The dude with the camera looks like the other arrogant liberal comedian George Lopez.

Now wasn’t it Kirk that is rumored to have raped Natalie Wood?

There have been long standing rumours for years that Kirk Douglas allegedly raped Natalie Wood and she was terrified of him. In those days if you were a big box office draw studios covered up things so as not to destroy their stars credibility. The Hollywood insider known as Himmmm delivered three long posts in the comments that were supposedly about the Douglas-Wood story.

It describes how Natalie Wood wanted edgier roles (Rebel Without a Cause comes to mind) and eventually had an affair with a married director to get a desired part. Word got around that she would do the deed with anyone (with her mother’s encouragement) for a movie part and supposedly the Spartacus actor took her up on it.

Wood at this time thought she was powerful in the movie world, accepted the invitation and as soon as she walked into the door the actor made his intentions known. She decline his advances and he threw her down and ripped her clothing off. He allegedly raped her repeatedly and told her as she laid battered and hurt to come and see him the next night and he might give her a part. The actress’s mother accused Wood of making the actor angry and the damage to Natalie was permanent, both mentally and physically.

In 1949 actress Jean Spangler disappeared and Douglas’s name was brought up once again.  On October 7, 1949 Spangler kissed her 5-year-old daughter goodbye and the next day an employee at Griffith Park reported finding Jean Spangler’s purse near the Fern Dell entrance to the park. Inside the purse, written in Jean’s hand, it read: “Kirk – Can’t wait any longer. Going to see Dr. Scott. It will work out best this way while mother is away.” The 27-year-old B actress was reportedly three months pregnant and going to get an illegal abortion.

According to Palm Springs Life actor Robert Cummings,  told police that the last film Jean had been working on she mentioned a recent new romance. Spangler told Cummings it wasn’t serious but she was having the time of her life. Douglas, when asked by police said he didn’t remember her and Spangler’s mother said the only Kirk Spangler talked about was the actor on the set. After exhaustive investigation Dr. Scott was found out to be a medical student who performed abortions for the Hollywood-set and the case is still open. Was it Douglas, her ex -husband, or the mob?
