[QUOTE="Brian Kinney, post: 274757, member: 3219"] Kim Novak's performance in Agatha Christie's [I]The Mirror Crack'd[/I] is pure camp fun. She shares most of her scenes with Elizabeth Taylor and Tony Curtis. While Taylor is too dramatic Novak finds the right tone for their scenes. It's a mediocre film but I watch it when a rerun is on TV mostly for her supporting role in it. I also thought she was perfect in [I]The Legend of Lylah Clare[/I] which is an underrated film, a commercial but not artistic failure. [I]Vertigo[/I] is a masterpiece and her subdued acting perfect for the pace of the movie. Kim Novak was my all-time favourite guest-star on [I]Falcon Crest[/I]. While it was nice to see her acting near the Golden Gate Bridge as in [I]Vertigo[/I] I thought she was especially good in her scenes with John Saxon. Last year her husband died after being married for 44 years. I don't think psychological problems stand in a way to act. She wasn't a danger to others and she had no reputation for being difficult. And her problems weren't even known back then. But it was probably better for her to find a life outside of Hollywood's business. This year 'the Guardian' interviewed her, showing a bit of her art too.
