Several titles from The Rohauer film library, now the Cohen Film Collection, will be restored and released to the public.

Terrific photos of Kim Novak! Love all the men looking at her, right in the first picture. Also the one where she's laughing -- number 9, I think. LIFE always has the best pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo with the men too! I'm sure that happened to her a lot. I love LIFE pictures because they always seem to capture the real person. I'd heard that Novak was an introvert and not so sure about the attention she got from stardom, and yet there were certain experiences that came of it which she relished. I feel like you can see that in these photos.
