Kim Novak looked very different from how she usually does as she collected the Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement. This was after releasing a documentary about her difficult childhood.

The 92-year-old actress wore an emerald and black gown to accept the award. Her documentary is called Kim Novak’s Vertigo.

She had changed her hair colour from brown to blonde and cut it short. She also wore a diamond brooch. The text is now simpler.

The documentary examines her life, focusing on her role in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, and how she transitioned from being a famous actress to living a quiet life as an artist in Oregon.

Kim stopped being in the public eye, but when she does appear in public, her fans notice that her face looks very different from how it did when she was acting. The text is now simpler.

Kim’s appearance at the 2014 Oscars was very controversial. She had a noticeably puffier face, and many people criticised her for that.

Even Donald Trump had something to say about her appearance, tweeting at the time: ‘Kim should sue her plastic surgeon!’

Kim said that she was sorry she had undergone cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance. It didn’t work how she had hoped it would. The text is now simpler.

She also spoke openly about how cruel Hollywood’s beauty standards are and how harsh ageism is in the industry. The text is now simpler.

Her new documentary reveals all about her incredible life. It begins by discussing her childhood in Chicago during the Great Depression. Then it goes on to describe her ten years as a Hollywood superstar. And finally, it discusses how she chose to leave show business.

She says of the revelations: I have felt like I need to get rid of the memories that have been hidden away in the back of my mind.

Her mother, Blanche, is one of them. She tried to kill her. The text is now simpler.

Blanche tried to end her pregnancy by using knitting needles, and then, when that didn’t work, she wanted to smother her baby with a pillow.

She also said that her father, Joseph, who she said had mental health issues, kept her dead brother’s body in a jar in the basement of the family home.

Filmmaker Alexandre Phillippe said he was amazed to receive a voicemail from Novak about these stories. I said, “Wow, is it really that dark?” The text is now simpler.

He added: ‘I’m honoured to be able to share these powerful secrets and memories.’

Novak travelled from her large horse farm in Oregon to receive the award from the festival.
