What I like most about Kim Novak is not just her astonishing beauty — that alone would get her onto this back porch of mine — but also the fact that she was a wonderful actress, right out of the gate of her first movie. Award followed award, but because she was also determined not to be screwed by Hollywood, she often fought with the studios who wanted to underpay her and / or play the stereotypical part of The Cute Little Blonde (which she utterly refused to allow). And she mostly won.
All that, and a brilliant actress as well? Have mercy.
I’ll show Miss Novak in glorious color at some later date…
Larry tells Maggie, “You’re not so pretty.”, in “Strangers When We Meet” (1960).
Kirk is an architect and Kim is a bored housewife.
A suburban architect loves his wife but is bored with his marriage and with his work, so he takes up with the neglected, married beauty who lives down the street.

Go to bed with Madeleine and wake up with Judy. 🙂
In a world infested by commie idiots trying to burn down Western Civilization, it is a relief to open your blog on Sunday morning to read your take on one or another of the world’s beautiful women.
What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!

Sadly her mind was destroyed by Hollywood. She got on the cosmetic surgery train. And now in her old age she looks like a gargoyle.
Amen to that Professor, A-freakin’-men.
Come to think of it, I think a gargoyle would be an improvement.
I will hold you to that promise, Kim.
