Natalie Wood Death Dingy

( Associated Press )
The inflatable dinghy used by 34-year-old actress Natalie Wood, sits moored after it washed up on the rocks on Catalina Island on Nov. 30, 1981. Patrolmen discovered the actress' body 200 yards off Blue Cavern Point on Catalina Island, 100 yards away from the yacht Splendour, after a seven-hour search.

I fell in love with Natalie Wood after seeing her in 1963's Love with the Proper Stranger, costarring Steve McQueen.  Aside from the tasteless jokes (it's American to joke about tragedies - shhhhhh), I remember rumors that she was involved in a 3-way with husband Robert Wagner (of whom I knew nothing) and Christopher Walken (of whom I knew even less).  Why is this being reopened?  Well, it's Hollywood; this is the 30th anniversary; so do the math.  Damn she was pretty;  looked very much like my future bride. Hmmmm.

The Natalie Wood swimming acadamy is next door to the Joan Crawford daycare center and across the street from the William Holden bar and grille.

The jokes were hilarious. Ted Kennedy at Catalina Island -or- wherever young women are drown, genius. :) Thanks for the grin'n1

This Property is Condemmed - She never looked better than that.

I always thought that the yuppie killed her, and Wm Holden's yuppette killed him.
