Kim Novak is 93 now, long removed from the Hollywood machinery that once tried to shape her life. Yet the past has a way of resurfacing, and this time it arrives in the form of a biopic she says she never wanted.
The screen legend has sharply criticised the decision to cast Sydney Sweeney as her in 'Scandalous,' a film centred on Novak's relationship with Sammy Davis Jr. Her objection is not subtle. It is pointed, personal, and rooted in her belief that her story risks being misunderstood all over again.
