Marti Rulli, Author: Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour (Natalie Wood)

Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour is the poignant story of a young, cavalier adventurer, Dennis Davern, who landed the position of Splendour Captain and how the Wagner family welcomed him into their hearts and home. Natalie’s death in 1981 sent shock waves throughout the world and remained an enduring mystery. Dennis reached out to me, his friend, and my mission to substantiate Dennis's account led me on a personal quest for truth that spanned decades. Many of the lingering questions are solved.

That's a very interesting article, with some great photos. I like that Ron Nelson hasn't changed much about the boat, out of respect to Natalie.

I find it curious that photos suddenly pop up, supposedly taken just "two weeks before the tragedy." The one of Natalie and Wagner here is a good example. That photo was taken in 1976 or 1977. I've seen this photo elsewhere incorrectly dated. There are a few others of Natalie on the boat, docked on Catalina, claiming the same thing.

BTW, I love that photo of Natalie. She looks a little different in it somehow--but always beautiful, of course.
