Natalie Wood Death Case Reopened After 30 Years

The death of Natalie Wood is one of the biggest mysteries and has always been one of the greatest tragedies in Hollywood. She was born in San Francisco in 1938, to Russian immigrants Nikolai and Maria. Her real name was "Natalie Gurdin". At the age of 4 she appeared as an extra in her first movie Happy Land. She was nominated three times for an Oscar before she was 25 and starred in many Hollywood classics such as West Side Story and Rebel Without a Cause.

Natalie died at the age of 43 on November 29, 1981. The cause of death was officially ruled as an accidental drowning but there have always been questions surrounding Natalie's death. According to the official story, she and her husband Robert Wagner along with Christopher Walken, who was co-starring with Natalie in the film Brainstorm at the time were on a weekend retreat on Catalina Island when she accidentally fell off of her husband's yacht during the night of partying,

Now 30 years later, the case has been reopened. Apparently the Sheriff's Department was recently contacted by "persons who stated they had additional information about the Natalie Wood Wagner drowning". That is the only official word, but the captain of the ship Dennis Davern, came forward on, claiming he "did lie on a report several years ago," and that he believes Robert Wagner was responsible for Natalie's death.
