Accident or Murder? The Life and Mysterious Death of Actress Natalie Wood | Well, I Never Stars

[@moondancer4660]

You got that right! She sure was used both in Hollywood and closer to home. Tearing the Wings off of a butterfly? Sending her daughter out with an older man knowing she would probably get raped and sure enough she did get raped. I suppose all her mother really wanted was all the things Natalie would be able to buy her, etc etc

[@St.Linguini_of_Pesto]

Wow, never heard that butterfly story before. The butterfly should receive an honorary Oscar, for its sacrifice for art. R.I.P. little flutterby. 🦋

[@julecaesara482]

her mother ripped a butterfly's wings off? oh boy that was my first red flag

[@lorimiller4301]

That's so vile, so cruel, I can barely stand to hear of it. The woman had to be evil to do that to her own child for such selfish reasons.

No one's ever properly explained why Wagner would want her dead though?

[@Bethgael]

@@zzzbbbooo A friend of mine, Patricia Riggs, was murdered by her husband (after they found her body 15 years after her disappearance, he went to trial and is now in jail doing 15 years for her "manslaughter". You can google the details because I'm not going to glorify him with them). He was, likewise, a friend of my and my ex-husband's--they went to the same church with my ex. He did not "want her dead" but he still killed her. Intimate partner violence is insidious. And yes, my ex is an ex for a reason and there but for the fact I got out before his temper and "man is the abusive head of the family" mores got that far, go I. Not every slaying has a "motive". You don't have to _want_ someone dead to kill them. You simply have to lose "control" of yourself and think it's okay to bash your wife. And, oh no, I killed her [sarcasm]. He may not have done so intentionally, but he is absolutely the reason she is dead.

[@fredsalter1915]

Her untimely death is a huge loss. I remember seeing Brainstorm in the theater back in 1983. Fantastic flick and fantastic acting by Mrs. Wood. RIP.

I love her work. She was always so afraid of dying by drowning in the sea…and it came to be.

[@Onora619]

Tragically, it seems like she got exactly what she didn't want all her life. I feel so bad for her.

[@moondancer4660]

​ it seems to me that's how life works. The way you are the most afraid of dying is the way you die and you unconsciously choose your disease. All my life I was scared to death of having a stroke or in some way winding up a prisoner in my own body and now here I am paralyzed. I praise the Lord that I'm not totally paralyzed!

[@sunitafisher4758]

🌸 her mother or nana predicted that she would die in sea, which is why she was afraid of it This is how I know they lied when he said she went into digging No one with a fear like that could do so 2011 they gained new evidence and redid autopsy, they reviewed all pics and evidence They noticed she had no bruises associated with drowning but she hand bruises on her ankles, wrists and knees consistent with throwing someone over side of boat Also captain recently confirmed in that new case, that he lied originally and said her husband stopped him from using search lights that night when he noticed her missing and refused him calling anyone to report it to help her from possible water What he didn’t realise is that she was tossed overboard. Robert didn’t call authorities till NEXT MORNING, when he was sure she was DEAD. She saw something and she possibly threatened to tell, I’m guessing she caught him & Chris having sex. It was said if it came out back then it would have destroyed Christopher career

[@susanb2015]

It was probably because when she was 10 while filming a movie a bridge broke too soon and she was hanging onto it over a raging river and rain in the dark and they kept filming the scene not realizing what happened. She broke her wrist.

[@TheFinalBathAmber]

Fascinating thanks Paul!

[@zzydny]

My feeling is that it was a tragic accident precipitated by the behavior of the people on board ship. I have always thought it likely that she had been beaten and that, trying to get away from her abuser, she attempted to get into the dinghy to get to the tiny village at Two Harbors since the boat was moored near there at the isthmus of Catalina. It would have been possible for her to get transport from Two Harbors to Avalon (the major settlement), and she could have taken the ferry or possibly a helicopter from there back to the mainland. However, the seas around Catalina Island can be quite rough and piloting a dinghy is not so easy as it might seem especially for someone who lacks experience in handling a small craft. Given her fear of deep water and given her status as a star, it seems unlikely that she ever had to do anything so "workmanlike" as rowing a dinghy. It has been many years but my memories of Catalina are sharp enough--yes, I have been there and yes, I have rowed a dinghy from ship to shore. It is physically difficult getting from the ship into the dinghy because of the waves, and it's also difficult to row the distance, particularly if the tide is going out. I have wondered what the tide was doing at the time of night she might have tried to get to shore. It's easy to drop an oar out of the oarlocks, and easy to tip the small boat if you reach out trying to get it back. I can think of many things that could so easily have gone wrong. Although it is possible (maybe even probable) that Natalie was murdered, it seems to me more likely that she was just trying to get away from the men, the arguments, and the abuse but she failed in the attempt.

[@shellbelli-martinez257]

Natalie had retired for the evening. She took her night pills and was dressed in her pajamas. Something had told her to check on the men before she went to sleep. What she saw, caused hysteria. RJ Wagner and Christopher Walken were in a compromising position. It wasn’t the first time Natalie caught RJ with another man. When they were first married, RJ was with his Butler. It destroyed her and their marriage. On the yacht that night, a terrible fight ensued. It was verbal, then it became violent, when she threatened to blow the whistle on RJ and Walken. At that time, it would have ruined both of their careers. RJ beat her up, then threw her overboard to silence her for good. Granted, they were all intoxicated, however, RJ knew exactly what he had done. So did Walken, so did the captain. It took RJ 3 hours to phone the lifeguard!! I hope the truth comes out before RJ dies, then Natalie can finally Rest In Peace. 🕊

[@gingergrant6759]

She was bruised she was in the water still wearing wool socks you can't thrash around the water and still wear wool socks she was unconscious thanks to Wagner who sought to teach her a lesson

[@edblevins681]

Once Wagner and Natalie began fighting on the back of the ship it was no accident she ended up in the water...It was deliberate, and that's called murder

[@edblevins681]

Read the book Good bye Natalie Good bye spendour and you what really happened

[@NanaBren]

Hi Paul, another great video. I have read quite a bit about this topic. Christopher Walken swears that he was in bed and knew nothing about the fight or her subsequent death. For her to try to get into a dinghy by herself and at night, it would have been something life threatening. Everyone on the boat knew she couldn’t swim. Frankly her fight with Wagner was loud and violent. I’m sure that Walken was awake and kept quiet to protect Wagner and himself, especially if they were sexually involved. The media would have crucified them both. She was likely unconscious from the beating when she was dumped into the water. Even if she fell, Wagner did nothing to save her life, the opposite happened. People have tried to contact her spirit ever since. I’m subscribed to a couple of those channels. According to her spirit, she was murdered and Wagner watched her drown. Take that information as you will. My hope is that she receives justice for all the abuse and crimes committed against her. May her soul rest peacefully. ❤Brenda

Yes this is an EXCELLENT channel. BRAVO very well done . A new favorite of mine 💯 %

[@madoldbatwoman]

I've always believed that he was responsible, maybe not intentionally. I can remember reading at the time that he was very jealous of her - across the board. Jealous and resentful of her success, the 'ease' with which it came to her (yeah, right, with that Mother), around other men and about the children. The more I've seen of men like that, the more I can see him pushing or shoving while haranguing her about Walken, and her going over the side. Then his sole concern was to protect himself.

[@peggypeggy4137]

I think at the very least he knew that she had gone overboard and did nothing about it. Everyone on the yacht was completely intoxicated, RW was extremely jealous for many reasons. Maybe some flirting with co-star, possibly more. Some people thought that she was trying to get into the dinghy to escape but given her fear and inability to swim, I doubt it. Nothing really done about it & his career and parental rights continued. I doubt this would happen nowadays. People hushed up and got away with so much more 40 plus yrs ago.

My theory is that Natalie Wood was being abused by Wagner (the bruises) and she was drunk and trying to get away in the dingy and fell into the water and drowned. People have said over the years that Wagner has anger issues, so its possible he could have hit her one too many times and then got rid of her. I think its more likely she did drown trying to get away from her abuser.

[@rosemaryfranzese317]

There is no way of being completely sure what happened to Natalie Wood but you did fail to mention a significant fact. Lana Wood has repeatedly accused Robert Wagner of being complicit in her sister’s death, however Natalie’s daughters don’t think so. Because what happened is still not completely clear suspicions and accusation will continue. One word of caution, there have been many strong circumstantial cases that have seemed to suggest that someone is definitely a murderer only to be disproved in the light of accurate forensics that have eventually turned up the truth.
