Rumor has it that he raped Natalie Wood, not in some movie but in real life, when she was very young but so far there’s been no direct accusation. The story is that when the rapist dies, Lana Wood will name the perp.
Interesting you say that. I was actually reading this article last night about the so-called secret tunnels under the Playboy Mansion. Playboy did the article and they found actual blue prints of the tunnels.
Whether they were built or not, no one from Playboy or the mansion will say. The interesting thing about the tunnels, if true, is they connected to some of the Hollywood stars homes so they had secret access to the Playboy Mansion.
According to the blueprints, tunnels were built to the homes of “Mr. J. Nicholson,” “Mr. W. Beatty,” “Mr. K. Douglas” and “Mr. J. Caan.”. If they are who we think they are, I was surprised to see Kirk Douglas on the list. I did not know about the Natalie Woods rape allegations till your post and it got me to thinking about this article. I'll post the article for anyone to check it out for themselves.
I just watched “The Great Race” a few days ago. Good Lord, Natalie Wood was HOT. Wow. Read her bio on Wiki — very interesting family history. Her mother pushed her very aggressively into films and moved the family to LA so she could be near the center of the movie universe. She quickly landed a child role. Her parents were Russian and she spoke Russian with an American accent. She got to put her Russian to use with one short line in “The Great Race.”
