Sydney Sweeney just came off a biopic about Christy Martin in which she went from Size 23 to Size 27 jeans in order to pull off looking like the real-life boxer. It was quite the transformation, and she seemed to enjoy the process. So, it’s not a huge surprise she has another biopic coming up again. This time, however, the woman she’s set to portray doesn’t think she has the right body to pull off the role.
Kim Novak, the 93-year-old actress known for roles in Vertigo and Kiss Me, Stupid, came to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, landing awards nods early for Phffft in 1954. In the ‘60s she took a step back and largely retired from acting, but a new movie will look into her then-taboo relationship with Sammy Davis Jr. in 1957, a relationship that ended when Novak says the studio threatened Davis Jr. until he agreed to back off her and marry a Black woman.
