Novak also remembered the racism that Davis endured in midcentury Hollywood. "Because of the color of his skin people did terrible things," she said.

However, Novak rejected the rumor that she applied for a marriage license to wed the legendary singer, actor, and dancer. "No, no," she said. "I mean, he loved me. I cared for him deeply. But at that time I never wanted to marry anybody."

TheMan With the Golden Armactress also said the late studio executive and Columbia Pictures co-founder Harry Cohn was a horrible boss. "Harry kept you on a tight rein," she recalled. "He even had people follow me around to make sure I wasn't wasting my time talking to the person who was selling hot dogs [on set], and he told me, 'Don't eat those hot dogs.' I was always conscious of not putting on weight and how I dressed. They were constantly controlling you. If I put that much control on my horse I wouldn't blame him if he bucked me off."

When asked if she'd heard the rumors that Cohn threatened Davis with violence if the singer didn't marry a Black woman, Novak replied, "Oh, I know it was true."
