Kim Novak's Vertigo (DVD) Coming to Our Shelves October 2026

Kim Novak (Vertigo, Picnic, Bell Book and Candle) remains one of Hollywood’s most enduring enigmas – a luminous star who, at the peak of her fame, turned her back on the spotlight to embrace a life of solitude, self-expression, and authenticity. Once the top box office draw in the world, she defied the expectations of the studio system and the confines of celebrity, choosing individuality over image, and art over artifice. Kim Novak’s Vertigo is a lyrical and intimate portrait of a woman who refused to be remade by the industry that sought to define her. Blending rare archival footage with deeply personal reflections and vivid glimpses into her reclusive life along Oregon’s wild Rogue River, the film traces her extraordinary path – from mid-century icon to fiercely private artist.
