I didn't think it was possible to think more highly of Ms. Novak. A person of real class.

Kim is real, and honest, and human. I love Kim, her films, and her incredible art work. She is a wonderful example of humility and my admiration of her has only increased.

What a legend. Never be ashamed Kim you are a legend on and off screen.

What a wonderful interview. Kim Is so sweet and her AUDIENCE LOVES her!

I love Bell Book and Candle :) And I REALLY LOVE Kim Novak!!!

OMG KIM NOVAK IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT. SHE LOOKS FANTASTIC FOR A WOMAN OF HER AGE. SHE IS SO SINCERE AND LOVING AND CARING. I LOVE AND ADORE PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT ANIMALS AND LOVE ANIMALS THE WAY KIM DOES. THAT'S THE WAY GOD MEANT US TO BE. LOVING JUST LIKE KIM NOVAK. KIM IS TRULY AN ANGEL HERE ON EARTH. KIM IS HERE ON THIS PLANET TO SET AN EXAMPLES OF HOW PEOPLE SHOULD BE--- LOVING NOT HATING.

Go Kim Novak bravo to you for taking a stand against bullying and you're still amazing

Kim you are a wonderful person with a great love of animals many of us love you and wish you well. just ignore the insane they are lost,

Kim has a good heart. May she have her humor as her shield and her wit as her sword.

Kim legendary artistry & honesty rivals awards.

I want to hug her for being so real and open. It's one of my favorite movies as well, even more than Vertigo, although I can't deny it's a good movie and I love Hitchcock but Bell Book and Candle has a sentimental value for me. She's so perfect in that role, with her soft coldness hiding a warm heart.

She is amazing

Bravo Kim Novak!!! Thank you for addressing it and standing up to those bullies!!!!!

Good for her!

Wonderful actress, super person.

Dont mess with anyone who starred in the greatest film of all time - Vertigo. Seriously.. She is Madeleine and Judy. The ultimate Hitch blonde. Woman deserves some mjr respect.

Still a very classy woman! I love you Kim! Stay strong!

Beyond her looks (and, at 80 something, whatever procedures she may have had done look a helluva lot better than many younger actors who have gone under the scalpel) and any "loopiness" she may have displayed because of the reason she explains here, the Academy's treatment of Kim Novak on that telecast was shameful. She should have been given a grand entrance and build up, with, at the very least, a few seconds' worth of footage from Picnic, Vertigo, BB&C, etc., to introduce her. It was painfully clear that many of the upstarts in the audience had no idea who she was, when she should have been given a standing ovation (instead, they stood for every single crappy nominated song).

I wholeheartedly agree. Kim Novak's body of work includes some of the most iconic films of the 50s, including Hitchcock's Vertigo [ just voted number one in the Sight And Sound film critic's poll as best film above Welles' Citizen Kane ]; Logan's Picnic; Chayefsky's Middle Of The Night and Pal Joey with Sinatra and Hayworth. The Academy is now dismissive of the actors and actresses who were the foundation of the Industry, i.e. Bacall, whose career achievement Oscar was awarded in a separate ceremony before her death; Eli Wallach, who received the same award in a pre-Oscar ceremony, et al. When Olivier, O'Toole, Redford, Loren, Stewart, Grant, and Marx received their career Oscars, it was the highlight of the presentations.

I agree, Novak was in some famous or iconic films, but respectfully disagree that those films became iconic due to her being in them. Vertigo would've been so much better with almost any other actress in the role…but I'm sure we'll have to agree to disagree on that.

DDumbrille Yes, we sure will have to do that. Cannot imagine anyone else in that difficult role. She was supposed to play 'out of this world a little', no one did that better than her. Who would you think could have played that role? Just curious.

DDumbrille So do you think Bell Book and Candle would have been better with someone else?

***** "Who do you think could have played that role?" That's funny. Really. As I said, almost anyone could've done it better than Novak, although I must admit she wasn't too bad in Bell, Book and Candle.

She looked horrible at The Oscars, but beautiful now.

The press and the public were unkind about Novak's appearance. Yet I do wish she could quietly go somewhere and get some corrective plastic surgery. That face is not her own.. not any more she still sounds like the same sweet woman inside

But it looks much better than it did a month or so earlier at the Awards. No doubt she had some minor procedure(s) in between the Oscars and this interview...

they really wrecked her face with a very bad facelift!!!

I saw this in person and got to chat with Kim briefly. It's so great to her fight back because I was afraid, she might retreat. Great going, Miss N!!! It's great that you spoke up for people who may be afraid to address it.

Bravo Kim Novak!!! Thank you for addressing it and standing up to those bullies!!!!!

i just love her ''and her great moves ''

Kim - we love you - past, present and future!!

I LOVE HER!!!💖💚💛💜💙🍸👏

I am so proud of her for her honesty. Yes, her appearance was so different than I remembered her, but I was more thrown by her seemingly being "out of it." And she explained that--and is totally different and endearing in this video. We all learned valuable lessons from this lady; and even she learned a lesson, too! I hope she gets another shot at showing them how impressive she is!

Bravo for speaking up! You have been my idol for years! So good to see you once again and looking so beautiful!

the people that are bullying you apparently don't know a Class Act, a Rare Gem , A True Beauty of Hollywood~ You were there since 1954~ they all owe you a great debt ~ You are a Legend, an Icon ~ half of the people today can't and won't ever hold a candle to you and that's why they are threatened and have to bullying you because they are not and will never be half the STAR ~ that you will always be~ I for one thought you looked absolutely fabulous and stunning as always~ Thanks to my grandparents and having me watch Falcon Crest with them every Friday Evening ~ I will always be a fan of yours as will many~ and we will always out weigh the bullies every time~ the true fans, the true friends of yours~ love and hugs always to you~ for all that you have done for so many~

Glad to hear your words in public like this so that you can heal yourself, Ms. Novak. What a courageous soul you are. Love with blessings to you.

Sweet and sincere lady. We LOVE you just the way you are!

i think kim novak is a beautiful women and a real lady.

i stand with kim novak my favorite movie star classy lady and is a talented painter. .and quite down to earth of a person,

If I am not mistaken, the past Oscars ceremony was the first Oscars she attended in 24 years, and I am sure she felt very pressured, but even so, I am glad she spoke out, and hopefully if she appears again at the Oscars, she can be real as she is here.

What a lovely lady.

Good for you!

I applaud Kim for turning this situation around like this and calling these smack'd azzzholes out in the name of humor. It hasn't changed since we where all kids growing up in school, if you want the bullying to stop, you need to stand up to the biggest bully and call him out. Not with guns either kids...but with words and wit.

I'm so mad and angry that people would bully this legendary icon Hollywood gem, she was part of the most glamorous time in Hollywood, The golden era of Hollywood. This women is a Hollywood national treasure. Those people who bullied her are despicable people. They are anonymous, keyboard gangtas that very insecure and hide behide there phones, that are not happy themselves so they project that towards others...they are basically busted, basic looking folks who are insecure trolls. The anonymous pussies are the most unattractive and hideous people. Kim Novak is a legend and I love her she is a great actress and great lady and still beautiful to me damn it.

WOW .

Geezzz She is 81 years old. I don't think everyone intends to be Rude it's just a Shock to see her so different. Love her movies especially Vertigo, always thought she was a True Beauty in her Youth. as we all were once ...lol...right?

Several actresses younger than Kim Novak, look like crap and she is doing her best to look great and some JERKS criticized her?... what's wrong with their brain, LEAVE KIM NOVAK ALONE , SHE DESERVE SOME RESPECT

I still believe you are grand...end of story!!!

I hope she is invited back next year . Attacking an elderly woman with such venom isn't right .

STILL GOT IT...QUALITY "X"....JACK R. ENGLISH...WEST HOLLYWOOD....10/5/2014...

She certainly sounds better than she did that night. On the Oscars she was mumbling, slurring her words, and came off as a bit addled.
