Hollywood icon Kim Novak has distanced herself from the long-anticipated biopic Scandalous, stating she would never have approved Sydney Sweeney's portrayal of her in the film. The film is set to be directed by Sweeney's Euphoria co-star Colman Domingo and would star Sweeney as Novak and David Jonsson as Davis Jr. Novak expressed concern that the film would reduce her relationship with Davis to a tabloid-style affair rather than the emotional connection they shared. The biopic is based on Novak's brief but closely guarded romance with Davis.
