Marilyn Pauline "Kim" Novak (Chicago, February 13, 1933) is a retired American film and television actress, currently engaged as a visual artist.
She began her film career in 1954 after signing with Columbia Pictures. There, she became a successful actress, starring in a string of movies, among them the critically acclaimed Picnic (1955). She later starred in such popular successes as The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) and Pal Joey (1957). However, she is perhaps best known today for her performance as Madeline Elster/Judy Barton in Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Vertigo (1958) with James Stewart. Novak enjoyed box office popularity and starred opposite several top leading men of the era, including Fred MacMurray, William Holden, Frank Sinatra, Tyrone Power, Kirk Douglas, and Laurence Harvey.
Although still young, Novak withdrew from acting in 1966 at the peak
of her career and has only sporadically worked in films since. She
appeared in The Mirror Crack'd (1980), and had a regular role on the prime time series Falcon Crest (1986–87). After a disappointing experience during the filming of Liebestraum
(1991), she permanently retired from acting, stating she had no desire
to return. Her contributions to world cinema have been honored with two Golden Globe Awards, an Honorary Golden Bear Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame among others.
