Was Kim Novak a One Hit Wonder?

Except Vertigo, I don't remember her from any other all time classic.

Sorta like Carrie Fisher.

She was great in Vertigo, should if been nominated.
But after that, her roles were in b movies.

Anybody know what happened?

Not like Carrie Fisher

She was good in "Picnic" and "The Mirror Crack'd", but yeah. She was beautiful but didn't make many good films, and didn't give many memorable performances. I don't know how much more she was capable of, I know she didn't like life in Hollywood and didn't work for the best studio, but she had a lot more chances than most actors and didn't produce much.

Still, I'll always be grateful for her work in "Vertigo", that one was absolutely perfect for her talents!
