Kim Novak Academy Award Presenter Gown
The highlight of the 61st Academy Awards in 1989 was the re-teaming of super-stars Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart as presenters. They hadn’t been paired together since their two classic co-starring appearances, both in 1958, “Vertigo” and “Bell Book and Candle.” Everyone remembers the stunning glittering gold and velvet black gown Ms. Novak wore as she descended a giant staircase, with Mr. Stewart running up the steps to hold her hand and lead her down to the podium. The emotional reteaming brought down the house. This is that magnificent custom made gown worn by Ms. Novak. It was acquired by her cousin who has treasured it ever since Ms. Novak gave it to him years ago. Includes sewn in corset and zip front corset with clasp and snap to create the overlapping of the gold and black material. Amazing construction! Comes with a Letter of Provenience.
