Something wrong?She was Columbia's answer to Monroe in the mid-fifties - then Hitchcock cast her in Vertigo and locked her into film history. The performance that seemed like just another studio assignment became the center of what critics now call one of the greatest movies ever made.

, You know, I wasn't gonna wait around.
It was a tool for me. I could express what I was feeling, whether it's good feelings or bad feelings. In that case it was bad feelings.
I live way out in the country, so there's not a lot of people around to remind me. And my friends don't think of me as `Kim Novak' anymore anyway. It's like they forgot, too.

Spouse: Richard JohnsonAbout this person
Born Marilyn Pauline Novak on February 13, 1933, she signed with Columbia Pictures in 1954 and shot to the top of the box office within a year, anchoring Picnic and The Man with the Golden Arm in 1955. Pal Joey followed in 1957, then Hitchcock's Vertigo in 1958 - a thriller that would grow in stature for decades. She worked steadily through the early sixties in Bell, Book and Candle, Strangers When We Meet, and Kiss Me, Stupid, but by 1965 she'd mostly stepped away, turning to painting and showing her work in major galleries. She surfaced occasionally - The Mirror Crack'd in 1980, a stint on Falcon Crest from 1986 to 1987 - but a rough shoot on Liebestraum in 1991 ended it for good. Two Golden Globes, an Honorary Golden Bear, a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, and a star on the Walk of Fame mark the career she left behind.
