Back in the 1️⃣9️⃣5️⃣0️⃣s all men had a crush on her whom you might remember from «Picnic», «Vertigo» and «Pal Joey»! 🎬📺 As a result of Hollywood pressures, she lost her sense of self and got dozens of plastic surgeries for the sake of eternal youth! 💉👩🔬 The actress who was the muse of even Alfred Hitchcock looks completely unrecognizable now whose recent photos I will share in this article! 👇
The significant contribution of this American star to the entertainment industry can hardly be overestimated. Novak is best-known as Madeleine Elster and Judy Barton in A. Hitchcock’s thriller «Vertigo». Her performance in «Picnic» and «Pal Joey» is nothing short of remarkable too. She shared the screens with other cinema giants solidifying herself as one of the most in-demand film stars.
Kim was constantly under the pressures and expectations of Hollywood. Trying to correspond to all the beauty standards and maintain her public image, she lost her own self and decided to seek a low-key and quiet lifestyle away from Hollywood’s glitz and glamour. She left Los Angeles and relocated to Carmel, California.
Novak started to take interest in painting and nature finding solace in exploring new surroundings. What concerns her personal life, she married Robert Malloy with whom she found strength and stability. Their 44-year marriage was interrupted by the man’s passing in 2020.
Sadly enough, she faced challenges being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 which she overcame due to her determination and strong will-power being a vivid example for millions of others.
