 Natalie Wood
Natalie was one of the few child stars that was able to make a successful transition into adult roles with no awkward period in between.
Natalie believed that people who drew a line of distinction between films and television were snobbish, that good work was good work no matter what medium it was performed for.
Natalie Wood would often say in interviews throughout her life, "I like being on the water or near the water but not in the water." In many of her films she was required to film scenes in the water despite her objections.

Wood’s parents later changed their surname to Gurdin while Wood was still a baby.
With a lifelong and well known fear of deep water, Wood was reportedly not a skilled swimmer, and with the tragic combination of alcohol impairment and an extremely heavy-when-wet robe weighing her down, it proved to be recipe for disaster.

Justine Waddell as Natalie Wood, left, and Michael Weatherly as Robert Wagner star in "The Mystery of Natalie Wood," airing Monday night on ABC.
But Natalie Wood, a child actress who became a dazzling star, is remembered today less for her performances in such films as "Rebel Without a Cause," "Splendor in the Grass" and "West Side Story" than for her strange, untimely death: She fell off her yacht under murky circumstances and drowned at 43.
Then comes the fateful weekend when Wood, her husband and her co-star Christopher Walken (with whom she was shooting "Brainstorm," and, at least in Wagner's mind, having an affair), set sail for Catalina Island off the California coast.

Then to later years as Natalie struggled with age and the ups and downs of both her career and her relationship with her sister....culiminating to the fateful day when Lana was informed of her tragic death.
Forever in Natalie's shadow, Lana herself never developed her own life and identity, everything in her life is connected with Natalie in some fashion and she spends virtually her entire life seeking Natalie's approval and acknowledgement.
Lana Wood's tribute to her sister Natalie is a poignant, heart-wrenching and engrossing book that sums up the love/hate, resentment and longing often applied to siblings, but in this case, the older sister was a Hollywood superstar and the little sister was a wallflower continually in her shadow.

Groomed by a fanatically controlling stage mother, Wood (1938â€"1981) enchanted audiences in 1946's Tomorrow Is Forever and prompted Louella Parsons to proclaim, "Natalie Wood eats your heart out." Lambert follows her from such childhood triumphs as Miracle on 34th Street to her breakthrough adult part opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause.
As a devoted Natalie Wood fan (she was my childhood hero), I looked forward to reading a bio filled with new information and written by a friend who enjoyed a "twenty-year friendship" with Natalie.
It seems to me that it was written as a rebuttal, and to paint Lana Wood as a greedy, vicious person (she was obviously not interviewed), and to make childish slaps at her, when she was not given the opportunity to tell her side of it.

Natalie Wood will always be remembered as the beautiful, sad little girl who learned to believe in Santa Claus in The Miracle on 34th Street (1947).
Later, Wood proved her talents as an adult, starring in such notable films as Rebel without a Cause, West Side Story, and Splendor in the Grass.
With Rebel without a Cause, she showed audiences that she was also capable of more complex roles in an Academy Award-nominated performance, and this promise was borne out in Splendor in the Grass (1961) in which she played a young woman whose parents' attempts to suppress her burgeoning sexuality result in her madness.

 Natalie Wood: A Life by Gavin Lambert | PopMatters Book Review
Wood was always driven and talented, and with the benefit of hindsight, it's easy to watch her now in Miracle on 34th Street (1947), for example, and behold her sense of timing and humor, utterly free from awkward self- consciousness, a child receiving simple and total enjoyment from her precocious craft.
Wood wasn't being typecast into roles; she was playing the roles that her life demanded she play: orphaned child, repressed teenager, inflamed young adult and despairing woman.
None of that was required by the end of her life, of course, when all the drinking and pills and bad relationships, all the tears -- both forced and spontaneous -- had begun to do their destruction.

I'll reopen the gallery soon and take down the other sections about her--I just get so busy I feel that it would be best for the site if that's the way I handled it until Tricia's return--then, once she's back she can re-add all the other sections if she wants.

And it is directed by Peter Bogdanovich, a Wood contemporary (now 64, he was born the year after her) and a veteran filmmaker whose credits include Paper Moon and The Last Picture Show.
And there is her manipulative mother, a Russian immigrant pushing Natalie toward the American dream - stardom - while shackling her with lifelong phobias.
The events of Nov. 27 stretching into the dark morning of Nov. 29, 1981, occupy a hefty 20 minutes of the film - including the dreadful scene when Wood, her nightmare realized, plunges into the cold current, then slowly succumbs to hypothermia.
