Show Notes
Ninety-three-year-old Kim Novak, icon of the film Vertigo, has expressed her disapproval of Sydney Sweeneys casting as her in the upcoming biopic Scandalous. Novak, who is passionate about her real-life story, believes Sweeney is too sexy up top and cannot capture her essence. The film, directed by Colman Domingo and starring Sweeney, focuses on Novaks interracial romance with Sammy Davis Jr. in the late 1950s. Novak has been vocal about her concerns since Miramax picked up the film in October 2024, even disliking the title initially. She has also spoken about her bipolar diagnosis and doubts Sweeneys ability to portray that raw vulnerability. Sweeney, however, has responded positively, calling Novak an amazing actress and relating to her Hollywood struggles. The film is set to start shooting this year, and the casting controversy has everyone eager to see how it plays out on screen.
