Kim was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1933. She started off as a fashion model, and was actually the spokesmodel for a fridge company called "Miss Deepfreeze". I thought that was cute. She then moved to Los Angeles where she got her start in film. Kim won a golden globe for her performance in "Picnic" in 1955, and in 1958 starred in her most famous role: Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo". Kim is not only an actress, she's also an artist. She paints, sculpts, writes poetry, and practices photography :)
