Vertigo star Kim Novak is 'concerned' about biopic starring Sydney Sweeney depicting her affair with Sammy Davis Jr. | AI News Digest
Kim Novak, the iconic star of 'Vertigo', has expressed her concerns regarding the upcoming biopic 'Scandalous', which will depict her romance with Sammy Davis Jr. in the 1950s. At 92, Novak fears that the film may oversimplify their relationship, reducing it to mere sexual intrigue rather than the deep connection they shared. She emphasized that their bond was rooted in mutual understanding and acceptance, rather than scandal. The film, starring Sydney Sweeney as Novak, is directed by Colman Domingo and aims to explore the complexities of their interracial relationship during a time of significant societal opposition. Novak is also set to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Venice International Film Festival, coinciding with the premiere of a documentary about her life.
