In a startling revelation, Natalie Wood's sister claims that the long-standing Hollywood rumor about Kirk Douglas s**ually assaulting a teenage Natalie Wood in 1955 is indeed true.
Lana Wood makes this disturbing allegation in her recently published book, “Little Sister.”
Back in 1957, Natalie Wood graced the Academy Awards ceremony held in Los Angeles, showcasing her talent and beauty to the world.
However, behind the scenes, a dark incident was unfolding.
Recalling the fateful night, Lana Wood vividly describes dropping off her sister at the Chateau Marmont where the alleged assault took place.
Maria Zakharenko, their mother, arranged the meeting with the hope that it would open doors for Natalie in the industry, unaware of the harrowing events that would transpire.
As an 8-year-old, Lana sensed that something terrible had befallen her sister when she saw Natalie's distressed appearance upon her return from the encounter with Douglas.
Despite witnessing the aftermath, Lana was shielded from the details of the traumatic incident.
The age gap between Natalie Wood, just a teenager at the time, and Kirk Douglas, a renowned movie star, further emphasizes the imbalance of power in this distressing situation.
Despite the passage of time, the memories of that night continued to haunt both sisters.
Years later, Natalie confided in Lana about the assault but made her promise to never speak of it.
The burden of this secret weighed heavily on Lana until she decided to disclose the truth in her book, shedding light on the untold suffering her sister endured.
In addition to the assault revelation, Lana delves into the mysterious circumstances surrounding Natalie Wood's tragic death in 1981 off the coast of California, suggesting foul play and implicating Robert Wagner, Wood's husband, as a potential suspect.
The legacy of Kirk Douglas, known for his prolific acting career and enduring classics like “Spartacus” and “Gunfight at the O.K.
Corral,” is now tainted by these allegations.
His son, Michael Douglas, responded to the accusation by expressing condolences for both parties involved.
Lana Wood's brave decision to come forward with these revelations serves as a testament to seeking justice and closure for her beloved sister, Natalie.
As the shadows of the past are illuminated, the truth behind Hollywood's facade continues to unravel, revealing the complexities and dark realities that lurk beneath its glamorous exterior.
