TCM to honor Novak at Classic Film Festival

Kim Novak circa 1958

Kim Novak will be feted at next month's TCM Classic Film Festival when the actress will join Hollywood stars in concrete at the famed Graumann's Chinese Theater before a screening of Vertigo. Novak will introduce the film. More on the festival and its full schedule here.

For a fascinating interview with Novak about the upcoming TCM Fest and her recent comments on Best Picture winner The Artist's use of the love theme from Vertigo.

"It was very painful," said Novak. "When I said it was like a rape, that was how it felt to me. I had experienced in my youth being raped, and so I identified with a real act that had been done to me. I didn't use that word lightly. I had been raped as a child. It was a rape I never told about, so when I experienced this one, I felt the need to express it."

You will find the rest of the interview from yesterday's York Daily Record out of York, PA here.
