Kim Novak 'Would Never Have Approved' Sydney Sweeney to Play Her as She Slams Casting for Upcoming Movie
Kim Novak disapproves of the biopic title 'Scandalous' and Sydney Sweeney's casting, highlighting decades of industry control and racial barriers in her 1950s romance.
- Actress Kim Novak, 93, publicly criticized the casting of Sydney Sweeney in the biopic Scandalous, stating she 'would never' have approved the choice and that Sweeney was 'totally wrong' to play her.
- The film Scandalous chronicles Novak's romance with jazz legend Sammy Davis; Novak expressed concern the movie will prioritize the sexual aspect of their relationship over the deep connection they actually shared.
- Novak suggested the Washington-native 'sticks out so much above the waist,' arguing Sweeney 'looks sexy all the time,' and stated there is 'no way it wouldn't be a sexual relationship' on screen.
- Sydney Sweeney previously announced she was 'incredibly honoured' to portray the actress, telling People in October last year she intended to 'turn her brain into Kim' after finishing Euphoria.
- Sweeney has discussed her own history with body confidence, noting earlier this month that her role as Cassie Howard helped her realize it is 'actually powerful to be confident' and embrace her body.
