The reason they haven't made the movie about Natalie Wood's murder is that Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken are still alive!!! D'uh! As soon as both these guys are dead, within a year and a half or 2 of the latter's death there will be a movie!!! Just look at history. 1 example is $Monster" where Charlize Theron won an Oscar!!!

[@cinemillstv]

Your probably right.

[@abrahamhicks3709]

So true.

[@edcpike]

I agree. The studio already lost one big actor, they didn’t want to loose two more. Yet I still can’t believe they covered this up. Natalie is still beloved.

[@thisisme3238]

I believe a movie will be made after Robert Wagner's demise. I also believe that Christopher Walken knows a lot more truth about what really happened to Natalie that night.

I believe Wagner got drunk, angry and killed her. Or thought he had. Panicked and dumped her overboard. And I will believe that until I meet my maker.

I was working at Antonios hair selon in Grand central, New York. This man Antonis was cutting every movie stars hair. " he told me the most arrogant celebrity that he had to deal with cutting his hair, was Robert Wagner". He told me he showed up at the selon 2 hours late...he never apologized

[@cinemillstv]

Wow that's not cool at all.

[@Ern415]

U need to have Chris Todd on here more with these crime stories. Very interesting. Dope content

[@cinemillstv]

Ern - Chris is a regular on the channel. We will be covering numerous True Crime cases as our series "Chris Todd Investigates" Natalie Wood.

[@HuntingVictorDocumentary]

100000% agreed! Chris needs his own TV series

[@nancykaczmarz8874]

They were all drunk arguing and she left the boat in a huff,not thinking and drown with her down vest on!

[@jritechnology]

I have been saying for years that Walken and Wagner know exactly what happened to her. It is a shame that we have to wait until these nutjob, jealous, insecure, spoiled actors are either dead, or so old they might as well be dead, before someone steps up and chokes a little truth out of someone who knows. BTW: Your video/channel description is quite a bit off when it describes Chris and the Natalie Wood investigation, then says "However, the assassination has been the subject of ,,,," and starts talking about Kennedy and Oswald.

[@cinemillstv]

Thank you for comment and alerting us to the description change hopefully our intern has changed it. This case is another tragic story among many that Chris Todd keeps pounding. He is a remarkable investigator.

[@Stufftowatch21]

There’s another story out there, RJ & Christopher we’re caught sleeping with each other by Natalie , she confronts RJ they get into heated argument RJ hits Natalie on the head falls into the ocean.

Natalie was Terrified of water-at 9yrs old she was in a movie&injured/broke her arm I think it was in a scene from a movie.Also have heard the reason Natalie divorced wagner the first timewas the Butler! This Chris Todd says Brilliant..and the interviewer says it was tragic,which it horribly was...RIP NATALIE WOOD💖💖🙏🙏 And her hubby should of told the truth..

[@tknudcarter]

Natalie Wood and OJ both...Chris Todd's explanations always make more sense than the "official story."

[@charlieb308]

Walken if he was a real man would say something. just sit there while he is getting beat up. He never says anything all these years later

[@thisisme3238]

I think he will talk after Wagner has passed.

[@danielj.9857]

Awesome ! This Chris Todd Dude is a Bad Ass!

[@SandraL-gh1pd]

I am wondering why Internal Affairs has not been involved. Since a judge ruled LASDHQ is not investigating just doing paid interviews. Natalie did have female friends. They were not famous even though they were in industry. One of her best friends was Hope Lang. And Natalie Wood did not take Quaalude even though Dennis Davern claimed she did. Samuel Perroni found that out through experts.

[@calvinnewborn8452]

What would drive her to get on that boat, in the middle of the night? She was afraid of water, l heard.

[@edcpike]

She never would have done that. Dark water was her biggest fear. And she couldn’t swim. She would have had Davenport take her to shore. She would have never gone alone.

[@veljkoterzic3513]

shouldnt the captain be held accountable for not coming forward when she died ?...

[@cinemillstv]

Cpt Davern tried every protocol, but his Boss was very inebriated and took control of the situation according to Cpt. Davern himself.

[@michaelharrison72]

Was the reference to Cliff Booth killing his wife in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” a direct correlation to Natalie Woods death?

Why hasn't the boat captain not told everything? Why not bring Chris or Robert in for more questions? It's not like either of them are Hollywood hotshot in these times. So I dount they would be protected these days.

[@Robzrx]

You’re entirely brushing aside the official story that was given by those who were there. It’s entirely plausible that while intoxicated Natalie Wood elected to get in the dinghy and try to get to shore. If you have ever dealt with an upset emotional and intoxicated female they are absolutely capable of making rash and dangerous decisions like exiting your vehicle in a dangerous neighborhood at night or in this case entering a small boat in the ocean at night. Is it possible that Wagner killed her and covered it up? Of course. The more likely scenario is the official one though. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@mark-c802]

it doesn't easily explain her extensive injuries and she also had no history of using the dinghy alone esp under such unfavorable circumstances

[@Robzrx]

@@mark-c802 what extensive injuries? She had bruises on her body and arms and an abrasion on her cheek. Davern and Wagner have both admitted that there was an argument/fight between the couple which explains the bruises and abrasion. Why would Davern divulge the fight but stop short of accusing Wagner of murder if that’s what actually happened?

[@mark-c802]

the extensive injuries you list are what i'm referring to...i'm not sure nw's death was deliberate but if it was rj's doing and davern knew it then he had some reasons not to say anything...how she got overboard is the big mystery but i don't feel she willingly launched herself

[@theresaturner630]

A jealous fight on board always what i believed

[@donhypno327]

Lets go!!!!!!!

[@maree-mareesongwriter6226]

Robert Wagner comes off as such a cold,, narcissistic piece of work in all this; guilty of man slaughter at the very least. But truthfully, all three cowards on that boat were complicit in her death by their neglect, silence and collusion. Quite pathetic in all honesty. Poor Natalie - beautiful lady and actress. She had that soft, seductive beauty, those enormous dark 'Russian' eyes. Considering what the gypsy-fortune teller said about the 'dark water', it all seems like such a strange almost, self-fulfilling prophesy.

This is random, but it's pretty interesting that Chris Todd has worked on this case and OJ's. Both RJ and OJ worked on The Towering Inferno. Similar initials, same film and both suspected of killing their wives over jealousy.

Wow, well your uncalled for, cold, & highly judgemental, "well that's what drunks do" comment immediately identifies YOU as a raging HYPOCRITE who more than likely has not just one but probably several dirty secrets or habits hidden away in his own closet as one if the things I've learned in my 89 years on this planet is that it's the very people like U who've never doubted that they are better than nearly everyone & everyone else that will consistently go out of their way to call out any mistakes, poor choices, habits, etc. of others attempting to highlight their supposed superiority while hiding much, much worse in their own lives/closets. Get off your high horse & try looking in a mirror for once. UGH, people SUCK.

[@johnhavrish2911]

Walken is the guilty one

[@alexisbelcher3967]

Great information, stay with me ok, my gut tells me that RJ-CW had time alone together, I know, I know but the biggest darkest secret on the boat Splendor was that RJ was a bisexual all of old Hollywood knew this and so did Natalie. The men had time alone together no wife no captain, she returns to the boat. Oh danger temperatures are rising all hell broke loose from RJ wants to have cake and pie at the same time, he’s drunk with alpha male rage. Drowning his problems, having more drink.

[@cinemillstv]

Are you suggesting that RJ and Walken were on the boat busting each other's cheeks?
