Natasha's best was Splendor in the Grass. Not only was she devastatingly beautiful, but I'll never get over her heartbreaking "Bye" to the Warren Beatty character in the end of it.

You are correct. It was her eyes! But she could make those eyes flash and twinkle, go sultry, go mysterious. Natalie forever.

Walken ain’t talkin’

Mel Gibson said that Walken "floated in" and totally creeped him out when they first met, made him think of the Anti-Christ.

Sleepy

Surely he's just misunderstood.

Robert Wagner was caught in bed with another guy by Natalie Wood when they were married the first time.

I bet she caught him with Christopher Walken on the boat and who knows what happened to her. Did she drink some more and get into the small boat or something else? I bet something else.

Natalie Wood was born 1938.
Kirk Douglas was 38 and Natalie Wood was 17 in 1955 when he raped her.
She was 18 and Nicholas Ray (director) was 44 in 1956.
He directed her in “Rebel without a cause”. She knew how to get a role.

Robert Wagner was 8 years older the Natalie Wood and likes guys and gals.
He dated Barbara Stanwyck who was 23 years older and Joan Crawford who was 25 years older. Excerpt: She reportedly had an affair with 38-year-old Frank Sinatra when she was 15.....

In hollywood they have sex with young and old to get a role in the movies or tv shows.

Wagner suspected she was two timing with Walked and was jealous. Apparently that’s what sparked the drunken antics on the night of her death. I think she had cheated on him previously.

So what was the ‘very interesting story’ your friend told you about Natalie? And what was the interesting source? Inquiring minds want to know.

Essentially that’s it. Supposedly Wagner’s gay escapades were extreme, and were the cause of his and Natalie’s earlier divorce.
Also claimed her cheating with Warren Beatty was a Hollywood cover story to hide the real reason.
The source was my friend’s mother worked and socialized with a very high level gay executive who knew them and told her these stories directly.
Some of what he described was extremely salacious. Supposedly Natalie took Wagner back after he promised to stop the gay stuff.
Then she caught him with Walken.
Even IF all this was true, doesn’t prove he killed her.

I did not know the rumors of RJ being gay.

I’d love to tell the story of what the executive described regarding Wagner’s behavior, but even with disclaimers it might cross a line.
Then again it did involve a line.

I’ve been good about these things. I know the democrats were trying to get a scandal story published against GWB in the Bush Gore election. That was from a direct source at the top of the DNC. They were mad the media would not go with it. I didn’t believe the story as described to me at the time, but thought it might help Bush because Gore was denying they were behind the DWI story which of course they were, but I decided revealing their efforts would just bring out the allegations against Bush.
I’m no fan of Bush now but maybe someday. It does have a tiny historic significance.
