Today is the birthday of one of the most beautiful women on the planet, the famous blonde of Hitchcock, the glamorous diva and the icon of the 1950s – Kim Novak. According to the magazine “Empire” (1995), Kim took 92nd place in the list of 100 sexiest stars in history in the movie. However, she attracts not only with her appearance, but also talents and charisma, which Kim Novak certainly possesses. In addition, as I always say, talented people are talented in everything. In addition to her film career, the actress is a photographer, poet and visual artist creating impressionistic and surrealistic painting in watercolor, oil and pastel.
Although she has played in more than forty films, however, became and remains famous for her role in the thriller “Vertigo” (1958) by Hitchcock. Interestingly, dresses that Sharon Stone wears in the cult film “Basic Instinct” (1992), were copied from Kim Novak’s dresses in “The Vertigo” (1958). In 1997, the Nova Berlin International Film Festival she received an honorable statuette of the Golden Bear, and in 2002, at the Oscars, Kim was awarded the Achievement of a Lifetime Award. Kim Novak is also the owner of a personal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Born Marilyn Pauline Novak 13 February 1933 into a family of Czech immigrants, she first appeared in the movie in an episodic role in 1954. Soon, agents of Columbia Pictures noticed the beautiful model, and Novak signed a six-month contract with this studio. However, producers changed her name to Kim, so that there was no confusion with Marilyn Monroe. Novak resisted for a long time, but she could not do anything about it. Also, according to the contract, she had to lose weight and take acting courses in order to replace already retired Rita Hayworth.

Unfortunately, since the early 1960s, Kim’s career began to decline. And the last time on the big screen, Kim Novak appeared in 1991 in the movie “Libester”, but the audience never saw her in the film, because after her conflict with the director, he removed the footage with her.

Kim’s first husband was an English actor Richard Johnson (1965-1966). And in 1976, she married a present husband – veterinarian, Dr. Robert Malloy.
