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.

[@gothicmatter9123]

[@edcpike]

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.

[@Trav81888]

Chris Todd…..the hottest guest on Cinemills TV at the moment. Excellent work as always boys. Excellent work!

[@cinemillstv]

Trav - people are loving his analysis. Chris will continue to be a regular on the show. Thank you for support.

[@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.

[@litsazorzou1568]

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

[@thekcsugethe_kc_suge7930]

I’ve always thought Wagner pushed her off that boat.

[@historicalhollywood]

No doubt about it

[@edcpike]

Ditto

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@sydneymartin7638]

Excellent story. Well told.

[@cinemillstv]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aaajjjj58]

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..

[@nancykaczmarz8874]

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

[@veljkoterzic3513]

[@aroundthefire862]

Great content here. So interesting

[@cinemillstv]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@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.

[@HuntingVictorDocumentary]

Chris IS the man!!!

[@scottwalker2980]

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.

[@richardshiggins704]

But how does this guy know anything ? He was not there . All hearsay .

[@vicksta8875]

He's a retired cop turned .murder investigator... He's been doing this for a long while!!! Chris Todd...❤

[@gothicmatter9123]

Really, he was a cop? I didn't know that. 🤔 ​@vicksta8875

[@mattdrago4660]

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.

[@cinemillstv]

Matt that is interesting we showed your comment to Chris and he was intrigued by that connection.

[@mattdrago4660]

@cinemillstv appreciate you forwarding that to him. Glad I discovered this channel. Great work 👏

[@nancykaczmarz8874]

And you were not there!

[@yakfishin4912]

This guy keeps menioning her final goodbye. Her final goodbye was decades ago.

[@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

[@giulianakerim1670]

Why was walken the third wheel, I mean husband and wife and then a third guy, something is not right, she seen something

[@yakfishin4912]

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.

[@musiclover3205]

I believe Christopher Walken has spoken to the police since the case reopened.

[@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.

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