LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Hollywood veteran actress Kim Novak has been diagnosed

with breast cancer, but doctors say her prospects for recovery are good, her

manager said Wednesday.

" It's true, but we have a very good prognosis. It should turn out just

fine, " manager Sue Cameron told AFP, after industry daily the Hollywood

Reporter broke the news Tuesday.

The 77-year-old actress, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 classic

" Vertigo " with Jimmy , maintains her health by working out

three times a week and horse-riding, Sue Cameron said.

The cancer " was caught early by a routine yearly mammogram and (she) is

undergoing treatment, " Cameron told the Hollywood Reporter. " All her

doctors say she is in fantastic physical shape and should recover very

well. "

Novak, who lives with her husband raising llamas in Oregon, made a rare

appearance in Hollywood in July to launch a DVD collection of her work, the Los

Angeles Times reported.

The sultry actress with the cropped blonde hair, high cheekbones and smokey

voice starred opposite several of Hollywood's biggest icons, including

Holden, Sinatra and Kirk .
