Rumor has it that his father, Kirk Douglas, raped Natalie Wood when she was a young actress. The story has floated around for some time, without confirmation. Supposedly when the perpetrator dies Lana Wood will name the rapist.

That makes no sense. For one thing for it to be a credible accusation, since Natalie is dead and can’t confirm or deny it, her daughter would need to have in her possession, some sort of proof, like a hand written letter or audio recording of her mother naming her rapist. And if she does have that, why wait until the rapist is dead? They dead can’t lie, but they also can’t defend themselves either.

Lana Wood is her sister, not her daughter. She would know.
