity. I fully understand her love of privacy. Great artistry I didn't know about! Will always hold Ms Novak with respect and appreciation for her work and for who she is.
Wow! This is a wonderful piece! I'm a bit late to this party, but I can echo everything all have said here. I fell in love with Kim in the 50's, and remain a great fan of hers today. I am a bit older than others here, will be 75 this month, so first saw Kim when she first began acting, and I've never looked back. I do keep tabs on her FB page, but don't usually comment. I am fortunate to have two of her prints, "Vertigo" and "Horse Heaven", both of which I love!! I will probably end up with more, as there are several others that keep calling to me....Lol! Rod, thanks so much for this.....what a treat for Kim's loyal fans who still wish she never gave up on Hollywood! Good thing for her, she did, however. Also, as a recluse of sorts, I certainly understand why she did.. It has been a difficult and sad loss, however, for those of use who still and will always love her!
I hadn't see this about Kim and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is rather dated but still is historical. Kim Novak is one of the best actors in history. Not only in Vertigo but Of Human Bondage, she was utterly captivating. She was the main character in Vertigo with dual roles. A weaker actress could not have carried it off, but she made it believable.
Awesome job kim, youre an amazing artist! And impressive that you found there is a world outside of the camera and popularity doesnt quantify who you are.
Kim Novak on her friends in Big Sur : " ...they love you for what you are, not who you are. " The comment by this beautiful and multifaceted woman is quite notable for it shows us what the the 19th Century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche really meant when he subtitled his iconoclastic autobiographical work Ecce Homo : How One Becomes What One Is. There is oftentimes a misunderstanding by scholars, critics and teachers as to why Nietzsche used the word ' what ' instead of ' who ' in the subtitle. Watch this short bio on Kim Novak and find out for yourself. An extraordinary woman, indeed.
Wonderful, honest portrait of a very special lady. Funny, she should have been cast in The Sandpiper rather than Elizabeth Taylor because Kim was actually living that bohemian life in Carmel!
She was suppose to be in that movie, she was the first choice but they couldn't come to an agreement about money or something, they should have paid her what she wanted she would have been so much better
brycat61 Kim didn't want to do it. Location was close to her home and she wanted that part of her life not intruded upon. It's why she moved there in the first place.
Saw her in PICNIC when I was just eight years old, and I was so moved by her character! Then I saw VERTIGO a few years later, and I believed her two personalities in that movie. She does have an effect on the screen, but as a child I saw it in a way I couldn't understand as an adult, until I could emotionally connect with my childhood.
I remember when this series was on television. I wish the Hollywood and the Stars episode focusing on Natalie Wood would be found somewhere. It first aired on my birthday, March 23, maybe in 1964. It included scenes from Sex and the Single Girl with Tony Curtis which she was filming at the time.
+Pine Meadows Hobby Farm kim is a gracious lady, and a genuine person, you have a good neigbor, kims art work was at the butler art museum a year ago in may, in youngstown ohio, im from akron so i drove the 45 minutes she was there for the opening of her art work and went around to all the tables thanking everyone for coming, what a talent, also i was stationed at fort ord california on the monterey bay from 86 to 89, kim and bob were still living in carmel, i truly love the monterey bay,
Pine Meadows Hobby Farm A Modern Homestead that's so nice! I live in Oregon as well and always want to go see her art gallery. Is she still holding the art show nowadays?
Thanks for the upload ! This is a series (Hollywood and the Stars) I was unfamiliar with and am glad to have found it. Like millions of other guys, I've had a crush on Kim from the get-go (shall we day when I was 8 or 10 years old -- now 66!). I was fortunate enough to be in Hollywood in 2012 at the TCM film festival when Kim had her hand and footprints enshrined at Grauman's Chinese Theater and later saw her interview with Robert Osborne. One class act ! I will ALWAYS love her !!
I am a teenager just graduated from high school in the Philippines when I see the film picnic in 1956. I'seen it several times. I am also a loner. I love the film one of my favorates. You are one o my favorite actress and Jennifer Jones. William Holden is also my favorite. It's good to know you are ok!
Jim Stark Vertigo wasn't a hit when it first released. It's grown in popularity over time. And this was a positive piece here, so of course no mention of any scandal. I think Kim was fortunate to be born with a mind of her own. It saved her from the downside of Hollywood and she's lived her "true self" kind of life. Monroe's death really scared her. She said that in an interview many years later. I'm sure it did make her question what she really wanted...Is "Jim Stark" your real name or are you a James Dean fan? lol.
She and her husband have long lived in southern Oregon, in the Sams Valley area, which isn't very far from where I live. She goes by the name Marilyn Malloy.
The last time I watched an episode of this show was when it was 1st broadcast. According to Wikipedia, this particular episode was broadcast March 9th 1964.
I loved going there. When I was younger and my friends came to town I would take them. This was late sixties and I remember their pink lemonade. I miss the peninsula and Big Sur, my favorite places on Earth.
It's not sad its unbelievable that a person or group of people or country goes to that extreme to control the lives of another human being and threaten peoples lives if they don't conform to their demands that they put fourth and telling free people what's acceptable and what's not, to take and have that much control over another human being is evil and diabolical but many things were and are done in this country that go unquestioned and unpunished or anything done about, people just went and go along, but its a new day and generation and many are revolting now which is or should of been expected to happen.
She stated in an interview she and sammy were just friends especially his family whom she visited despite hollywood big shots advising against being friends with black people at the time.
@@summertea545 perhaps she said it to downplay more controversy and go on with her life and make her living after all she knows certain people wouldn't like hearing the truth and she knows how this world is and how the system works so naturally she probably would deny it however that relationship and events surrounding it was common and world knowledge during that period, it was written about and Sam even acknowledged it in a past interview, ( buy his autobiography) also its normal she would deny it because really why was it so important for certain people to know in the first place? She didn't do anymore than Liberance or Rock Hudson or Marlon Brando Cary Grant Randolph Scott Loretta Young and many many more when it came to keeping their secrets in the closet, Hey its not just the Hollywood way many john Q publics have done the same thing and worse, get real😳 and really who cares does it offend you that Sam was her lover once upon a time?, oh well that's life.
a very underrated actress. as anybody repeated that dance in picnic no and they never will. the eddy duchin story she should have been nominated. guess she didn't kiss the academy's ass enough
Kim Novak not just a beautiful face, a beautiful mind and heart. Great interview!
I Met her in Kroger in Versailes Kentucky. My Mother was her vintage and said, that lady looks like Kim Novak, and it was her. She was very nice and easy. She was buying vegetables, told us her husband was a horse vet. Really really nice and then she was still beautiful...
This is a fantastic profile of Kim Novak. She is so sensitive and full of substance and so worthy of respect. She is in her late eighties now still creative and quiet and giving.
I feel that her true beauty lies within. She is a true woman of substance. I should have hung out at the pet store in the valley more often, just to have looked her way. Amazing
I must say the most amazing thing about her was she never tried to hard,and that she was not obsessed with the fame
From time to time, I recall her performance in "Picnic," one of my favorite films from that era.
An admirable woman of substance who chose to live life on her terms.
She is a classic beauty and an underrated actress.
Yeah a beauty
Wise too!
Εινναικουκλα
She had integrity, lifelong stayed true to herself and her talent. As a painter she was prolific, and her portrait drawings are of the calibre of Hans Holbein.
Still alive.
Wow, I'm blown away by her authenticity and sincerity. Probably one of very few actors who has always been in touch with their true self.

A real princess. I was introduced to her whilst traveling aboard "The 20th-Century Limited" in the mid-1950s. Ever so gracious.
KIM NOVAK SHE WAS A STAR IN HER DAY, AND ALSO IN OUR DAY..
i lived in monterey carmel from 86 to 89 kim bought this house in 62 during filming of notorious landlady, she sold it in early 70s and moved inland married her vet in 76 they now no longer live there they are in southern oregon in eagle point. this house she called gull house is still there it was built by a san francisco architecht in the late 50s

Originally telecast on March 9, 1964.
watch a great 1960's classic with her and kirk douglas "strangers when we meet 1960" lovely movie great colour and sound
if you like that movie watch the man in the gray flannel suit great movie too
We love Kim Novak! ..don't care about Kirk Douglas much...
Most beautiful Hollywood star you've never heard of...
I love the movie with KIM NOVAK, in the movie STRANGERS WHEN WE MET..1960..with KIRK DOUGLAS..I watch it a lot..
Excellent movie - on youtube.... with Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau
Awesome job kim, youre an amazing artist! And impressive that you found there is a world outside of the camera and popularity doesnt quantify who you are.
I love her. I remember Hollywood and The Stars when I was about fifteen. This is great. David Wolper was great.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Kim Novak is one of my all time favorites :-)
Kim Novak on her friends in Big Sur : " ...they love you for what you are, not who you are. " The comment by this beautiful and multifaceted woman is quite notable for it shows us what the the 19th Century philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche really meant when he subtitled his iconoclastic autobiographical work Ecce Homo : How One Becomes What One Is. There is oftentimes a misunderstanding by scholars, critics and teachers as to why Nietzsche used the word ' what ' instead of ' who ' in the subtitle. Watch this short bio on Kim Novak and find out for yourself. An extraordinary woman, indeed.
She's alive and well!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Listening...watching this in 2021...it’s utterly refreshing, insightful, and Kim Novak’s thoughts are ageless!
Thank you, Rod. This is fabulous !
She's gorgeous!
I have always been in love with Kim Novak - from the very first time I saw her on the screen!
Wonderful, honest portrait of a very special lady. Funny, she should have been cast in The Sandpiper rather than Elizabeth Taylor because Kim was actually living that bohemian life in Carmel!
She was suppose to be in that movie, she was the first choice but they couldn't come to an agreement about money or something, they should have paid her what she wanted she would have been so much better
I just had that thought! She would have been perfect!
brycat61 Kim didn't want to do it. Location was close to her home and she wanted that part of her life not intruded upon. It's why she moved there in the first place.
I just love her.
Saw her in PICNIC when I was just eight years old, and I was so moved by her character! Then I saw VERTIGO a few years later, and I believed her two personalities in that movie. She does have an effect on the screen, but as a child I saw it in a way I couldn't understand as an adult, until I could emotionally connect with my childhood.
loved Kim ever since Picnic.
I remember when this series was on television. I wish the Hollywood and the Stars episode focusing on Natalie Wood would be found somewhere. It first aired on my birthday, March 23, maybe in 1964. It included scenes from Sex and the Single Girl with Tony Curtis which she was filming at the time.
Incredible - thank you for sharing!
Naturally lovely!
Kim is my neighbor. She now resides in Eagle Point, Oregon in a home on the Rogue River.
+Pine Meadows Hobby Farm kim is a gracious lady, and a genuine person, you have a good neigbor, kims art work was at the butler art museum a year ago in may, in youngstown ohio, im from akron so i drove the 45 minutes she was there for the opening of her art work and went around to all the tables thanking everyone for coming, what a talent, also i was stationed at fort ord california on the monterey bay from 86 to 89, kim and bob were still living in carmel, i truly love the monterey bay,
Pine Meadows Hobby Farm A Modern Homestead that's so nice! I live in Oregon as well and always want to go see her art gallery. Is she still holding the art show nowadays?
I have not heard of any as I am an artist myself.
Say... What.... I'm in ptown!!! I'd love to meet her🤗 is she still alive?!
Pine Meadows Hobby Farm A Modern Homestead. Did she want ppl to know that, I wonder!!!
I had no idea she’s such a gifted painter. What an extraordinary person.
I lived in Big Sur 4 yr's off and on everything she says about it is true. She's the real deal all the way around.
Thanks for the upload ! This is a series (Hollywood and the Stars) I was unfamiliar with and am glad to have found it. Like millions of other guys, I've had a crush on Kim from the get-go (shall we day when I was 8 or 10 years old -- now 66!). I was fortunate enough to be in Hollywood in 2012 at the TCM film festival when Kim had her hand and footprints enshrined at Grauman's Chinese Theater and later saw her interview with Robert Osborne. One class act ! I will ALWAYS love her !!
Beautiful inside and out , Amazing lady
her pad is awesome and ditto on her love of solitude
I am a teenager just graduated from high school in the Philippines when I see the film picnic in 1956. I'seen it several times. I am also a loner. I love the film one of my favorates. You are one o my favorite actress and Jennifer Jones. William Holden is also my favorite. It's good to know you are ok!
I'VE ALWAYS LIKED KIM SINCE I WAS A YOUNG BOY VERY GOOD ACTRESS !!!!!
No mention of Hitchcock's "Vertigo", the role of her career.
@Jim Stark Then he married the Swedish actress May Britt.
Jim Stark Vertigo wasn't a hit when it first released. It's grown in popularity over time. And this was a positive piece here, so of course no mention of any scandal. I think Kim was fortunate to be born with a mind of her own. It saved her from the downside of Hollywood and she's lived her "true self" kind of life. Monroe's death really scared her. She said that in an interview many years later. I'm sure it did make her question what she really wanted...Is "Jim Stark" your real name or are you a James Dean fan? lol.
I dt think she had filmed vertigo yet
Yes she had filmed Vertigo by then...in the late 50's. This show ran in the 60's.
SEE MY COMMENT ABOVE !
She was a real beauty
She and her husband have long lived in southern Oregon, in the Sams Valley area, which isn't very far from where I live. She goes by the name Marilyn Malloy.
Hopefully people will leave her alone to enjoy her life and home.
My fave: Bell, book and Candle.
IN SECOND RANK ! OVERALL, HER DOUBLE ROLE IN VERTIGO ! AMAZING'! EVEN JIMMY (STEWART) WAS DUMBFOUNED !
Nicely done. I had no idea she was such a good artist. Thanks for uploading.
I love Kim Novak. One of the best actress of all times!
By watching this as of right now, i came to discover that she's just talented a painter or artist as the late great henry fonda was.
The last time I watched an episode of this show was when it was 1st broadcast.
According to Wikipedia, this particular episode was broadcast March 9th 1964.
a legend today from the glory days of the studio system.
She was a beautiful woman I always liked her a lot
God. If there’s one person I wish I could sound like, it’s her. Vertigo will always haunt me.
Beauty & talent galore. She has probably made a fortune off her paintings alone.
The intro music with that empty movie set makes me feel so sad
Hollywood cannot destroy a grounded person. A true artist that can not objectified by the movie system.
Her greatest role was in “the man with the golden arm”. She bought a certain dignity to a decidedly unglamorous role.
Matei saudades deste vídeo a última vez que o vi foi em 1964 na extinta TV Cultura .
She has the most beautiful bewitching look in Hollywood history , makes you fall in love.
I love seeing Kim dance Sirtaki at Nepenthe
!
I loved going there. When I was younger and my friends came to town I would take them. This was late sixties and I remember their pink lemonade. I miss the peninsula and Big Sur, my favorite places on Earth.
'Strangers When We Meet' 1960 with Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau is excellent. On youtube
You're right. Have just watched it on yt and it was fascinating. Like the original Madmen.
The architect and his blonde mistress - 1960 middle-class suburban adultery
@@bernardjharmsen304 I didn't find the adultery that fascinating, however the whole way the characters interacted and the feel of that time.
💔It’s sad that she & Sammy Davis Jr. fell in love but Hollywood studio bosses & the mob threatened them and broke them up 😢
It's not sad its unbelievable that a person or group of people or country goes to that extreme to control the lives of another human being and threaten peoples lives if they don't conform to their demands that they put fourth and telling free people what's acceptable and what's not, to take and have that much control over another human being is evil and diabolical but many things were and are done in this country that go unquestioned and unpunished or anything done about, people just went and go along, but its a new day and generation and many are revolting now which is or should of been expected to happen.
She stated in an interview she and sammy were just friends especially his family whom she visited despite hollywood big shots advising against being friends with black people at the time.
@@summertea545 perhaps she said it to downplay more controversy and go on with her life and make her living after all she knows certain people wouldn't like hearing the truth and she knows how this world is and how the system works so naturally she probably would deny it however that relationship and events surrounding it was common and world knowledge during that period, it was written about and Sam even acknowledged it in a past interview, ( buy his autobiography) also its normal she would deny it because really why was it so important for certain people to know in the first place? She didn't do anymore than Liberance or Rock Hudson or Marlon Brando Cary Grant Randolph Scott Loretta Young and many many more when it came to keeping their secrets in the closet, Hey its not just the Hollywood way many john Q publics have done the same thing and worse, get real😳 and really who cares does it offend you that Sam was her lover once upon a time?, oh well that's life.
@@michaelsinclair3321 No.... she answered the question and I believe her.
Between Joseph Cotton ‘s voice and the theme music, I have tears in my eyes and I don’t know why it’s affecting me this way.
Kim Novak- a real beauty!
Barbara Bryan Vh
a very underrated actress. as anybody repeated that dance in picnic no and they never will. the eddy duchin story she should have been nominated. guess she didn't kiss the academy's ass enough
KIM WAS TRULY THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. ONE IN A MILLION.
GREAT UPLOAD!.....Subscribed..
"Her face makes dialogue seem almost superfluous."
Truer words....
