- Kim Novak is a famous actress
- She starred in the film 'Vertigo'
- She just celebrated her 91st birthday
Kim Novak (91, Actress-turned-Artist) is having a blast on her 91st birthday, and she's doing it her way – surrounded by friends, fudge, and the freedom she fought for! The 'Vertigo' vixen, who gave Hollywood the slip over 50 years ago, is living it up on the Oregon coast, with nothing but her horses for company and her art for expression.
From Silver Screen to Canvas Dreams
Novak's tale is one of courage and conviction. Tired of the Tinseltown treadmill, she packed her life into a van and headed for a horizon where she could be her true self. "It was a survival issue," she confesses. Hollywood's golden girl was done being just another pretty face. She wanted more, and she got it!
Kim didn't just play roles; she lived them. From battling studio chiefs to protecting her Eastern European heritage, she stood her ground like a true bohemian warrior. She even took on love on her terms, dating Sammy Davis Jr. against the studio's wishes. Talk about a rebel with a cause!
Life After Limelight: Horses, Art, and Real Love
Novak's passion for painting and animals took center stage once the Hollywood lights dimmed. Her teachers? Horses and llamas! And love wasn't scripted either. She found her "soul mate" in Robert Malloy (late equine veterinarian), proving that life can be sweeter after the final cut.

A Legacy Beyond the Lens
At 91, Novak's spirit is as vibrant as ever. She's not counting the years; she's making the years count, riding horses, and staying healthy. With her bipolar disorder in check, she finds solace in her art, the best medicine of all.
Novak's art is a reflection of her life – mysterious, deep, and entirely her own. She's the director of her canvas, influenced by Hitchcock but dictated by no one. Her message? She was never just a movie star; she's an artist, and that's how she wants to be remembered.
Reflecting on her journey, Novak is grateful for the path she chose, one that led to freedom rather than a tell-all bookshelf. Her art and life are the truest expressions of who she is, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
