Mar 8 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Natalie Wood was a well-loved and beautiful actress who first appeared on the screen as a child in the movie, “Miracle on 34th Street.” She also starred with such leading men as James Dean, in Rebel Without a Cause, which she won an Oscar for, and Warren Beatty in Splendor in the Grass, which she also won an Oscar for. She also had a starring role in West Side Story.

In a television interview, Natalie revealed to the world that her worst fear was of dark seawater. In November 1981, in a tragic twist of irony, she drowned in the Pacific Ocean off the Coast of California’s Catalina Island. Her death still remains one of Hollywood’s mysteries. The death was ruled to be an accident by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, and the sheriff has closed the case, but some people say that they story just doesn’t add up.

Now Natalie’s sister, as well as the yacht owner, is asking the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office to re open the case. There has been no response as of yet. Although Lana Wood does not suspect foul play, she said she does feel that a heated argument between Natalie’s husband Robert Wagner and Natalie led up to her death. “I just want the truth to come out, the real story,” she said.

The yacht captain, Dennis Davern also believes that the fight led up to the tragedy. He has broken his long silence about that night, and published a book, “Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendor,” which was published in September. Although no one is accusing Robert Wagner of killing Natalie, they feel that parts of his story don’t add up. Lana even said that she does not feel that he ever got over Natalie’s death, “she was the love of his life,” she added.
