HOLLYWOOD - Kim Novak, the veteran starlet of Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo," the Frank Sinatra musical "Pal Joey" and many others films, lost her home and mementoes in a fire Monday. Authorities in Eagle Point, Oregon, told The Associated Press that the fire was probably electrical, and it was likely triggered when a tree fell on to Novak's house the night before.
The blaze destroyed a computer that contained Novak's autobiography-in-progress, which she had been working on for a decade.
''I take it personally as a sign my story should not be told,'' the 67-year-old actress said.
It's the second time Novak has lost her home to a disaster. In the 1960s, her Bel Air, Calif., home was wiped out in a mudslide, and her Picasso paintings and other valuables were destroyed.
"South Park" CHEESY POOFS AND SAFE SEX: The "South Park" kids are branching out into new fields of entertainment. Soon, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman and Chef will be appearing on condoms -- yes, condoms -- that will be sold in the United Kingdom.
Manufactured by a company called Condomania, the "South Park" prophylactics will be sold in boxes of 10 for about $20.
But, will they make you "bigger, longer?"
