Kim Novak will forever be remembered for her dual role in Hitchcocks \Vertigo\, in which she plays a woman forced to transform into someone else to fulfill a mans obsession. Novak was a rebel inside a star system that broke womens spirits in order to manufacture screen goddesses, a toxic system she never ceased to speak out against. In the 1950s at the age of 20, Novak finds herself thrown into the limelight. With no acting experience, the young woman who dreamed of becoming a painter undergoes a makeover which will transform her into a glamorous bombshell. Her anxiety on set is compounded by an intimidating studio head, demanding directors, and a misogynist press. This first documentary about Kim Novak, her career and her emancipation from the Hollywood system, tells the story of how this box office sensation who worked with some of the greatest directors of the era takes on the Hollywood studio system and reclaims her life - with the exclusive participation of the actress herself.

Hardy is not the man he appears to be. Combining radical instincts, a hatred of hypocrisy, poetic brilliance and a deep sense of the tragic basis of life, Hardy had a quiet external appearance but internally was a man of seething, gloomy darkness. The author of a series of a brilliant novels, many of which have been made into successful feature films -Tess of the DUrbevilles, Far from the Madding Crowd and Jude the Obscure -Hardy late in life became a great poet. Despite his respectable outward appearance, Hardys life was more complex than it seemed. He married his first wife Emma Gifford in 1874 and became estranged from her for the last 20 years of their life together. They hardly spoke. Hardy was overcome with grief and sadness following the death of Emma.He had ignored her for half their married life. Hardys uncomfortable secret was that for the last years of his wifes life he had been deeply in love with a young woman -his secretary. Quite simply and rather suddenly, Hardys acts of mourning and regret released a greater poet within himself. The work he created made Hardy one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. At the heart of Hardys writing is the intersection of fate and chance with human tragedy, set in a landscape that Hardy called Wessex -one that has haunted his readers ever since.
