As with most of Alfred Hitchcock's leading ladies, Kim Novak has enjoyed a long and successful career in the mainstream entertainment industry, achieving continuous renown for her roles in Picnic, The Man with the Golden Arm, Pal Joey and 1958's all-time classic, Vertigo.
Yet as the new documentary Kim Novak's Vertigo shows viewers, not every moment in the Hollywood starlet's life was full of glamor and glitz.
According to the new documentary, the 92-year-old retired actress discussed the hardships of her early childhood, alleging that her parents attempted to murder her while she was still an infant owing to the financial burdens of the Great Depression.
"The Depression caused so much hardship," Novak claimed in the documentary. "My mom got pregnant, and she just couldn’t afford to have a child. She tried to abort me with knitting needles. But she wasn’t able to do it in this case, so I was born, but I know that she tried to suffocate me with a pillow, and I always had breathing issues.”
“I do remember fighting to breathe, to stay alive, and I won," Novak recounted. "I stayed alive. I made it through.”
In spite of these serious claims, Novak said that her childhood was ultimately a happy one, even as she maintained somewhat complicated relationships with both her mother and father.
"I so often think of my childhood as not being a good healthy childhood, but it was, you know," Novak said. "There were beautiful things. My father was a very strict man and difficult."
"My father was like, no one can succeed, but my mom was very confident, and her eyes sparkled and twinkled and she was so full of wanting to express the joy of life," the two-time Golden Globe winner continued. "I can still hear her telling me, or really making me tell me by looking in the mirror that I am the captain of my own ship, that I can be in charge of myself and what I do and how I create my image to the world."
