Trivia

Raises horses and llamas in Oregon and California

Went on a personal strike in 1957 protesting her current salary of $1,250 per week.

Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#92). [1995]

On July 24 2000, she watched her memento-filled house in Eagle Point, Oregon, go up in flames. A deputy fire marshal said that the blaze was probably the result of a tree that fell across an electrical power line. Included in the loss were scripts to some of her movies (
Vertigo and
Picnic), as well as her computer, which contained her long-gestating autobiography. Spared, however, were her menagerie of animals, including horses and llamas, as well as the star's husband of 24 years, veterinarian Bob Malloy.

For a scene in
Picnic in which she had to cry, she asked director
Joshua Logan to pinch her black and blue off screen, telling him, "I can only cry when I'm hurt."

Measurements: 37-23-37 (Source: Celebrity Sleuth magazine)

Turned down the female lead in both
Breakfast at Tiffany's and
The Hustler.

As a starlet with Columbia Pictures, she resisted pressure to change her name to Kit Marlowe. Years later, the name was used for the character she played on the television series Falcon Crest. (She did agree to change her first name from Marilyn to Kim, as the public associated her given name with
Marilyn Monroe.)

In
Popular, the main girl's bathroom in the high school is called "The Novak" which holds all the pictures of the homecoming queens. The name is inspired by when movie stars would donate money to schools (often an alma mater). The writers found out that Kim Novak donated money to a school in the Santa Monica area (where the school/show is set), so they named this room after her.

Is portrayed by
Terri Lynn in
Rita Hayworth: The Love Goddess

Is, to the day, one year older than
George Segal.

She arrived in Hollywood as The Lavendar Girl
