KIM NOVAK

Kim Novak was an actress known for her impressive acting performances and surreal beauty. Her most notable acting credit came when she played Madeleine Elster in the all-time classic 1958 film Vertigo, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. After decades in the industry, Kim decided to leave Hollywood in exchange for a more normal life away from the camera. Her name only returned to the spotlight when her husband of 44 years, Robert Malloy, passed.

She fully retired from acting in 1991 and decided to focus more on herself. After her tremendous peak in Vertigo, she made a short break and weirdly made several horse breeding investments. It was also through this interest of hers that led her to Robert Malloy. The two got happily married in 1976 and kept low-profile life in Oregon. The actress is now 88 years old and is still keeping her distance from Tinseltown.
