Natalie Wood case re-opened


Weren't they talking about re-opening the investigation of Natalie Wood's death a few years ago? My memory is that one of the witnesses "remembered" new details while under hypnosis. If this is correct, their testimony is now inadmissible. Memories that come up through hypnosis tend to be unreliable, but the hypnotized witness is more convinced they're true.

Now they're reporting that Wood's husband, 87-year-old Robert Wagner, is a "person of interest" in her death because someone said they were arguing the night she died. They were both drinking heavily that night as was Christopher Walken who was there with them. A drunk falling off a boat and drowning doesn't seem like much of a mystery and I can't imagine anything coming of this now.

Wagner has always been very well-liked in Hollywood if that makes a difference.

When she died in 1981, I had only a vague idea who Natalie Wood was. I wouldn't have recognized her. I knew a guy who worked as a busboy in Lake Tahoe and spilled coffee on her.

I wonder if there was any truth to the rumor that Kirk Douglas raped her when she was sixteen. He's 101-years-old. If he did it, you could beat the crap out of him pretty easily, but if he didn't do it you'd be a monster for even thinking about it.
