“I think it will be helpful to people because I know the expectations that are put on you as a sex symbol, and how Marilyn Monroe suffered and so on, and I was able to get free of that.” -Kim Novak… watch my Rita Hayworth video next “Rita Hayworth HORRIFIC tragedy.. lN€EST, surgeries, powerful men & worse..” kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3ScfJuLhthmm80

Rita Hayworth❤ She's one of my favorite actresses. I look forward to seeing your next video. 🎉Happy New Year 🎉

[@jannepetersen4660]

They were all beautiful and talented, but they were captured by the fame, the passion around them, and the endless possibilities, money always can provide. They lost the real meaning of love on their path to fame, and for some went from decent to bad behavior. It became a world, full of lust and ignorance bad choises and unhealthy lifestyle. For some their beauty was their most deadly enemy, and marriage became a train where one could jump on and of after what attracted the most. Very few managed to walk the fame without chaos and bad choises, and one of those was Kim Novak, she simply left the jungle who otherwise would have swallowed her alive. Eleanor Parker also was able to avoid the scandals and the bad rumers, she died very old surrounded by her love ones, many remember her from 'The sound of music' where she played the part as comtess and lover to the captain, she was very beautiful also. But Hollywood really has what it takes to live the unreal life, and through times, human misery and chaos brought nothing but ruined marriage's unhappy kids, murder, suicide and all kinds of passions in the most destructive way's. Do correct me, if I am wrong, but remember to add why you might think that I am wrong.

I am in my 60’s. When I was young, I idolized Kim Novak. Not just because of her beauty, but because she was mesmerizing on the screen. Thanks for this honest and accurate portrayal.

You're definitely right👍🏽! Karine has been doing a great job by making accurate and honest videos about icons as much as possible ... I really appreciate 😊🥰🌞

[@juanitamorgan5475]

I just googled her online and found out that she's actually 90 years old now and a beautiful stunner still she's a naturally beautiful woman why the hell would they want her to lose weight and dye her hair?! I honestly hate the entertainment industry the way they tried to change people to make them into something they want you to be and not who you are

[@jannepetersen4660]

@@juanitamorgan5475 Hollywood had a passion for blond actors, because they related it to sex appeal and hot look's. and most of those who dyed their hair was actually the upperset in colour. Lana Turner was among the real beauties of that time, and of course M. M., mansfield, Diana Doors and Nicole Schmidt, Grace kelly and many many more less famous. The golden age also used these blond kittens, but today these look's are long forgotten, because colour is not important, skills and abilities are, and who know's who. What really hit's me about Hollywood today is, that surgery are more important than breakfirst, and I wonder again and again how fan's can almost faint when they se their favored stars on the red carpet, still looking like 25 years old, well that I find strange, because they all more or less live under the knife, because being old, is a death sentence in Hollywood. If you know about a famous person in that world who simply let go of age, I would really like to hear from you......

[@sampa2nyc]

Kim Novak's stardom is interesting because she rose to stardom during the last heyday of the studio system yet she managed to stand apart from the other "Hollywood Blondes", who seemed like attempts by the studios to replicate the success of Marilyn Monroe. Kim had her own appeal that still holds up to this day.

[@Fanfanbalibar]

and se was right : Monroe killed herself atg 36, while Kim still lives in Oregon and is 91, surrounded by all the animals and friends she love,s only disturbed by the death if her veterinarian husband Bob Malloy.....

[@kennethrussell1158]

One of my favorite movies.

[@thelonewolf2288]

Hollywood, is a horrible and disgusting place. I spent decades in Film, TV and the Music Industry with most of the major studios as well as being raised as a child within the inner-Hollywood film and TV community beginning in the 1960’s. I was raised around many of the biggest stars, producers, directors and actors. My parents were in Hollywood publicity so, I met many of the biggest stars. I would overhear them talking at parties. They largely lived in fear. No one ever really seemed happy. The music Industry was just as bad or even worse. I always sensed a deep profound evil around all of it. My life in Hollywood would make a great movie, and people have suggested I write about it or make a screenplay. But much of it is too dark, and I really don’t like to think about it. I saw terrible things that were truly Satanic and super natural. I saw many people simply vanish into a Satanic Hollywood underground and were never seen again. Mostly beautiful women. There is so much I could say here but, suffice to say … Hollywood is pure evil. Watch the movie ' EYES WIDE SHUT '. It was based on a real life event that Stanley Kubrick attended. That movie IS Hollywood.

[@shon0032]

Wow, I believe every word! I didn’t realize how evil Hollywood was until I was an adult. Thank you for sharing. If you wrote a book about your experiences, I would read it! 👍🏽

[@pujabelgian]

Evilwood California.. in an interviw his daughter thought his death suspicious.. the powers that be advised him to drop the film.

[@thelonewolf2288]

@@pujabelgian Yes, I saw that interview. There is that suspicious 23 minutes of missing footage also that the studio clipped out from the film prior to release that we will never know about, and what it may have exposed. Hollywood was never about 'entertainment', but mind-control of humanity. All of the original creators of Hollywood were Marxist Bolshevik Communists from the lower East Side of Manhattan. Nothing has changed. The truth hopefully will come out one day.

Kim Novak to me, had the best figure ever in Hollywood she is breathtaking. When I had my KZbin Channel, she was the actress I most wanted to feature. Thanks, so much for this. She was a standard of beauty no other from her era could match. So sorry what happened to her relationship with Sammy Davis Jr., thanks, Karine! Excellent report.

[@milanahoward4736]

Always thought she was under rated as a talented and beautiful actress. Vertigo and Bell, Book and Candle are favorites. Her portrayals come across as a natural ability to showcase feminine mystique. Thanks for giving her a video!

[@Faith-su4is]

I have never heard of her until this video was released. I can totally understand her pain since I also struggle with mental illness. I would have dealt with mental illness anyways because I have autism, but the bullying and sexual harassment I faced during my middle and high school years made it even worse. I left public high school after my freshman year because I feared for my safety. At least there are more treatments for mental illness out there. I believe the toxicity of Hollywood also had a hand in her mental health issues.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

Vertigo is my favourite film (a love i passed on to my kids as well), and my 5 yr old daughter was utterly captivated by Kim Novak's glamour and grace. I did not know she was an artist as well, but she always had that bright, sharp quality about her that she'd be excellent at anything she attempted... she could adjust/shift her dynamic or character in a fraction of a second with such precision. I'm convinced that it's thru role models like this that my daughter went into both acting AND fashion/design as an adult... which makes me feel like i did something right as a parent. I can still see her tiny self reciting those Madeleine lines from the pre-tower scene with that intense emotional pacing and dreamy wistful glances. :) You are loved for literal GENERATIONS, Ms. Novak.
