New Natalie Wood Documentary Explores Actress’s Death

For years actor Robert Wagner has fought rumors that he had something to do with the 1981 death of his wife, Hollywood legend Natalie Wood. Now he's opening up in an interview with his own stepdaughter, Natalie’s daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner, for the HBO Documentary "Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind." She questions Wagner for details about that terrible night. The HBO Documentary Film "Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind" debuted May 5 on HBO. #InsideEdition

Daddy did it darling. It was a well-known fact she hated the water and she would’ve never have just gone overboard herself. Oddly they had problems in the relationship before that’s why they were divorced, he is extremely jealous of her. He had too much to drink that night and sent her overboard!!

[@tangajTANG]

One of the staff on boat stated after they heard the scream, he went out there and Wagner said to leave her there to teach her a lesson. No one saw what happened before then; if he slapped her around and forced her into the dingy.

No he just controls the situation, thinking he knows best for his wife, like she's incapable of her own opinion about her own career. Like who the hell does he think he is? I can already I see a violent, control freak just by him speaking about him and walken. Walken never threatened him with a bottle. Wagners got a short fuse, a hair trigger.

[@interstategar]

Natalie didn't pick up the dingy and launch herself into the ocean. Wagner refused to even try and find her, according to the captain of the boat. From what the captain said he heard a loud argument between Natalie and Wagner, then suddenly it was silent. He probably punched, knocked her out, put her into the dingy ad set it adrift. It then could have been some big waves that knocked her out of the dingy

So sick of rich people getting away with things that a normal person would have gotten the electric chair for, like OJ case also

[@kateriallen9357]

Originally Walken and Davern's statements matched Wagner's, said to be devised by Wagner and very fishy. However, Davern admitted to falsehoods in his original story and has passed two lie detector tests since changing his account of that night. I know police have interviewed Walken again since the case was reopened, but police have not divulged what Walken said, at least not to the general public. I'm referencing the 48hrs investigation that was televised. I guess they did this out of fear of jeopardizing the investigation? If Walken's account is as you say, Robert Wagner should be charged with murder, the only charge that is not affected by a statute of limitations.

[@timmitchell3870]

I was pretty young - but I remember when it happened. No one suspected much of anything at the time other than she was drunk and fell overboard; it wasn't until many years later that Wagner's possible role came into question.

[@SuperMinion-vy1hk]

Why is it obvious? I also remembered when it happened, they had Police, Sheriffs, Coast Guards, I mean everyone was on top of it. If they really thought he had something to do with it I really think sometime over the last 40 years they would’ve. People need to accept it for what it was a very tragic accident.

[@samspadepi4216]

They were married two times, first, December 28, 1957, in Arizona. In less than three years, autumn of 1961, Natalie awoke in the middle of the night and wagner wasn’t in their bed. She got up to look for him and saw him having sex with David Cavendish, his British gay butler, who was wagner’s butler before Natalie married him. Their divorce was final in 1962. I cant imagine the reason she remarried him in 1972. When asked how she could remarry him, her reply was, “Sometimes it’s better to be with the devil you know than be with others you don’t.” wagner has always liked the boys, first, living with gay actor, Clifton Webb and his mother, which everyone in films knew. Of course, he murdered Natalie about 11:15 pm on November 28, 1981, after beating her until she was unconscious, dragged her by her bruised ankles to the swim step and pushed her into the ocean. I’m thrilled that the new Los Angeles County District Attorney, George Cascon, pledged to form a grand jury in 2021, to examine the many holes in wagner’s story and put him on trial for the murder of Natalie.

[@crystalb4178]

I rolled my eyes when she said that he would have given his life for her Mom. Their love couldn't have been that powerful considering that he moved on with his now wife, three months after her death. The dismissive attitude over being a person of interest and his cold emotionless expression as his daughter is getting upset over him being suspected in her death and tells him that she knows he would die for her mother also doesn't give the impression that his love for Natalie was that strong and deep. I really hope for his daughters sake that he is innocent.

[@musicfan2511]

The way he was dismissive and went from “yes I would of” to “we all would have” quickly undermines the power of his love and emotion for Natalie as he is generalising his feelings to that of everyone else, even though he was her husband- supposedly the closest person to her. The way he shifts the focus from himself to other people, shows that he is not comfortable with this being discussed. Any innocent man would take an opportunity such as this to make it perfectly clear how innocent he was and just how much he loved his wife ( as RJ supposedly did). He looks shifty and uncomfortable and is extremely vague. IMO he is guilty as sin.

[@greygirl3168]

I wonder if she would still feel like her father would die for her mother since he couldn’t be bothered to look for her. Once it was discovered she was not onboard and her fear of the water RJW decided to have a drink and not call anyone...why is that?

[@gaelswed]

she was found still wearing socks suggesting she was unconscious going in... yet there is a statement regarding a lady calling "help me I'm drowning" so even though this is confusing.. the whole incident is utterly suspicious from top to tail... my money is 10 yrs prior.. the buttler did it.. with wagner... this time she found wagner with walken... fill in the blanks.. walken and wagner will take it to their graves unfortunately.

Happy 50th birthday, natasha! My birthday was just a few days ago. I' m 50 now , too. Good luck. Your mother was my favorite actress. I think of your family all the time. I watch and listen to documentaries of your mom all the time. I' m sure your mom is smiling down on you , wishing you the best, as i do and dreaming she could be with you and clover now. I hope to meet you someday.

[@raymogactil6216]

[@harperstacey9604]

Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood were heavy drinkers. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@sirobb]

He's never struck me as someone who blamelessly lost the love of his life out of the blue. The guy's had 40 years to cement his story with her and what girl doesn't want to trust and believe her dad especially when she's already lost her mother? My guess is that there was a drunken row with no shortage of righteous indignation between all parties and Natalie somehow entered the water with no-one's help i.e. slipping or falling. When this was noticed by other's, no-one helped her to get out of the water for whatever reason. That is a stain on their memory which will never be erased. Maybe they were too drunk and felt they'd drown too, maybe not helping would teach her a lesson, I don't know. It's impossible to "justify" drunken logic when you're sober so I'm just throwing things out there but I always take comfort in knowing that the truth remains forever regardless of what anyone thinks, says or does and if anyone has left another human to drown, that person will carry that with them always. Money cannot buy your conscience.

[@leobewley375]

Either he did something that contributed or he was so wasted he doesn’t know if he did.. but for him to say he knows he did nothing is crazy to me after watching this doc. I mean he admits he was super drunk and that he did get angry enough to smash a bottle

[@ricknineg]

How about Christopher Walken ?

[@stacey-qo6bc]

Apparently from previous documentaries I've seen. There's a possibility Natalie was having an affair with Christopher Walken, or he was very attracted to her, one or the other. Pretty sure wagner found out, I bet he was arguing with Natalie, they were both drunk, she may have fell and I don't think he did anything to help. She was afraid of dark water from a very young age, Natalie's mum was once told by a gypsy that her daughter needs to stay away from dark water, it was a warning. And looked what happened, crazy.

[@RYU-nc6xx]

From what I heard , walken was just chillin and is the least likely suspect and he was like high and drunk , I think the only thing I could accuse him of is that he made the others get really drunk with him because he was quite a drinker. He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time

[@amrose4214]

Hmm so he kind of admits that he got angry by smashing the wine bottle on the table so it ties into Daverns account. He got angry at Walken for interfering. But still plays evasive, like he can not remember the rest of evening either he does even or could have had blackout moment from the booze and may not recall all his actions those final moments or he really believes it was an accident in his mind over a fight that got out of hand. a Natashas face is a bit like 😮. But she loves him as her 2nd Dad so she not gonna be neutral enough. He knows the law kind of closing ranks around him but well if he refuses to talk to cops and has an attorney. But so many years have passed he 91.

[@joanellis9475]

On Dr. Phil Show ......"Witness Claims Wagner Said ‘We Have To Get Our Stories Straight About The Night Natalie Drowned ". Dennis Davern claims . Davern who was hired as the Splendour's Captain said Wagner provided lawyers for all 3 of them and Wagner even got Davern a role on Hart to Hart TV show and got him into the Screen Actors Guild. He also had Davern living in his main house where Davern says he felt like a prisoner.

This is RJ's best acting performance

[@annajacob7981]

@Rampage Clover "Best" is subjective. But it speaks to the crappy performances in everything else he performed in. He was out of his league with Natalie. She outshone him in both star and earnings power. Hence, imho, his desire to remove her threat to his reputation (he's bisexual), ego, career, and (after the murder) his personal, newly inherited wealth.

[@rampageclover9788]

​@@annajacob7981 there was definitely jealousy involved...as handsome as RJ is, I've seen actors perform in local theatre who would run circles around him...he's that wooden...Natalie is in the history books, West Side Story, Rebel Without A Cause, Love with the Proper Stranger, Splendor In The Grass....she's one of the greatest film actresses of our time....the men who shared the screen with her...i.e. James Dean, Warren Beatty (who RJ admitted to almost murdering) and Steve McQueen....RJ is a laughing stock compared to those guys....unlike them, he got his foot in the door by sucking up to movie stars on golf courses and offering to be their caddy...he proudly boasts about how he would carry around Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable's golf clubs in the hope that they'd put a good word in for him even though he'd never acted a day in his life...how low is that? he didn't pay proper dues like Paul Newman, Marlon Brando or Spencer Tracey and actually develop his craft...he has a massive inferiority complex because he's a fraud...he's not an actor in the true sense of the word and he knows it...RJ couldn't handle his wife being a bonafide legend of the silver screen while he was at best a supporting player in forgettable movies...only started to "come into his own" after Natalie was out of the picture, didn't have to worry about anyone stealing his thunder....he's one dimensional and an extremely boring person to listen to in interviews, not naturally charismatic and not intelligent...a very empty human being

@@rampageclover9788 I agree 100 percent with all you wrote here. It's amazing that Natalie would fall for him. I know she suffered emotional abuse as a child. Was she sexually abused too?

The first time I finally got to delve into this story I felt he did it my spirit is never wrong I believe he was intoxicated got upset of Natalie's flirting. Not only that they had a past where they divorced and she was with Warren and a string of other relationships it took him a while to move on with another woman her career was booming his was flop at the moment he had built up anger from then which made it easy to kill her I don't feel his intentions was to kill her it was an accident and he covered it up....simple people think 🧐

[@lorimiller4301]

You do know that the first divorce was because she caught him with the butler and couldn't handle it. She thought it was a one time thing but catching him once again was too much. She probably got so mad that she made a fatal mistake and said she was going to tell. Maybe that's why she was trying to get in the dingy ? Either way she had had enough and wanted out and Robert couldn't take the chance that people would understand. It was the early 80s. Plus he adored Stefanie and Bill had just died two weeks previous. It probably made sense in his drunken mind that Natalie had to go. He is a typical Narcissist. The whole thing is very sad for Lana and the Girls and the Captain as well.

[@gaelswed]

he was caught with the buttler a decade previous.. it is feasible that she liked the idea of wagner being jealous of walken and then BIZZARELY she finds the two of them together.. the poor woman's universe would have emploded there and then.numerous scenarios could have played out after that but none made easier by wagner and walken's almost total silence thereafter.
