Kim Novak has left her Hollywood career far behind, but the 92-year-old will attend the film festival in Venice in the month of August-September to receive an award.

At the same time, the documentary "Kim Novak's Vertigo" by director Alexandre Philippe will have its premiere, writes the news agency Ansa.

The 92-year-old Kim Novak is best known for her role in the Hitchcock classic "Vertigo", which was titled "A Study in Murder" in Swedish. She also played major roles in the 1950s and 1960s in classics such as "The Man with the Golden Arm", "Picnic", and "Lover Come Back". A guest appearance in the TV series "Dynasty" in the late 1980s was among the last she did as an actress.
