A Tribute to Natalie Wood

9 comments:

  1. This is a beautiful tribute. The scenes chosen show Natalie's many styles and personal beauty throughout her career, the song is a softer version of the original that matches the scenes perfectly (and that takes work, to match the lyrics with the actions) and I really appreciate you letting me know about this video. I can't believe I hadn't already seen it. Natalie was a remarkable actress, and just as special a person.

    Someone mentioned a biography in another comment at a previous post. I don't think the true bio on Natalie has been accomplished yet, either.

  2. Maybe you should do it, Marti. Have you given that any thought?

  3. Yes, kudos to the poster that put this together. It takes talent to pick the right images and put them together so seamlessly. The images with Walken were disturbing for me, because I can't separate my feelings about him from his film persona. I have to say the last image of Natalie in the water was chilling. It really jolted me out of the video. I'm assuming that was the intention. Beautiful work.

  4. If you ever write a biography on Natalie, or whoever might take it on, I hope it will be a deep psychological study of the sociopathic husband she took up home with twice.
    She caught him with another man in marriage number one and left him for it. The breakup was sudden and fast and no one could explain it because Natalie was decent enough to hide it. She even took the heat when everyone blamed her and that's where the story of chasing Beatty with a gun comes from. The bastard husband still wants us to believe it was the Beatty and Wood affair that wrecked his happy home. It was him on the couch with another guy that wrecked it.
    Natalie was mature enough to wipe the slate clean when they remarried many years later, but he still resented her career. How dare she intend to work on location? He was a big TV star, wasn't he? Why did she have to overshadow him again? She was always his ticket but his thorn as well. He showed her. Drown, Bitch, drown. I'll make sure you do.
    That's who this lovely woman married twice. It's not her fault. She had no way of knowing because that's what sociopathic personalities are best at. It's obvious that's what they are best at because the bastard still has fans and an entire network of media that won't bring in the jury.
    You know why Wagner runs free? The media.

  5. I try not to be as harsh when I explain that I feel the same way you do but maybe I'm starting to agree more with a protest type atmosphere. What is the problem with the media? When you think about it, the old Vanity Fair article should have received more attention than it did. Suzanne Finstad called the man out, but he was still allowed to hide behind the opening. You would think GNGS was a gift but maybe it's good enough that we now all know. Truth doesn't need grandstanding, scandal and sensationalism needs it. We're better off. I think GNGS is totally regarded, albeit no media source wants to come under fire.

  6. Maybe Marti's friend Kathleen is planning to write one. Marti said she had gathered a lot of information about Natalie. Why go to all of that trouble and then not do anything with it? This story isn't going to go away whether the media embraces it or not. I hope Wagner sticks around long enough to experience the full exposure he has long feared. He has benefitted from fame he didn't deserve and now needs to receive the infamy he does.

  8. Kathleen did tremendous research on Natalie's death and what she wrote was all based on fact but presented in a fiction format. No one will have to wonder if it's Natalie... her book is about four dead wives killed by their husbands, told from the wives' perspective. It's awesome.
