Kim Novak named SF Cinematic Icon

From the San Francisco Chronicle:



Kim Novak, the blond actress best known for her roles in the 1950s, including her sultry performance in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, will receive the San Francisco Cinematic Icon Award from Standing Ovations on June 14.

The gala event, whose theme this year is "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of: San Francisco and the Movies," will be held at the Old Mint in San Francisco.

"San Francisco has always been my favorite city of all time," Novak said. "I was privileged to feel a part of this magical place in two films - 'Pal Joey' with Frank Sinatra and 'Vertigo.'

"It will be like coming home again."

Standing Ovations is a benefit for the San Francisco Museum and Historical Society. Get more information about the gala at (415) 710-7332 or plumtree@comcast.net.
