Natalie Wood Through Time
Thank you to Pam for emailing this amazing video of Natalie Wood
morphing through time. She grew more gorgeous with every "morph"
as she aged. Truly, a legend in her own time and beyond.

I've watched this about a dozen times now. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so happy you posted this, it is so amazing to see her grow up and yes she did get more beautiful as she aged, I for one have never seen a more beautiful women. By the way I have a nieces name Natalie would was named after Natalie that you would think she was Natalie's child. I will send you some pictures of her it is amazing. Thank you Marti for posting this. Pam
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Pam. I would love for you to email pics of your niece. My niece, who is grown now, named Lee, always reminded of Natalie when she was a toddler, with her cute little nose, especially. As she grew, she lost the Natalie resemblence, but remained beautiful. I haven't seen her in ages. She's my twin brother's daughter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The little girl was always there shining through.
ReplyDeleteA face for the ages. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteShe could not have possibly been prettier than she was. Those eyes, that smile!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to like this but it seriously creeped me out. I'm sure it took great talent and much time to produce. I appreciate that ascpect of it.
ReplyDeletemorph-type videos can be creepy.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I Love seeing her change over time. Her face got warmer looking as she aged.
ReplyDeleteHow could any image of Natalie creep a person out? I like seeing the GNGS cover part of one of the transitions.
ReplyDeleteThe part that was particularly creepy for me was how the eyes tracked across the page at times. I found that disturbing. It also creeped me out when 'they' had Christopher Reeves stand up and walk across the stage (CGI)years after he was paralyzed. I guess I just don't like it when someone manipulates images to do certain things. Don't hate me for it, it wasn't an attack on anyone.
ReplyDeleteI don't find it "creepy" at all. It is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWho is this person that keeps calling a few of the videos creepy? This person is creeping me out.
They're here!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit it was creepy to me too when Christopher Reeves "walked" but mostly because I think we all knew he was paralyzed for life, but his courage and his will to walk made me realize I shouldn't feel creeped out. In this video, Natalie is smiling in most morphs and that made it okay for me, but I know what the person creeped out a little is saying. I'm sure he or she meant nothing more than the eeriness of some "creations".
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't have been creeped out by Reeves walking but I was. It's like being in the presence of a blind person. You wonder if they know if you're looking at them or not while you're talking to them (they do!). I was fortunate to have a blind friend for many years who (because he taught me so much) who used to say, "Look at me when I'm talking to you." lol ... he amazed me.
Manipulating footage and photographs is so popular these days that I'm regretting I haven't yet taken the time to learn to do it. I always say I'm too busy on the computer to learn the computer. There's even a TV commercial where they show how you can replace faces in family photographs, quick as 1-2-3. We're all learning how to not be so creeped out as each day takes us further into our technical world.
Well said Marti, and yes, I'm the guy who was creeped out by this morph video but I am not the person who got creeped out by Erics video. In fact I quite liked Eric's video as it portrayed a common, normal, unpolished, regular guy making a point to ask for some basic answers to some basic questions. As for the creepiness factor of the morph vid? Well, that's just my take on it. I guess to quell any crazy cross talk here I need to point out that I believe Wagner killed Natalie and that my critique of any Natlie Wood artifact will never change that.
ReplyDeleteI'm the poster who said "a face for the ages" and I understand what the person was talking about. As much as I enjoyed the video, I also found the tracking of the eyes odd. Please don't give the whiner who says no one can disagree here any ammunition. It's a simple difference of opinion. I'm not sure if "they're here" yet, but until a clear agenda appears let's all relax. This was not one of those times.
ReplyDeleteI think the person was talking about the "Eric" video as well. A poster said that was "creepy' too.
ReplyDeleteSo? I was the first poster on the Eric video. I told Marti he seemed odd to me and I didn't think he was a very vibrant advocate for this case. Frankly, I think he made an intriguing case mindnumbing and boring. Just my opinion. No one else agreed with me and that's fine. It doesn't reflect on my opinions about the case nor does it illuminate my ability to smell out a pro-Wagner post in 6 syllables. PLEASE do not give Marti any reason to think that the cryptic, whiny, never goes away poster is on to something here. We can and we will disagree. Agendas, lies and half-truths is where we all need to come together and make sure those posts don't stand. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWe're talking about the word "creepy" specifically. It's no big deal. If someone wants to whine about it I have no problem.
ReplyDeleteIt was rude to call the guy creepy.
ReplyDeleteIt is rude but I've called Wagner much worse. I have to say my pro-Wagner attennae are starting to vibrate. This is a non-issue that should have been laid to rest already. It reminds me of the forum where things are said just to keep the conversation going or start an argument. That doesn't fly here.
ReplyDeleteThen why are you continually trying to find a "pro-Wagner" infiltrator? It's worth noting that the owner of this blog is a grown up and able to make their own assesment of what gets posted around here. But it's YOU Anon 7:15 that always seems to want to derail the procedings into some sort of witch hunt of Wagner fans. I I wish you'd knock it off already.
ReplyDeleteI'm talking about calling the guy Eric creepy was rude.
ReplyDeleteI never try to out anyone until they are so obnoxious I can't stand it anymore. I've never derailed any proceedings nor have I been on a witch hunt. You haven't got a clue who I am. My posts are always cohesive and on point. I recognize your misspellings and your "voice" very clearly. I will say no more as again we have all pledged peace here. However, I will apologize to the person who said "they're here". Good call.
ReplyDeleteIt's never your place to "out" anyone. EVER! And true we don't have a clue as to who you are as you post anonymously. But by saying that it seems like you want us all to think you're some kind of big shot or confidant to the author. I would expect anyone in that position to be far more savvy about what they expose of themselves on these forums. Perhaps you're just a little full of yourself and it's you who does not realize just who you are up against....ever think about that?
ReplyDeleteOk, just one more post to prove my point. I do not post at the forum but I am guilty of reading it. You are a constant presence there. Only you could make the leap that I insinuated I was a big shot or am a confidant of the author. Please point out that passage. You have used this baloney on many people before as if your lame offense can truly serve as a defense for you. I don't realize who I am up against? Aw, your threat trademark. I haven't seen it for awhile. You are the "confidentiality agreement" poster and the author of so much other nonsense it can't be listed at this "fine" blog. Other people will recognize your hyperbole. I apologize to Ms. Rulli for speaking again and dragging this out, but I don't want you to ever think you are fooling anyone whether I call you on it or remain silent. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteNatalie, a creature of pure beauty with a kind and loving soul to match, who was never rude, hostile or condescending to anyone; this blog is about Natalie.
ReplyDeleteTo Anon 9:06 You are an absolute trainwreck. In one post you want to be a bigshot "You have no Idea who I am" As if we're to be impressed or intimidated by that statement. But then you hide behind the veil of anonimity. You poke your head out, take a few pot shots and go back under the covers. Add to that your super human ability to identify other posters by the way they mispell words and what we have here is a true blog SuperHero capable of unmasking RJ loving villains with a single post. You're a genuine piece of work. Too bad we "have no idea who you are" And yeah, you have a nice day too.
ReplyDeleteGeez, the word creepy really got creepy. Okay, what we all want to avoid here is creating the kind of scenes that go on at the forum. This truly is a non-issue.
ReplyDeleteI can clearly see how some people are uneasy with this morph video as well as Eric's monotone presentation, but others will find this morph video beautiful and Eric a concerned citizen. We can leave it at that, and no one ever acts like a bigshot here and I so appreciate that, but as always, I really like when we all stick to facts and yes, stick together.
This is a place for people with the same mission in mind, so if your agenda is otherwise, there's a vast cyber world out there where you can create your own forum, blog, website, chatroom, whatever you want, and you can talk with people you are comfortable with.
Sorry, I guess things got a little out of control. I apologize for the stink this all caused.
ReplyDeletePeace.
Marti,
ReplyDeleteThe coolest thing about you is that you never act like a big shot either. We've been called names for following your blog, for believing in GNGS, and you've been called nasty names over at the forum (I think of it as around the corner where the bad guys wait on corners. LOL) You never treat any of us as followers but as friends and it doesn't go unnoticed. You give everyone a fair shake and it's clear you are kind to people, even those who might have abused you in the past. At IMDB, someone rdidculed you for putting someone in their place when they insisted Dennis Davern is an alcoholic, a bum still living off sensationalizing what he witnessed. Your post is still here and it was clear you were only warning the person about what is libel and what is not. Someone there posted an explanation to that person describing the difference between being drunk and being a drunk. People who are Wagner appear to be pinching you while hugging you. Before I am accused of being someone I'm not, let me make it clear (at least to you) that this is your longtime friend, LDe. I've posted in your defense hundreds of times because you really are a rock for me. You give this entire tragedy direction, and most of all, you follow with us, not against us or ahead of us. I'm proud of you every time I read your blog. You've got something inherent in your words ... it's called class.
people who are Wgner fans is what I meant, sorry, too but needed to say this.
ReplyDeleteOk I'm so confused over who is who with these ANONYMOUS. I can't tell who's saying what to whom. Why don't all these Anonymous have a sign on name even if it's not their real names. Mine is 4aussie/Pam and let me tell you, you can type in 4aussie and you will find me on the internet I'm not hiding.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have said that. The video Marti posted was because I asked her too. I found it to be very beautiful done of a very beautiful women who is missed by many, I don't find it in anyway creepy or weird, like my Mom use to say to me," if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all". Thanks all. Pam
Anon 11:20: no need to apologize for anything. I understand.
ReplyDeleteLDe: thanks for all you said. I've always felt we're all in this together: I couldn't bear it alone.
Pam, many like to remain anonymous, but I agree: signing in anonymously but using even fake initials would help distinguish who's who, especially for new posters. Occasionally we hit a bump here, but it usually works itself out. The topic of Natalie's death can really get controversial and there seems to be "sides" to the controversy, and then there are those in the middle. There has been fan group betrayals, bickering, debating, identities abused, you name it...this topic draws it all.
As I appreciate you and so many others being able to see a fact for a fact, I've gotten used to the anonymous "styles" -- but I know it's difficult for new people.
