Natalie Wood’s Mysterious Demise Unveiled in Revealing New Book

Back in 1981, the iconic Hollywood star Natalie Wood vanished from the yacht she shared with her spouse, Robert Wagner.

She was later discovered approximately six hours afterwards, found floating lifeless in the Pacific Ocean.

Fast forward to the year 2000, Sam Kashner revisited this tragic incident for Vanity Fair, shedding light on the uncertainties that have fueled years of speculation regarding whether Wood's drowning was truly accidental.

Subsequently, Suzanne Finstad unveiled “Natasha,” an authoritative biography of Wood in 2001, further illuminating the circumstances surrounding the night of Wood's demise.

In 2011, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department initiated a fresh investigation into Wood's untimely death.

Nearly two decades later, Finstad is reintroducing her book as “Natalie Wood: The Complete Biography,” a more extensive edition that incorporates new revelations Finstad has gathered about Wood's passing since the initial publication of her book.

These fresh insights, as per the author, undeniably suggest that Wood's drowning was not a mere coincidence.

Here, the author discloses her most astonishing discoveries and delves into why she now firmly believes that Wagner had a hand in the tragic incident leading to Natalie Wood's death.

During the completion of the final chapters of “Natasha” (the original title of the book), twenty years after Natalie Wood's demise, a sense of urgency gripped me to bring the pages to print.

For over four years, I held Natalie Wood's deepest secrets—her profound fears, haunting superstitions, and painful episodes from her past that remained largely unknown.

Natalie guarded her history of trauma closely, only revealing glimpses through her fragile demeanor and wise, soulful eyes.

Peering into Natalie's past, I unearthed her inner demons and their roots, unveiling a tale akin to a genie escaping its confinement.

From familial turmoil to an alcoholic father, an unhealthy bond with her controlling stage mother, childhood stardom marred by psychological abuse, and a plethora of paranoias and phobias, Natalie's life was a tapestry of torment.

The most concealed secret in her closet was the distressing end of her first marriage to Robert Wagner, obscured to protect Wagner's reputation.

The aftermath of enduring psychological scars and mistreatment led Natalie to grapple with multiple suicide attempts, routine therapy sessions, and an intense fear of solitude, rooted in a prophecy foretold by a Gypsy to her superstitious mother—that she would meet her end in dark waters.

Uncovering the official records of Natalie Wood's homicide investigation, I stumbled upon pivotal clues that challenged the notion of her drowning being accidental.

The revelation of scant investigative efforts post her demise underscored the negligence surrounding the case.

Growing up, Natalie imbibed the virtue of silence and compliance, a trait instilled by her mother.

This demeanor persisted throughout her life—a shield to safeguard others, even at the expense of her own well-being.

Amidst the trove of concealed truths about Natalie Wood, the most startling revelation pertains to Robert Wagner's involvement in her drowning.

Despite being Natalie's husband, Wagner exhibited a callous response when she disappeared from their vessel near Catalina Island, neglecting to initiate a search for an extensive period.

The account of Natalie Wood's tragic end continues to unravel, painting a harrowing portrait of a beloved actress ensnared in a web of secrecy and betrayal.

Through meticulous scrutiny of her life and demise, the truth emerges, challenging long-held assumptions and casting a shadow of doubt over the events surrounding her untimely passing.
