Celebrities Who Have Aged Poorly
Kim Novak – 88 Years Old – Retired But Still Makes Appearances
While on a modeling tour for a refrigerator company in 1953, Kim Novak and a few friends decided to audition as movie extras during a stop in Chicago. During the audition, she was picked up by an agent and signed to a long term deal with Columbia Pictures.
The studio hoped that Novak would give them what Marilyn Monroe gave 20th Century Fox. What she gave them was a starring performance in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and several blockbuster performances alongside leading men such as Frank Sinatra and Kirk Douglas. Novak was honored with two Golden Globe Awards and a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. She retired in 1966.
