US police are to re-open the investigation into the death of US actress Natalie Wood, who died in mysterious circumstances while boating in 1981, they said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) on Thursday said new information had come to light over the death, which was deemed an accident at the time but which has long fueled speculation.
Wood drowned aged 43 while boating off of Catalina Island, near Los Angeles on November 29, 1981. It was investigated by the LASD and the LA County Coroner's Office, who ruled it was an accident.
"Recently Sheriff's Homicide Investigators were contacted by persons who stated they had additional information about the Natalie Wood Wagner drowning," said an LASD statement.

LA County Sheriff Lee Baca told the newspaper that homicide detectives want to talk to the captain based on comments he had made recounting the case on its 30th anniversary.

Thanks, Joe.
A gorgeous woman, probably the CZJ of her era.
OTOH, this will create how many jobs, now?
People just never learn that lying & cheating does not pay!
I wish there were sound.
2nd video - Jane Powell is in it, head scarf, yellow
two piece, on the blanket with a guy. VietJane is not
id’d.
Yes .. she was a beauty.
Have they arrested Christopher Walken yet?
I read a plausible scenario long ago about this. It starts with them all continuing to party on the boat, and then finally passing out, and then Natalie wakes up and goes outside for some air. Or, Walken and Wagner are drunk and arguing, and Natalie goes outside. Anyway, she's outside, wearing the down coat because it's cold. But she's drunk (and probably high), and sits down on the side of the boat and falls into the water. She can't swim, she's afraid of drowning, and she panics and doesn't dump the the coat, hoping it will keep her afloat. But instead it fills with water. So as she struggles, scratching the side of the dingy as she reaches upwards, the down coat holds her under until she drowns, and then she floats away. No sound or splashes because she's under the coat the whole time which spread out over her on the water.
Pretty gruesome, but it adds up. The only question seems to be why she went outside in the first place.
I see her now. You’re right.
Check TMZ.com, they have alot more details about the nite she died. From author of a book who collaborated with the boat captain..
Thanks!
Wagner was Barbara Stanwyck’s boy for a long time.
Q. Name a type of wood that doesn't float.
A. Natalie
Q: What's the opposite of Christopher Reeves?

Nice pic of Christopher looking just like my nephew, Richie.
Is that a publicity shot for “Brainstorm?” I really liked that movie.
Why didn’t Natalie Wood shower on the boat?
She preferred to wash up on the shore.
