No Kim Novak posts?
Just wanted to know why she quit acting after having a pretty decent movie career.
shareI recently did some reading about Kim and listened to some interviews on YouTube.
I get the impression she was just fed up with the Hollywood rat-race and tired of being objectified.
Some people can take it, and some can't. I give her credit for following her heart and getting out.
It can't be easy to give up a successful career. It takes self-awareness and guts.
EDIT:
From Wiki: By the end of 1966, she was emotionally drained and no longer wanted to live the life of a Hollywood movie star, in the glare of the spotlight with the press criticizing her every move. When the mudslide took her Bel Air home and cost her entire life’s savings in bulldozer fees, she moved away from Hollywood to discover herself anew. From then on acting became a job and was no longer a career of choice. Novak preferred to concentrate on her first love, the visual arts, often writing poetry to accompany her paintings, and even writing some song lyrics. Harry Belafonte and the Kingston Trio recorded some of her folk songs in the 1960s.
