This is one interview that will stand the test of time. Kim Novak, wow what and incredible, transparent, soul. She gave us her all, as an actress, and just being herself. She is the real deal. Love and respect, one of the best interviews I've ever see.
Kim Novak is amazing... btw no one leaves hollywood -- it does not center around Los Angeles only as they claim. It's innate and part of the person once they join the network -- "the business"
What a lovely, heartfelt interview. Kudos to Robert Osborne for making Ms. Novak comfortable enough to really open up and let her emotions flow. Kudos to Ms. Novak, for having the guts to allow her emotions to come forth. A lovely interview.
This is phenomenal! For a guest (Kim Novak) to break down and express the fact that she felt as if she had failed in her final film. I've never seen such a natural response from the person being interviewed. Kudos! ❤️❤️
She said Hollywood was not for her, she was different breed, humble just wanted to do good work. They kept her busy really busy and then she left and may have had a little doubt but was looking for a more satisfying life. A class act. By the Wy what she said about Jimmy Steward who was a Christian was a general consensus; he was one of the good ones.
This is a person who rolled with the punches with class yet genuinely. Life did not make her bitter. She has aged so graciously yet remained beautiful inside and out. Bravo Kim
This whole show was just such class, Osborne is an impeccable interviewer, and Kim Novak was a fabulous interview. What’s happened to us today, we just don’t behave the same way anymore.
I think it has to do having and showing tact, timing and sticking to topics of interest or potential interest and not staying in any one part of a topic for too long as the interviewer and letting the interviewee float in the answers a little.
@@lamarravery4094 ~ I haven't seen a great deal of her and have never seen Picnic. Just looked it up~ Nominated for 6 Academy Awards, won 2. Impressive. Thanks for that, I'm going to watch it tonight.
I happened on to this interview and was so drawn into the life and emotions of this wonderfully vulnerable and talented woman. I both smiled and cried appropriately throughout her lovely saga and feel so inspired by her sensitivity and authenticity. Robert Osborn is so natural and nurturing of Miss Novak that I felt as if they were sitting in my Living Room the audience included.This was a lovely respite during a stressful Covid season.
Well said. She knew it was the right time for her to leave & forge a new path. Ava Gardner felt as she did but stayed for the paycheck despite she loathed show business & said it's a job that pays the bills. Bette Davis was the same but also craved the fame.
I love Robert Osborne's interviews. He knew how to ask the right questions and bring out the best in his subjects. I remember Kim Novak. It's good to see her back. The years have treated her well.
Robert asked a question then allowed the person to answer. Most interviewers compete with their subject so nothing much gets accomplished. Robert was wonderful and is greatly missed.
@@carolynkingsley4421 Stay away from Peter Robinson. The biggest egoist narrator ever! Pseudo intellectual who badly believes listeners are interested in HIS views instead of the person he is interviewing. Use to narrate Victor David Hanson - a breath of fresh air conservative. Thnk he narrates the black salt of the sane - Sowell also. If you trip across Robinson, write a scathing review! Maybe they will get rid of him!!
At 17yr old I saw Vertigo. I thought I was watching a goddess come to earth. I dreamed of Kim for years. Certainly my heart and mind looked at the person playing the movie role, not the role itself. Her sincerity, positive decent objectives, and projecting a true understanding of what love truly is have always been Kim Novak. This interview makes me happy to see her so happy. Kim is still more beautiful than any other woman. Beauty from within nurtures outward beauty.
What an incredibly inspirational interview done by Robert Osborne who had the sensitivity to let Kim Novak be herself. It is never too late to start again. Kim get that award. You deserve it..
Kim Novak lived just a couple blocks from my home in Chicago. I remember her house because the walkway from her front door had a half circle where it met the sidewalk and we would trace it with our steps whenever we walked by. One day while walking by we saw her come out the front door and the media was there taking pictures. I was about 5 years old but I remember how beautiful she looked and how excited my older sister and I were to see her. She was smiling and seemed so nice, I’ll never forget it.
What a fabulous woman Kim Novak is so real so raw, I love what she said about self expression and how that helps with your mental health. Robert Osborne is such a fabulous interviewer he allows the guests to complete their thoughts without interupting. Great lady ❤️ rest in peace Robert you are sorely sorely missed!
I agree great interview! She's truly an icon & we're fortunate to enjoy her time as she lived it in the Golden Era of Hollywood. Every movie star that worked with Jimmy Stewart said he was a gem.
I fell in love with her in Picnic, Bell book and candle too. Siamese cats, I've had one my entire life since 1956. She is deep, has Soul, loves animals, they teach use how to live and what LOVE is. God speed to her.
Just watched this interview and I have tears in my eyes two lovely people having a great chat wath a lovely man Robert is I have never seen him before and it's sad he has passed a real gentleman and Kim wonderful actor will have to watch all her films again and she spoke about her painting my late wonderful Mum love painting also and was very good at it thanks for this lovely time with two nice people Marie Dublin Ireland
I used to watch the old movies back to back to back when I was a kid. I think it's why I am a true romantic! I also suffer from depression and mental disorders
In Barbara Edens biography she said when she first went to 'Hollywood' she moved into that same Studio Club housing & she met Kim ( she was moving out) Barbara said she was stunned at Kim's natural beauty, thought she was the most beautiful woman she has ever seen. And as we can see and hear in this interview beauty on the inside too. I love how generous she is to all her co stars, Not all of them have been as kind to her.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Kim Novak still has the looks and class. God bless this beautiful person.Hollywood will never see the likes of Kim Novak.NEVER!!
Thanx to Robert Osborne for ellicting Kim Novak from one of the best interviews ever! Kim Novak truly gives us a window into her soul. Her courage, love, honesty and humanity shines through brighter than a Klieg light. Not even a hint of resting on her laurels which she very well could do. Kudos, Kim Novak for, although short, a career that's iconic and relevant all these years later. You are a true legend.
Kim Novak. What words can I even say? Stunning, sincere, talented, and you can tell she was always her own person because her attitude did not change in any movie she was in. Now that is an actor. I put Jimmy Stewart in that same category. Top of the line...both of them. I love you Kim Novak and thank you for blessing us with your talent and those movies. I am glad you are more comfortable now but the world would not be the same without getting to know you...the person you are. Thanks for the interview.
Humble, honest, integrity and beautiful not only in appearance but as a person. There are very few actors like that and only a small percentage of people in the rest of the world.
I STILL miss him! Robert Osborne is a VERY SPECIAL person!!! That incredibly humble human has a bright, spirit that shines through ALL, the cameras, the people, all. That's another reason his interviews are absolutely glowing.
What a heartful person Kim Novak is. I played her role of Bell, Book & Candle in community theatre in Ottawa, Illinois getting to step into her essence briefly. She is magical!
cindy pattana, Yes, I watch it maybe twice a year-one of the best films ever made. They certainly don’t make them like that anymore. I can easily recall quotes from certain scenes.
Always a favorite actress and person. Went to all of her films. Wish my husband could have seen this interview; he loved her too. She’s a spectacular artist as well. She made smart choices for her life. Wish her every happiness.
Kim Novak is such a lovely, sensitive, intelligent and reflective woman. Such a pleasure to see this interview. I would love to see an exhibit of her art! The few piece that were shown are breathtaking.
I’m so thrilled I came across this remarkable interview. Thank you Kim Novak for being so candid. It was extremely validating. She’s a very special person. And Robert Osborne, as always, is divine. I might suggest he brought out this candid side of Miss Novak. Kudos for her conversing about mental illness. It’s the 21st century and people need to address it openly. She’s so intelligent about it
So very very happy to see this interview of Ms.Novak,and Mr.Osborne.It is so refreshing and energizing to see someone like Ms.Novak,and the honest sincere human being she IS! Thank you for sharing and showing this!!
I believe this interview was done in 2013 she would have been 80 at the time. She looked AMAZING and was in full control of her faculties!! Adorable and intelligent all these years later still has that magic about her. Delightful interview. Her innocence came through on film and she was right up there with Marilyn Monroe but seemed to have a wider scope. When she got to the part explaining her inner soul and how she pours it out in her artwork it reduced me to tears. I totally get it. My heart aches for her carrying such heartbreak regarding unresolved issues with her director. In life, we all experience that and whether it defines us or the direction we decide to take because of it... is part of our personal journey and makes us the person we are. Kim you are so loved by millions but I understand the pain of wanting the one person that meant the world to you, not be able to tell you they loved you. You will hear the words one day in heaven.
Are yu kidding, she was80? I know she had a face lift or 2 , yu can see it on the sides of her mouth, but not so bad. Obviously still had good hair. Amazing!!!!!
Why shouldn't she be in control of her faculties? Just because she's 80?? People need to stop expecting for someone to be a certain way just because of their age! You can be just at 80 as you were at 20. Or even more so. We need to stop expecting an older person to be a certain way.
The place she went to when saying her father only said he loved her when he was dying, was just heartbreaking. You could see it in her gaze...it so moved me.
Man, what an interview. I always got the feeling when watching her films that she was pretty complex. Think that's why I liked them. But she could have ended up a real tragedy. Thanks TCM.
Wow, Kim Novak's crying while expressing her art made me so emotional. She might have not been in many motion pictures, but no other living actress can claim the ultimate honor of playing the lead in the movie widely regarded as the greatest movie of all time! Vertigo is my all time favourite movie, with her sublime acting Kim Novak totally transformed Vertigo into what it is - a masterpiece & she will always be a legend.
I always loved Kim Novak. When I left school with the necessary qualifications I found that to be a vet I had to move countries across the sea. At 17 I was not mature enough to do that. I changed tact reluctantly but to this day even in old age I adore animals. Had every pet imaginable but now down to just feeding the wild birds in my garden. That is my joy. Kim is a special , wonderful person with no ego. I still love her. She still looks so beautiful.
I was 10 years old when I watched the Picnic with my mother. I saw her amazing talent. She was real and raw. Now I know she was not acting. She is real. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
WoW beautiful and strong ! Wise and humble! So glad Kim knows where she will be on the next stage! Wise decision to get out of Hollywood! Well done ✨✨💜
I cry as I watch an incredible lady have the guts to share opening the fragility I struggle with daily and putting it so creatively into words in front of other people.
I loved this interview so much. Robert Osborne such a caring and intuitive interviewer and Kim so open, honest and emotional with everything she had to say. I would love to see all her art work she is such a great talent and more importantly such a lovely person.
Marvelous! Seeing Kim Novak again! Her whole persona speaks, wonderful acting ability! She was and remains very beautiful today! A most impressive interview, and I so thank you for sharing!
A wonderful conversation that filled in a lot of gaps...like why she left movies when she did. Her great recall of a marvelous era in movie making, and her honest assessment of who she was and how it all happened revealed the fine person she is....that is, sensational in every way. Thank you both for chatting like old friends.
I love Kim. I’m quite sure, there will never have a personal woman of unique caracter like her. She made a choice and still carries firmed. God Bless Her.❤️
Wow, I love this woman!!! I've been on a Kim Novak kick. Her movies, bio, clips trying to understand her. Seeing her so open and passionate makes me wish everybody could be this way. Thank you, Kim!!
This gentleman is a fabulous interviewer. He allows the guest time to reflect. Creates a meaty share. Additionally he doesn't interject with insignificant rambling. Well done!!
My favorite Kim Novak movie is "Bell, Book & Candle". I light hearted, funny, love story. So glad to hear her story in this interview. And Robert Osborne is an exquisite interviewer.
She was always my favorite actress. She could be so real and yet so beautiful. Beyond your dreams and yet vulnerable. In Vertigo she was mesmerizing. The whole movie seemed like a dream.
After seeing this interview I realized what a genuine natural person this is. No conceit or malice. She was really endearing!! A beauty inside and out!! That says it all. Love her more now than ever
I truly enjoyed this presentation with Kim Novak. Such a multi-talented woman. I only remember the movie Vertigo which I loved. Didn't realize she made as many movies as she did but I am amazed at her portraiture work. Each person she did she made look as if they might be right there with you. Truly gifted. I am so glad that she has led such a wonderful life since leaving Hollywood. She truly knows herself well and picked a man that appreciates her complexity and shares her love for animals and nature.
@@gardensofthegods He went once, as a vet, to take care of one of Kim's horses while she was still in California, and the rest is history ! They must have been married for some 30 to 40 years !(in Oregon !)
Loved this interview - shows her self as her true self. She spoke her truth - that is beautiful! Shows how important parent's love is in children's lives - at any age. Also shows some trauma she may have endured during her early years...incredible!
A lot of refracted light through that lens of celebrity. So much respect for her intelligence, integrity and strength to reveal some of what she endured and achieved. Her husband is a most fortunate man to have a partner with a great love of animals and a lifestyle, where they can be their true selves. The interview chronicled her Hollywood years visually with some great memories and recollections. Osborne elicited some courageous and private revelations from her, which may raise awareness and understanding. Well done!
Wow, Kim's paintings are excellent. I have really enjoyed her films as well over the years. Bell Book and Candle is my favourite, she was certainly the shining star in that one. Great interview. Thanks.
Ms. Novak, I saw you in "Jeanne Eagles" & thought you deserved an Academy Award! I don't know your Film history awards so I don't know if you ever got one but I hope so.
Vertigo and Once Upon a Time in the West, my two very favorites. Both have female leads that did not fit into the classic "good girl" role, both had male leads that went against type. And, both dealt with obsessions, one sexual, the other greed.
Kim Novak broke my heart. Not many people have ever effected me as much as she. I think she is an amazing women who finally found the ability to accept herself as being real and true to herself. I adore women that share the many parts of their life with great truth. I am one of those women.
What a wonderful interview with one of my favorite actresses, Kim Novak. I am forever grateful to her because when I was 14 years old, she sent me a picture of her with her signature. She sent it to my country, Venezuela, and I still have that photo with me. Now, I live in Florida, USA, and I am enjoying this interview . God bless you Kim . I love you!♥️🙏👍👏🤗
This is one interview that will stand the test of time. Kim Novak, wow what and incredible, transparent, soul. She gave us her all, as an actress, and just being herself. She is the real deal. Love and respect, one of the best interviews I've ever see.
So true.
Not sure if it's the TCM Film Festival or the TCM cruise but Ms. Novak will be there. So wonderful of her to still share herself with her fans.
Kim Novak is amazing... btw no one leaves hollywood -- it does not center around Los Angeles only as they claim. It's innate and part of the person once they join the network -- "the business"
What a wonderful person Kim is. No wonder the camera loved her so.
What a lovely, heartfelt interview. Kudos to Robert Osborne for making Ms. Novak comfortable enough to really open up and let her emotions flow. Kudos to Ms. Novak, for having the guts to allow her emotions to come forth. A lovely interview.
WHO doesn’t love this wonderful artist - now we know why she is so successful in her endeavours - depth of character - pure artistry 👌🏼👏
This is phenomenal! For a guest (Kim Novak) to break down and express the fact that she felt as if she had failed in her final film. I've never seen such a natural response from the person being interviewed. Kudos! ❤️❤️

Made me cry, too! And I noticed several people in the audience were also moved by her revelation.
This is a person who rolled with the punches with class yet genuinely. Life did not make her bitter. She has aged so graciously yet remained beautiful inside and out. Bravo Kim
Well said Rose
I agree with you BUT she ruined her beautiful face with plastic surgery !!
Breaks my heart to see !!!!
@@carriedillmann4455 True! i would rather see wrinkles than the plastic cartoon face.
She apparently went to a discount surgeon unfortunately
I didn't understand the bit she said about someone wanting to take Sammy D Jr's eye out. Do you or anyone on here know the back story of that.
This whole show was just such class, Osborne is an impeccable interviewer, and Kim Novak was a fabulous interview. What’s happened to us today, we just don’t behave the same way anymore.
I do and my son's do
They just don’t do interviews anymore. Everything now is a panel of people over talking and interrupting each other.
Quality presentation. Thank you
I think it has to do having and showing tact, timing and sticking to topics of interest or potential interest and not staying in any one part of a topic for too long as the interviewer and letting the interviewee float in the answers a little.
HONESTLY,THE OLDER MOVIE 'S ARE BETTER TODAY AND IT'S BECAUSE OF THE DEDECATION OF THE BEST MOVIE ACTORS WITH STYLE AND PRIDE IN THEIR SELF.
She was absolutely mesmerizing in Vertigo. What a deep, beautiful person she is revealed to be in this interview. Now I want to see all of her movies!
Me too!!!🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🌏

What a lovely woman. She wasn’t cut out for the Hollywood scene, you can tell. But thankfully she gave her gift to us❤

Such an excellent interview by one of the best in Robert Osborne, and his most genuine guest, Kim Novak
Hi
This is a great interview. Kim Novak is fantastic; my favorite film of hers is Bell, Book, Candle. I had no idea she is such a talented painter.
Love that also, oe of mine was The Eddy Duchin Story
@@barblucchesi9527 She dies too early in that movie !
@Fanfanbalibar oh I know that was sad, but Marjorie Duchin died at I believe 33 years old from something relating to childbirth
At 17yr old I saw Vertigo. I thought I was watching a goddess come to earth.
I dreamed of Kim for years. Certainly my heart and mind looked at the person playing the movie role, not the role itself.
Her sincerity, positive decent objectives, and projecting a true understanding of what love truly is have always been Kim Novak.
This interview makes me happy to see her so happy.
Kim is still more beautiful than any other woman.
Beauty from within nurtures outward beauty.

Beautiful, beautiful interview. Thank you Kim Nomak! thank you Mr. Osborne!
My favorite movie of Kim Novak's will always be Bell, Book, and Candle with Jimmy Stewart. I love that she's found contentment.
They were also paired in Rear Window, another classic.

Wow, Kim Novak's crying while expressing her art made me so emotional. She might have not been in many motion pictures, but no other living actress can claim the ultimate honor of playing the lead in the movie widely regarded as the greatest movie of all time! Vertigo is my all time favourite movie, with her sublime acting Kim Novak totally transformed Vertigo into what it is - a masterpiece & she will always be a legend.
❤❤❤
Never knew she was such a talented artist. Her online paintings and sketches are fantastic.
I always loved Kim Novak. When I left school with the necessary qualifications I found that to be a vet I had to move countries across the sea. At 17 I was not mature enough to do that. I changed tact reluctantly but to this day even in old age I adore animals. Had every pet imaginable but now down to just feeding the wild birds in my garden. That is my joy. Kim is a special , wonderful person with no ego. I still love her. She still looks so beautiful.
BESIDES, SHE MARRIED A VET, BOB MALLOY, ,WHO PASSED AWAY SOME 3 YEARS AGO NOW !
Kim Novak is such a beautiful lady inside and out. This was such a wonderful interview!
An unspeakably precious woman / artist I’ve loved all my life. Thank you for posting! ❤️
I was 10 years old when I watched the Picnic with my mother. I saw her amazing talent. She was real and raw. Now I know she was not acting. She is real. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
Kim Novak, what an incredible, genuine, soulful human being.
That was absolutely wonderful, what a Charming Woman, Truly Lovely !
God Bless Kim !

WoW beautiful and strong ! Wise and humble! So glad Kim knows where she will be on the next stage! Wise decision to get out of Hollywood! Well done ✨✨💜
I cry as I watch an incredible lady have the guts to share opening the fragility I struggle with daily and putting it so creatively into words in front of other people.
This afternoon, in coronavirus isolation in Canada, in tears, will remain memorable.
Thank you to the interviewer, thank you Kim Novak.
Great post by you. Kim and Robert. Two giants. Great interview
I loved this interview so much. Robert Osborne such a caring and intuitive interviewer and Kim so open, honest and emotional with everything she had to say. I would love to see all her art work she is such a great talent and more importantly such a lovely person.
Hi Gia
Enchanting, highly intelligent, talented. And yes a great beauty still. Thanks Ms.Novak. 🇯🇲.
Marvelous! Seeing Kim Novak again! Her whole persona speaks, wonderful acting ability! She was and remains very beautiful today! A most impressive interview, and I so thank you for sharing!
Hi Bonnie
The Old Stars were so much better, She's a legend. And she doesn't whine and complain like the Stars nowadays.
Yes, and don't push their socialist values on everyone like they do today
A wonderful conversation that filled in a lot of gaps...like why she left movies when she did. Her great recall of a marvelous era in movie making, and her honest assessment of who she was and how it all happened revealed the fine person she is....that is, sensational in every way. Thank you both for chatting like old friends.
True. And and those days they had class. Nowadays…… I mean - look at the celebrities today. Christ, what disasters. Give me the fifties anytime.
Sensible woman. Chose a natural life to an artificial one. Artistic too. 🌸💖
@@valeriebellomo3573 pfffft! Just don't listen to movie stars...or reality show people either. Make up your own mind based on YOUR life...YOUR values.
An honest to goodness interview of a famous human being with her struggles and triumphs. Her warts and all. A lovely conversation.
She is the goddess of all film goddesses and to hear her intelligence and see her grace at her age I worship her/ Vertigo still blows me away
I love Kim. I’m quite sure, there will never have a personal woman of unique caracter like her. She made a choice and still carries firmed. God Bless Her.❤️
Wow, I love this woman!!! I've been on a Kim Novak kick. Her movies, bio, clips trying to understand her. Seeing her so open and passionate makes me wish everybody could be this way. Thank you, Kim!!
This gentleman is a fabulous interviewer. He allows the guest time to reflect. Creates a meaty share. Additionally he doesn't interject with insignificant rambling. Well done!!
My favorite Kim Novak movie is "Bell, Book & Candle". I light hearted, funny, love story. So glad to hear her story in this interview. And Robert Osborne is an exquisite interviewer.
I'm pleased that someone I always liked is actually the person I hoped she was.
Good for her! She evidently has that Contentment we all seek.
Loved it x
Me too!
I agree. She sounds intelligent and kind as well as a beauty that was always so unique to watch. She made those film's for me!!
is, not was. Shes very much alive.
What a PHENOMENAL interview. She so beautiful inside and out.
She was always my favorite actress. She could be so real and yet so beautiful. Beyond your dreams and yet vulnerable. In Vertigo she was mesmerizing. The whole movie seemed like a dream.
LOVE Kim Novak. Her intelligence, honesty and vulnerability always come across on-screen and off.
Kim is an example of the class and refinement that was once Hollywood !!!!❤️
Have a great birthday Ms Novak 🌹 and thanks for all of your great movies✨
After seeing this interview I realized what a genuine natural person this is. No conceit or malice. She was really endearing!! A beauty inside and out!! That says it all. Love her more now than ever
I truly enjoyed this presentation with Kim Novak. Such a multi-talented woman. I only remember the movie Vertigo which I loved. Didn't realize she made as many movies as she did but I am amazed at her portraiture work. Each person she did she made look as if they might be right there with you. Truly gifted. I am so glad that she has led such a wonderful life since leaving Hollywood. She truly knows herself well and picked a man that appreciates her complexity and shares her love for animals and nature.
I would have loved to have heard more about how she met her husband
@@gardensofthegods He went once, as a vet, to take care of one of Kim's horses while she was still in California, and the rest is history ! They must have been married for some 30 to 40 years !(in Oregon !)
Loved this interview - shows her self as her true self. She spoke her truth - that is beautiful! Shows how important parent's love is in children's lives - at any age. Also shows some trauma she may have endured during her early years...incredible!
"Bell, Book & Candle" was always one of my very favorite films that was originally a stage play. Such a clever, fun movie!
Wow! ❤❤thats reality! She’s so tender!!
She is so natural and poised. Amazing. A real star, even if she gave it up. One of the all-time greats.
A lot of refracted light through that lens of celebrity. So much respect for her intelligence, integrity and strength to reveal some of what she endured and achieved. Her husband is a most fortunate man to have a partner with a great love of animals and a lifestyle, where they can be their true selves. The interview chronicled her Hollywood years visually with some great memories and recollections. Osborne elicited some courageous and private revelations from her, which may raise awareness and understanding. Well done!
I am 80 now. I missed you when you "disappeared". I was a teenager then.
Thank you for being able to see you again!
Wow, Kim's paintings are excellent. I have really enjoyed her films as well over the years. Bell Book and Candle is my favourite, she was certainly the shining star in that one. Great interview. Thanks.
What a lovely lady, and what a talented artist on screen and canvas. So natural, wonderful to listen to we love you X
Ms. Novak, I saw you in "Jeanne Eagles" & thought you deserved an Academy Award!
I don't know your Film history awards so I don't know if you ever got one but I hope so.
I had a boy hood crush on Kim Novak. I named my first daughter “Kim” as a result. She looks so classy.
Kim Novak shouldve won Best Actress for Vertigo. That movie and performance are both iconic, truly.
One of the greatest films ever made and a true masterpiece.
Well said. She was terrific in Vertigo. She certainly deserved an Oscar.
Yes she should; unfortunately the attitude to the film back then was mixed.
I would have nominated her for "Jeanne Eagels".
Vertigo and Once Upon a Time in the West, my two very favorites. Both have female leads that did not fit into the classic "good girl" role, both had male leads that went against type. And, both dealt with obsessions, one sexual, the other greed.
she looks great.
Kim Novak broke my heart. Not many people have ever effected me as much as she. I think she is an amazing women who finally found the ability to accept herself as being real and true to herself. I adore women that share the many parts of their life with great truth. I am one of those women.
Me also,Aussie Sheela!
agree
WOW ! Talk about the 'Me-Too movement !
E. What awpmfet a wonderful day
Me also
Amazing interview. So appreciate her work. Beautiful lady inside and out
What a wonderful interview with one of my favorite actresses, Kim Novak. I am forever grateful to her because when I was 14 years old, she sent me a picture of her with her signature. She sent it to my country, Venezuela, and I still have that photo with me. Now, I live in Florida, USA, and I am enjoying this interview . God bless you Kim . I love you!♥️🙏👍👏🤗
