The film’s poster had her image in the bikini and became the best-selling poster of all time. Her beauty did not go unnoticed.

Not only was Kim Novak a talented actress, but she was also a painter and visual artist. Passionate about everything she did, Novak began her acting career in 1954 when she signed with Columbia Pictures.  The production company brought her on after Rita Hayworth was declining in popularity. They thought she could garner attention like Marilyn Monroe at 20th Century Fox.

There is no denying that British actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn was a worldwide sensation.
