Kim Novak voices concerns over Sydney Sweeney’s upcoming biopic ‘Scandalous’

Kim Novak pushed back against the upcoming biopic Scandalous, which stars Sydney Sweeney as the screen icon and explores her 1950s romance with entertainer Sammy Davis Jr.
While speaking to The Guardian from the Venice Film Festival, where a documentary about her life is premiering, the 92-year-old actress expressed discomfort with the film’s title and what she fears may be an exaggerated portrayal of her relationship.
Novak said, “I don’t think the relationship was scandalous. He’s somebody I really cared about. We had so much in common, including that need to be accepted for who we are and what we do, rather than how we look. I’m concerned they’re going to make it all sexual reasons.”
According to Daily Mail, the romance, which ended after Columbia Pictures boss Harry Cohn threatened Davis with mob violence, has long been viewed through the lens of Hollywood’s racial and cultural taboos of the era.
Directed by Colman Domingo, Scandalous will mark his directorial debut. Novak, however, feels the project risks misrepresenting a deeply personal chapter of her life.
At the festival, the actress celebrated the release of Kim Novak’s Vertigo, a documentary she described as a “full circle” tribute to her authenticity and resilience in an industry that once tried to reshape her image.
Moreover, Novak said, “It’s incredible to feel appreciated and to receive this gift before the end of my life. I think I’m being honored as much for being authentic as for my acting.”

Meghan Markle iterates her Netflix show is ‘not about marrying Prince Harry’

Meghan Markle is lauded for keeping her lfiestyle show apart from Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex, who seldom talks about the Duke of Sussex on the latest season of ‘With Love, Meghan,’ on Netflix, does not feature a cameo from her husband in order to keep her identity intact.
Royal expert Jennie Bond told the Mirror : “I think Meghan is very wise to keep the focus on her. This is her baby, her project, and I think Harry has deliberately kept out of the way so that the spotlight shines on his wife.”
“She talks about him from time to time in the new series and also mentions her children,” she said. “But this is a lifestyle show about cooking and crafting and chatting with her guests. It’s not about being married to a prince. It’s about being an influencer and selling her products. And it seems to be doing the job rather well.”

Jeremy Allen White reveals why playing Bruce Springsteen was ‘daunting’

Jeremy Allen White recently got candid and revealed what he felt while playing Bruce Springsteen.
The 34-year-old American actor appeared on the WTF podcast, where he shared that he did not have enough musical training before he agreed to play the legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist in his biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.
While conversing with his costar Marc Maron, who is playing Chuck Plotkin in the forthcoming biographical musical drama film written and directed by Scott Cooper, White spilled the tea on playing Springsteen before the man himself.
He said, “I had not had a lot of experience, or any experience, singing or playing guitar, so that was daunting to say the least in the beginning.”
The Mandalorian and Grogu noted that during the filming, Springsteen “couldn’t tell the difference” between their vocals at times for which he gave credit to vocal coach Eric Vetro, whose assistance in mastering the Glory Days crooner’s voice played a crucial role.
“He helped Austin [Butler] with the Elvis movie, he helped Timothée Chalamet with the [Bob] Dylan movie, he’s kind of the go-to, and he works with a lot of vocalists and real singers and performers,” White quipped.
Despite constant coaching from Vetro, he admitted “the singing was a gamble” and the phrasing on the 1982 record Nebraska was hard to get right.
“I remember Bruce was great the first time he heard one of my pre-records ’cause he was like, ‘You sound like me, but you’re singing the song, you’re making the song your own. You’ve got your connection to the song.’ And I think once he gave me that permission, not just with the music, but in a sense the entirety of the film, I feel like that released me a little bit from the anxiety,” Jeremy Allen White recalled.
It is pertinent to mention that Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is scheduled to be released on October 24, 2025.
