To have lived to be 87 years old and still creating art is a victory many people would enjoy achieving.
Her art is OK but we aren't talking Rembrandt here. But I do give her credit for trying & sticking to it.
If you can do better I will watch you on tv next week
So glad that Kim is living that idyllic life w/her husband and animals. Wonderful actress and human being.
lla788 Yep. We should all be so lucky - she’s living the life she wants, peaceful and quiet and utterly doing what she wants.
What makes you think she is living the good life. If she is like the rest of her Hollywood friends she is is not happy with her self. Searching for THE KING OF KINGS JESUS. PLASTIC SURGERY IS NOT THE ANSWER. SHE WAS GOOD LOOKING BEFORE SHE GOT BAD SURGERY
Jason Bacon we all need to live like that / in Harmony .
@@lindahamrick756 What an idiotically judgemental remark. You know everyone in Hollywood first hand and precicely how they feel about themselves? You're sure one to comment on the unhappiness and unattractiveness of others - the ugliness inside of you well exceeds that. Since you love to throw Jesus' name around, maybe you need to reread Luke 11:37-44.
♥️
It's so sad that Ms. Novak received such negativity after her recent Oscar appearance. We have very few movie Icons from the Golden Age amongst us and respect should have been paid.
I remember seeing that show and I didn't see anything wrong with her face. All those hollywood people had work done to their face. Shame on DJT, he probably gets botox.
It is a simple concept - aging changes looks
@@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453 I agree with you totally. It's true.
I agree. This is one reason why she left Hollywood. People can be so evil.
@@Chicago48 Why lie about it? I thought she looked bad too. I rather for someone to tell me the truth then lie about it!
One of the most beautiful actresses to ever grace a screen. I like the fact that she walked away from it all for a simpler life.
@ipmala You are right. I really wish she had let herself age naturally.
@Tropic Lightning So wonderful to hear someone speak to the beauty of the spirit. After all that's who the real person is. We just carry our spirits in these corruptible bodies until it's time to leave them back to the earth. God bless & love you Ms. Kim Novak!
She walked away because she was not getting role that suit her.
to each his or her own, I find her average and forgettable, bland like Hitchcock apparently liked. Typical blonde with plain face. I was curious as to what happened to make her swell up so much.
yes, but they sort of forced her hand, as she was not getting meaningful parts.
This Lady can be an inspiration to ALL who listen .... Bravo Kim !
Such a profound statement, "I hated my father. But I loved him more than I hated him". I think many of us can relate to this. I shed some tears myself when Kim made that statement.
Oh yeah ! I relate.
Same here
Wow that's freaking sad. I never hated my parents. I don't love my sisters bcz they have zero love in their hearts for me. I.don't love or hate them
shyman99 i totally understand this. My own father was a tough, harsh man.
Indeed
It's impossible to not like this woman. She's articulate, understanding, mature, appreciative and forgiving.
I'm happy she created a richer, healthier life for herself.
She's unpretentious and natural. I always have liked her.
Great person !!!
I knew Kim in Chicago. I am 86 years old and my maiden name was Donna Cortez and Kim was Mickey then.
We both modeled and attended Wright Junior College and were sorority sisters in ABM. She was,and still is,
absolutely stunningly beautiful!!!! I went on to become a stewardess and Kim went on to become a super star.
She looks very happy in her current role and is very talented. She was an animal lover way back then. I seem to
recall her carrying around her cat Pie (sp?) in the hat box all models carried then.
Thank you for sharing this it wonderfu to hear
Donna Bean I went to steinmets high. In the sixties always heard Kim went there and lived on Narragansett ave right in back of the school. As I did close by . Can you verify this ? Just curious. I also went to Wright jr. love ❤️
my mom went to HS with her.
I went to Wright in 1952 and 1953. Kim is 6 months older than me. I lived in Austin and attended Austin HS.
I don’t know what high school she went to. I was on the cover of Wright’s pamphlet, along with a young man,
during that time. If you went to Wright then you probably heard of the ABM sorority. Kim and I both modeled
for Patricia Stevens and Models Bureau. The last time I saw her was at The Chez Paree night club. She was
there with her Mom. That was over 60 years ago.
Steve Zak steinmets? I went there and that was the rumor .
I'm happy for her happiness.
Agreed. Glad that her vile experience at the Oscars didn't chase her away from the public- permanently. She was a different kind of gorgeous in her prime. Absolutely mesmerizing in Picnic and Vertigo. I marvel at her grace, spirit- and oneness with nature. Her artwork is also quite impressive.
I would love to see more of Kim Novak’s paintings. She is a lovely lady deserving of much respect.
She has a websight dedicated to her pantings that are for sale. www.kimnovak.com
Larry Sachs, Thanks! I found it and her work is wonderful. I paint, too. I don’t sell my paintings, though. She is an inspiration to me, at seventy. I wish I had her energy! Amazing lady!
@@lsachs07 Thank you very much.
Yes, she is. Yes, she is. : )
Thank you that is so cool of you
87, wow. As an animal rescuer who dreams of marrying a veterinarian, I’d say she’s living a wonderful life and has an amazing talent well beyond the superficialities of acting. Kudos!
My favorite movie of hers is Bell, Book and Candle.
They honor it in the tv series The Good Witch, where the name of her shop is the same.
Yes I live with animals also, spend 8-9k a year feeding wild animals at the edge of my woods - including MANY BLACK BEARS. It's wonderful.🦝🦝🦊🦊🐺🐺🐰🐰🦫🦫🐿🐿🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐾🐾🦨🦨🦨🐥🐤🦉🦅🕊🐸🐸🐢☘🍀🍁
Great actress, and a beautiful lady inside and out 🎉🎉👏🏻
The dance scene on the pier with William Holden is one of the BEST scenes ever filmed. WOW!! 😍
One of d most sexy dancing scenes ive ever seen.....😉
Oh how I loved that movie and that dance scene!
@@beatricejust7549 Me too! But one of the cast (Rosalind Russell) was extremely jealous of Kim and gave her a lot of "crap" during the filming of "Picnic"!
@@usmale4915 Are you talking about in real life during the filming? Because Rosalind Russell's character in the film was jealous of Novacks character.
Spartangirl 2020 That scene will always be burned in my mind! The best scene ever!
I love this woman- her performances were so raw. She is such a vibrant human being. Her emotions are always just bristling on her fingertips. Brilliant talent.
Ms Novak and Elizabeth Taylor had the best shade-throwing scene in the film “The Mirror Crack’d”. And that voice!!❤️❤️❤️
I don’t care how much work she’s had done, she looks phenomenal for 87.
She said she does not like what she had done to herself. That should be a warning to others about putting fat in your face.
@Mike Grayson or 30s
I agree
It is fake though....
Age gracefully and natural...
She's basically wearing a mask. An un-removeable mask. I feel sorry for her.
Mo Rocca is a fine interviewer. He has great sensitivity and it shows.
*He's acting...because that's what he's paid to do*
@@gerrynightingale9045 In doing his job, Rocca shows the insight and sensitivity required to do it well. Acting you say? Hardly.
@@4orrcountry *Believe anything it pleases you to believe*
*I call making a 'sad frown-face' on-cue ACTING, which is what he's PAID TO DO*
@@gerrynightingale9045 whatever it is, he's doing it right. Others cannot even act or simply don't care to.
@@freespirit9655 *And "Water is wet"*
Bell,Book n Candle,, One of my faves,, I loved so many of her movies
GOD Bless You Kim Novak❤️
Such an emotional and honest interview. She seems to have remained humble and unaffected by Fame. She is one of the few remaining from the Golden age of Hollywood.
The worst insults was done on "the veiw" the next morning following the Oscars. Those women were visious as usual. Glad that president apologised sort of. She did not deserve all the hatred. People are just haters of everything they dont particularly like.
The pit vipers on The View:(
@@cynthiaharrell2144 I hate that show. I think she is beautiful for 87 amazing. Trump should talk, plenty of bad plastic surgery, and hair weave in that family.
The dance scene between Kim and Bill Holden on the pier is one of the sexiest dance scenes in Cinema. Ever.
I agree 100%
The dance sequence on the pier with Bill Holden....sexiest dance scene in Cinema.Ever!!!
She was in ‘Bell, Book and Candle’, with Jack Lemmon and James Stewart! Fun movie 🍿 🎥
One of my favorites!!
She’s in an incredible shape for 87! I never would have thought she was that age, and it has nothing to do with the plastic surgery. Believe me there aren’t a lot of 87 year olds riding around on a horse. Good for her.
Well said, she looks in great shape.
very few people have as much an impact on their time as she did , and she was MARVELOUS !
SHE'S FANTASTIC !
she was talented and beautiful as she is today
I think she looks amazing for 80 plus! Way to go girl!
Absolute. Fantastic for 87.
It is fake though....
Age gracefully and natural...
@@tom11zz884 Stop judging her. She's an amazing woman, and looks just fine.
I love her....my favorite movies are Bell, Book and Candle and The Eddie Duchin Story. Blessings to her...one of the BEST!
Susan Bannister
I read that she adopted pyewaket.
I named my cat Pyewacket. Love Bell Book and Candle💕🌸
she's wonderful! and what a beautiful voice she stills has...
One of my favorite actress and after this interview one of my favorite human being 💓✨
Vertigo. Kim Novak. Say no more!! Hitchcock classic!!🎥
She really was stunning
tuneaddicted Colorado was
Beautiful inside & out!!
God has truly blessed her!
I,always,liked Kim Novak,and thought she was quite underrated as an actress.There was something about her,as a unique,interesting person,in the roles she played.I like the fact that she expresses her" humanness." I like that she respects animals and how they are so non-conditional with their acceptance of other living creatures on earth.So very,very good to see her,and I can Not believe she is 87 years of age!! BEST to you,Ms.Novak🙏🙌🌈😇💥🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🙏🙌🙌🙌🙏
I guess she was in the Somonauk ,Illinois library a few years ago in town visiting a relative. Someone on staff there realized who she was, asked for a picture, and she obliged graciously. Real class act I heard.
I love, love Kim and her co-stars in "Picnic"(1955). I love that small town feel of the movie. And she loves her animals and horseback rides. She loves the rural life. She's such an inspiration.
She epitomized the cliche drop dead gorgeous in her Hollywood days and is a beautiful person as well. Mo Rocca is a favorite of mine, I just wanna hug him.
She was a beautiful wonderful talented actress. I look past her attempts to look better. No need for vicious comments. Why hurt an 87 year old woman's feelings.
lukeloveslauraalways yes but people DO and a lot of Hollywood people were saying it too altho those hypocrites fix their faces. We ALL have to rise above other people’s unkindnesses and mistreatment. She has!! 👏👏👏
It's a shame that she felt the need to attempt to conform to the Hollywood expectations of eternal youth and beauty, but in the end, for whatever reasons, she chose to have the work done and she is paying the price for it. It is frankly painful to look at her frozen, expressionless face or to listen to her voice, restrained by the overwrought manipulation of her bloated cheeks and lips. I am not criticizing her nor do I "feel sorry" for her-I am in no position to judge her or pity her. No one is. But it is a sad story and I hope she is genuinely happy and at peace. None of us mere mortals have any idea how damaging and toxic it is to live in the glare of the celebrity spotlight.
She's 87, she looks wonderful. She should go back to modeling!
lukeloveslauraalways - don't you mean 'Why hurt an 87 year old man's feelings.' Wo nothing but Whoa Nellie!!!
She had a beautiful face & I'd love to see how she would've aged without treatments. That said, she looks better than she did at the Oscars & looks extremely good for her age.
We should all be doing so well at nearly 90yo!
Cool, cool woman. Admire her even more knowing she has the heart of a poet and artist. Shame on all of you who have come here to make cruel comments on her appearance. What do YOU see when you look in a mirror?
Right on Michael, thanks for saying that statement!
Michael Johnson Hi, i am ok with you about all those cruel comments. I am a painter my self and as i listen to her i see a beautiful and very sensible woman inside, so no matter her face, she’s staying beautiful 👍
@@christinebethencourt6197 beautifully said! ☺
Thank you for the open and semi open interview questions. Thank you for letting Ms. Novak talk and for listening to your subject. So few interviewers do, and she deserves to be heard. Amazing woman!
She's a beautiful beautiful lady inside and out then we all try to preserve our youth God bless you thank you for all your movies Kim Novak
I loved her in Bell 🔮 Book and 🕯 Candle . She had the most amazing look . And those eyebrows were snatched ! She looked fabulous !! ✨✨✨✨
Kim is a beautiful and sensitive woman of substance! I wish her all the best. I have loved her performances for decades. She deserves nothing but happiness and respect.
I love her in "Bell, Book and Candle", never tire of watching this movie, she was and still is gorgeous and, she is a very good painter.
Listening to her talk about her father is heartbreaking. I never believed that saying Time heals all wounds. It doesn't...
yes and no
I like "time wounds all heels"
I love her and her paintings are exquisite!
What a FABULOUS interview!❤️
I love the CBS Sunday profiles. It’s so wonderful to see stars from the earlier days. Keep up the fantastic interviews.
Jane Pauley does the show right!
That dance scene in Picnic is STILL the most sensuous I have ever seen. I could watch it over and over. She was and still is beautiful inside and Out. What a lucky women !
Thank you for the interview. The artwork is beautiful!
An amazing artist in every way.
Still beautiful at 86! Her paintings are amazing!
She was, in her day, among the most beautiful women in the world.
And even now she surely is among the most beautiful women in her age range!
Yes, I agree with you both, Kiko Man and Free Spirit. She is just so beautiful!
I'm so glad she lives in Oregon! We have the most beautiful land and views where I'm from.
The worst people tbough.
@@Covid--ts5cw Now Leroy, why do you that?
Leroy Bobby Not so... I live in southern West Virginia and my uncle lived with a girl from Oregon for years.. She was a wonderfully sweet girl, and her family in Oregon always welcomed my uncle with open arms.. For them to be from the northwest, they sure knew how to show southern hospitality.
@@Covid--ts5cw Now Leroy, why do you say that?
Oregon Living
She's still very very beautiful. When I was young and saw her in the movie Picnic I thought she was perfect for the part. Its one of the best movies of all time...well written and acted. Rosiland
Russell and Betty Field were excellent.
I love Kim Novak. She’s always been lovely. Vertigo is amazing. I wish her so much happiness.
Loved her in Vertigo. So beautiful.
What a beautiful lady. God bless you. What class something actresses of today need to learn.
Kim has always been one of my favorite actresses
I am from her generation and always loved her clothes and hairstyle, and now love her gravelly voice too. Lots of love to kim novak😎😎😎😎😎
I hope Kim Novak reads this...because I would like her to know she IS one of the most beautiful, classy, & talented people...She looks amazing!
She was a knock out in the sixties ,beautiful woman and great actress ,glad she is happy today !
How amazing you are Kim! I aways thought you were a wonderful actress and now I know you are a wonderful person too. Bravo!
Kim is the Joni Mitchell of Cinema. Her previous work and artistry speak volumes. So glad she got back to the garden.
Bell, Book and Candle was my favorite. The alluring witch calling for her cat-familiar...."Pywackitt!"
Philip Loverde
I once read that Kim adopted the cat
@@lindaterrell6104 I think that's great. She of course championed causes to prefer animal species and to help aid in the care of animals. Just like Doris Day.
So very encouraged with this story. She is my very favorite actress. Love her in Bell,Book and Candle with Jimmy Stewart. Her voice is so intriguing.and beautiful. So glad she is doing work that keeps her grounded and has found a balance in her life.
She is gorgeous! And also so brave! Good to hear from her! Love you Kim. I"ve always admired you!
What an incredible person she is. I had to watch it twice because I didn’t want to miss anything. She’s beautiful, talented and wonderfully emotional.
Kim Novak was and is always a favorite of mine, unique and lovely, talented, and empathic...a lover of animals. and such a talented artist, wishing her much joy for all the joy she's given to so many of us. she will always be beautiful inside and out bc her beauty radiates outward from her essence. Picnic, Bell Book and Candle, Vertigo, so many wonderful films
My wife works in the derm/plastic surgery industry in Los Angeles. She has seen all the big movie stars, and knows all the doctors who perform work. Not too long after that broadcast she met Ms. Novak at a function in LA, and said she looked absolutely fine, as you see in this video. So whatever that botch job was, she got it fixed right after that, or the swelling/fill went down. She said she was very nice.
She sure is a talented painter. I can't imagine not wanting to leave the Biz for a wilderness retreat.
If one finds "The Biz" unrewarding and/or unfulfilling, it's exactly what they want to do. I'm nowhere near anyone of Kim's magnitude but I did the same thing almost 14 years ago and haven't looked back once. Yes, it can be fun and exciting, but it requires all your time - you have to keep your skills honed constantly, watch your weight 24/7, and make a lot of sacrifices in general. Some people can't live without it and others can, and very contentedly. It looks like an unending party to the uninitiated, but it ain't.
She did things her way.
Kim Novak's performance in
"The Man with the Golden Arm"
Made me an instant Fan, She is the Perfect Example of A Great Artist and A Beautiful Soul
dave lynch Love that movie - painful to watch, but groundbreaking! (I’m a graphic designer, and the titles were done by Saul Bass, one of my heroes)
@@marubione i too Love that Movie, And Completely agree with your description of it,.. 10 years ago, talking about Classic movies with friends at a party, A Graphic Designer overheard me mention "The Man with the Golden Arm", which made that person sit up off the couch, Approach our little circle and engage in some Heatwarming Conversations, And Alot of Laughs mixed with Some Really Really Bad impression's Lol.. it was a Great Time, Thank you for reminding me of such a fond Memory 😆👍👍
She is Beautiful. Those who are cruel and mean shows who they really are. The cruel ones are ugly. She is still here. Im glad❤
I really enjoyed this interview.
Thank - you so much for this interview.....I absolutely adore Kim Novak......She is a beautiful woman still with such a genuine heart......One of my all time favorite actresses.....God Bless Her! What a talented painter just beautiful.......💜
Just stumbled upon this and am enamored by her radiant soul. God bless her for sharing her light and dark with the world
He painting are beautiful. What a beautiful woman and person. I think she is multi talented. She also writes poetry, paints beautifully and she was a fine actress before she retired.
Great answer to the final question of the interview.
So glad to be updated of where's she's at in life.
Kim Novak,a truely beautiful and talented star both inside and out!
3:25 🥺 my heart breaks seeing her fall apart like that. Trauma can last so long, it still haunts her to this day. That's the difficulty of us as people, we're so complicated, parents who should protect their kids can sometimes do more harm than good. Very relatable for so many people in the world.
Nurture your children!
Im Happy she left phoney Hollywood behind and found her true self... Continued blessings Ms Novak!🤗
Her voice of today is so different - but enthralling - at 87.
Love her brilliant colors in her paintings.
Love her complete honesty. It is one of the qualities that makes her films so captivating.
I think "Vertigo" was Hitchcock's masterpiece. Kim Novak absolutely made that character indelible and unforgettable. An absolute must-see film. Brilliant camera work, acting and script!
What an incredible artist. Very talented. Thank you for the movie, Vertigo. Great movie. You are good to animals.
I adore her! She is a wonderful actress and her paintings are beautiful! I'm envious of her talent in that she can express her feelings -- good and bad -- through her art and work out her feelings and frustrations that way. She's still a gracious lady.
A beautiful soul. I wish her continued freedom from all those who simply do not get it. I adore her in all of her movies. It was beyond her true physical beauty, it was a wonderment to watch her act. The pain her father created was harsh but it is with grace that she has lifted herself above his cruelness. He is gone, she remains as a survivor. She beat it back. Good for her.
What a wonderful artist Miss Novak is. Beautiful stunning work.
Her movie Strangers when we Meet, it's so good! You can watch it here on youtube. She had lavender hair in 1960.
Bell, Book and Candle was one of my favorite KN pictures.
Kim Novak is great! I love her movies and her paintings.
No mention of her relationship with Sammy Davis Jr.
And why should there be?
Amazing amazing interview and THIS lady looks amazing no matter what ❤❤❤
Surgery notwithstanding, she looks incredible for 87. She doesn't look anywhere near her age, and more important than looks, she's a genuine human being. A living legend as well.
she is still wonderful. incredible interview thanks kim and cbs.
I was just thinking about her. Especially that scene in the movie Verdigo where her character would visit The San Francisco museum of fine Art. Brilliant interview CBS This Morning 🌳
Her Picnic dance is truly sexy. My favorite of her movies.
Her perfomance in Vertigo is timeless and unique
Legend
Beautiful woman, then and now. She made a good call to pursue her painting and love of animals and leave the vacuousness of Hollywood. Her classic performances will be exciting movie watchers far into the future.
