Natalie Wood

Natalie Wood was a Hollywood child star – with a literal stage mom – and grew up within the system, she became one of the faces of Hollywood’s depiction of the troubled youth, became immortal as Maria in West Side Story and eventually graduated to more dramatic and mature roles. In the mid 1960s she was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood – right along with Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn. Her untimely death is still a mystery that will probably never get solved.

This episode shines a light on eternally graceful Natalie Wood – child star, teenage actress, bonafide Hollywood star, unpretentious style icon. I will cover her rise to stardom, her shifting image, her hiatus from Hollywood and her new-found success as a dramatic actress just as much as her private life, her three marriages, kids – and her death. Her case is still open and poses questions until this very day.
