Natalie Wood (née
Zacharenko; July 20, 1938 – November 29, 1981) was an American actress who
began her career in film as a child and successfully transitioned to young
adult roles.
Wood started acting at age four and was given a co-starring
role at age 8 in Miracle on 34th Street (1947). As a teenager, she was
nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance
in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), followed by a role in John Ford's The
Searchers (1956). Wood starred in the musical films West Side Story (1961) and
Gypsy (1962) and received nominations for an Academy Award for Best Actress for
her performances in Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love with the Proper
Stranger (1963). Her career continued with films such as Sex and the Single
Girl (1964), Inside Daisy Clover (1965), and Bob & Carol & Ted &
Alice (1969).
During the 1970s, Wood began a hiatus from film and had two
daughters: one with her second husband Richard Gregson, and one with Robert
Wagner, her first husband whom she married again after divorcing Gregson. She
acted in only two feature films throughout the decade, but she appeared
slightly more often in television productions, including a remake of From Here
to Eternity (1979) for which she won a Golden Globe Award. Wood's films
represented a "coming of age"
for her and for Hollywood films in general. Critics have suggested that her
cinematic career represents a portrait of modern American womanhood in
transition, as she was one of the few to take both child roles and those of
middle-aged characters.
On November 29, 1981, at the age of 43, Wood drowned in the
Pacific Ocean near Santa Catalina Island during a break from production of her
would-be comeback film Brainstorm (1983). She was with her husband Wagner and
Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken. The events surrounding her death have
been the subject of conflicting witness statements, prompting the Los Angeles
County Sheriff's Department, under the instruction of the coroner's office, to
list her cause of death as "drowning
and other undetermined factors" in 2012. In 2018, Wagner was named as
a person of interest in the ongoing investigation into her death.
Early life
Wood was born Natalie Zacharenko in San Francisco,
California, on July 20, 1938, the daughter of Russian parents Maria Zudilova
(1908–1998) and Nicholas Zacharenko (1912–1980). Her mother (who also used the
names Mary, Marie, and Musia) was from Barnaul. Wood's maternal grandfather
owned soap and candle factories, as well as an estate outside Barnaul. With the
start of the Russian Civil War, his family fled Russia for China, settling as refugees
in Harbin. Her mother was previously married to Armenian mechanic Alexander Tatuloff
from 1925 to 1936. They had a daughter named Olga (1928–2015) and moved to the
U.S. by ship in 1930 before divorcing six years later.
Wood's father was a carpenter from Ussuriysk. Her paternal
grandfather, a chocolate factory employee who joined the anti-Bolshevik civilian
forces during the war, was killed in a street fight between the Red Army and
White Russian soldiers in Vladivostok. After that, his widow and three sons
fled to Shanghai, subsequently relocating to Vancouver at the time of Wood's
paternal grandmother's remarriage in 1927. By 1933, they moved to the US. Her
parents met while her mother was still married to Tatuloff. They were married
in February 1938, five months before Wood was born. In 1942, they bought a home
in Santa Rosa, where Wood was noticed by members of a crew during a film shoot
downtown. After she started acting as a child, RKO executives David Lewis and
William Goetz changed her surname to "Wood"
to make it more appealing to English-speaking audiences and as a tribute to
filmmaker Sam Wood. Her only full sibling, sister Svetlana, was born in Santa
Monica in 1946 and later also became an actress under the name Lana Wood.
Child actress
Early roles
A few weeks before her fifth birthday, Wood made her uncredited
film debut in a fifteen-second scene in the film Happy Land (1943). Despite the
brief part, she attracted the notice of the director, Irving Pichel. He
remained in contact with Wood's family for two years, advising them when
another role came up. The director telephoned Wood's mother and asked her to
bring her daughter to Los Angeles for a screen test. Wood's mother became so
excited that she "packed the whole
family off to Los Angeles to live," writes Harris. Wood's father
opposed the idea, but his wife's "overpowering
ambition to make Natalie a star" took priority. According to Wood's
younger sister Lana, Pichel "discovered
her and wanted to adopt her."
Wood, then seven years old, got the part. She played a
post-World War II German orphan, opposite Orson Welles as Wood's guardian and
Claudette Colbert, in Tomorrow Is Forever (1946). When Wood was unable to cry
on cue, her mother tore a butterfly to pieces in front of her to ensure she
would sob for a scene. Welles later said that Wood was a born professional, "so good, she was terrifying.”
Wood acted in another film directed by Pichel, The Bride
Wore Boots, and went on to 20th Century Fox to play Gene Tierney's daughter in
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947).
Miracle on 34th
Street
Wood's best-known film as a child was Miracle on 34th Street
(1947), starring Maureen O'Hara at Fox. She plays a cynical girl who comes to
believe a kindly department store holiday season employee portrayed by Edmund
Gwenn is the real Santa Claus. The film has become a Christmas classic; Wood
was counted among the top child stars in Hollywood after the film and was so
popular that Macy's invited her to appear in the store's annual Thanksgiving
Day parade.
Film historian John C. Tibbetts wrote that for the next few
years following her success in Miracle, Wood played roles as a daughter in a
series of family films: Driftwood (1947), at Republic; Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (1948);
Chicken Every Sunday (1949); The Green Promise (1949); Fred MacMurray's
daughter in Father Was a Fullback (1949), with O'Hara; Margaret Sullavan's
daughter in No Sad Songs for Me (1950); the youngest sister in Our Very Own
(1950); Never a Dull Moment (1950); James Stewart's daughter in The Jackpot
(1950); Dear Brat (1951); Joan Blondell's neglected daughter in The Blue Veil
(1951); The Rose Bowl Story (1952); and Just for You (1952); the daughter of
Bette Davis' character in The Star (1952); . In all, Wood appeared in over
twenty films as a child. She also appeared on television in episodes of Kraft
Theatre and Chevron Theatre,
Because Wood was a minor during her early years as an
actress, she received her primary education on the studio lots wherever she was
contracted. California law required that until age 18, child actors had to
spend at least three hours per day in the classroom, notes Harris. "She was a straight A student",
and one of the few child actors to excel at arithmetic. Director Joseph L.
Mankiewicz, who directed her in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), said that, "In all my years in the business, I never
met a smarter moppet." Wood remembered that period in her life,
saying, "I always felt guilty when I
knew the crew was sitting around waiting for me to finish my three hours. As
soon as the teacher let us go, I ran to the set as fast as I could."
Wood's mother continued to play a significant role in her
daughter's early career, coaching her and micromanaging aspects of her career
even after Wood acquired agents. As a child actress, Wood received significant
media attention. By age nine, she had been named the "most exciting juvenile motion picture star of the year"
by Parents magazine.
Teen stardom
In the 1953–54 television season, Wood played Ann Morrison,
the teenage daughter in The Pride of the Family, an ABC situation comedy. She
appeared as a teenager on episodes of The Pepsi-Cola Playhouse, Public
Defender, Mayor of the Town, Four Star Playhouse, The Ford Television Theatre,
and General Electric Theater, and also appeared in a TV version of Heidi. She
described the GE Theater episode, "Carnival",
as one of the best things she ever did.
She had roles in the feature films The Silver Chalice and
One Desire (1955).
Rebel Without a Cause
Wood successfully made the transition from child star to
ingénue at age 16 when she co-starred with James Dean and Sal Mineo in Rebel
Without a Cause (1955), Nicholas Ray's film about teenage rebellion. Wood had
to sign to a long-term contract with Warner Bros. but she was nominated for an
Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She later said it was the first
script she read that she actually wanted to do as opposed to being told to do
by her parents; she also said her parents were opposed to her doing it. "Until then I did what I was
told," she said.
She continued to guest star on anthology TV shows like
Studio One in Hollywood, Camera Three, Kings Row, Studio 57, Warner Brothers
Presents, and The Kaiser Aluminum Hour.
She had a small but crucial role in John Ford's The
Searchers (1956) and was the female lead in A Cry in the Night (1956).
Tab Hunter and
Marjorie Morningstar
Wood graduated from Van Nuys High School in 1956. She signed
with Warner Brothers and was kept busy during the remainder of the decade in
many "girlfriend" roles, which
she found unsatisfying.
The studio cast her in two films opposite Tab Hunter, hoping
to turn the duo into a box-office draw that never materialized: The Burning
Hills (1956), a Western, and The Girl He Left Behind (1956). She guest starred
in episodes of Conflict.
Warner Bros. tried teaming her with Efrem Zimbalist Jr. in
Bombers B-52 (1957). Then she was given the lead in a prestigious project,
Marjorie Morningstar (1958). As Marjorie Morningstar, Wood played the role of a
young Jewish girl in New York City who has to deal with the social and
religious expectations of her family as she tries to forge her own path and
separate identity.
Adult career
Tibbetts observed that Wood's characters in Rebel,
Searchers, and Morningstar began to show her widening range of acting styles.
Her former "childlike
sweetness" was now being combined with a noticeable "restlessness that was characteristic
of the youth of the 1950s."
She was leading lady to Frank Sinatra in Kings Go Forth
(1958) then refused roles and was put on suspension by Warners. This lasted for
a year until February 1959. She returned to be leading lady to James Garner in
Cash McCall (1960). After Wood appeared in the box office flop All the Fine
Young Cannibals (1960), she lost momentum. Wood's career was in a transition
period, having until then consisted of roles as a child or as a teenager.
Splendor in the Grass
Biographer Suzanne Finstad wrote that a "turning point" in Wood's life as an actress took place
when she saw the film A Streetcar Named Desire (1951): "She was transformed, in awe of director Elia Kazan and of Vivien
Leigh's performance… became a role model for Natalie." "Her roles
raised the possibility that one's sensitivity could mark a person as a kind of
victim," noted Tibbetts.
After a "series
of bad films, her career was already in decline", according to author
Douglas Rathgeb. She was then cast in Kazan's Splendor in the Grass (1961) with
Warren Beatty. Kazan wrote in his 1997 memoir that the "sages" of the film community declared her "washed up" as an actress, but
he still wanted to interview her for his next film:
When I saw her, I
detected behind the well-mannered 'young wife' front a desperate twinkle in her
eyes… I talked with her more quietly then and more personally. I wanted to find
out what human material was there, what her inner life was… Then she told me
she was being psychoanalyzed. That did it. Poor R.J. [Wagner], I said to
myself. I liked Bob Wagner, I still do.
Kazan cast Wood as the female lead in Splendor, and her
career rebounded. He felt that despite her earlier innocent roles, she had the
talent and maturity to go beyond them. In the film, Beatty's character was
deprived of sexual love with Wood's character, and as a result turns to
another, "looser" girl.
Wood's character could not handle the sexuality and after a breakdown was
committed to a mental institution. Kazan writes that he cast her in the role
partly because he saw in Wood's personality a "true-blue quality with a wanton side that is held down by social
pressure," adding that "she
clings to things with her eyes," a quality he found especially "appealing.”
Finstad felt that although Wood had never trained in method
acting techniques, "working with
Kazan brought her to the greatest emotional heights of her career. The
experience was exhilarating, but wrenching for Natalie, who faced her demons on
Splendor." She adds that a scene in the film, as a result of
"Kazan's wizardry… produced a hysteria in Natalie that may be her most powerful
moment as an actress." Actor Gary Lockwood, who also performed in the
film, felt that "Kazan and Natalie
were a terrific marriage, because you had this beautiful girl, and you had
somebody that could get things out of her." Kazan's favorite scene in
the film was the last one, when Wood goes back to see her lost first love, Bud
(Beatty). "It's terribly touching to
me. I still like it when I see it," wrote Kazan.
For her performance in Splendor, Wood received nominations
for the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and BAFTA Award for Best Actress in
a Leading Role.
West Side Story
Wood played Maria, a restless Puerto Rican girl on the West
Side of Manhattan, in West Side Story, Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise's 1961
film of the stage musical, which was a critical and box-office success.
Tibbetts wrote of similarities in her role in this film and the earlier Rebel.
She was to represent the "restlessness
of American youth in the 1950s", expressed by youth gangs and juvenile
delinquency, along with early rock and roll. Both films, he observes, were "modern allegories based on the 'Romeo and
Juliet' theme, including private restlessness and public alienation. Where in
Rebel she falls in love with the character played by James Dean, whose
gang-like peers and violent temper alienated him from his family, in West Side
Story she enters into a romance with a white former gang member whose
threatening world of outcasts also alienated him from lawful behavior."
Although Wood's singing in the film was voiced by Marni
Nixon, West Side Story is still regarded as one of Wood's best films.
Peak years of stardom
Wood sang when she starred in the film Gypsy (1962) alongside
Rosalind Russell. Her appearance in that film led critic Pauline Kael to
comment "clever little Natalie Wood…
[the] most machine-tooled of Hollywood ingénues."
At the age of 25, Wood received her third Academy Award
nomination for Love with the Proper Stranger (1963), making Wood (along with
Teresa Wright) the youngest person to score three Oscar nominations. This
record was later broken by Jennifer Lawrence in 2013 and Saoirse Ronan in 2017,
both of whom scored their third nominations at the age of 23.
Wood made two comedies with Tony Curtis: Sex and the Single
Girl (1964) and The Great Race (1965), the latter with Jack Lemmon, and Peter
Falk. In The Great Race, her ability to speak Russian was an asset given to her
character Maggie DuBois, justifying the character's recording the progress of
the race across Siberia and entering the race at the beginning as a contestant.
Director Sydney Pollack was quoted as saying about Wood, "When she was right for the part, there
was no one better. She was a damn good actress." For Inside Daisy
Clover (1965) and This Property Is Condemned (1966), both of which co-starred
Robert Redford, Wood received Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress. After
the release of the films, Wood suffered emotionally and sought professional
therapy. She paid Warner Bros. $175,000 to cancel her contract and fired her
entire support team: agents, managers, publicist, accountant, and attorneys. In
the mid-1960s she was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood along with Elizabeth
Taylor and Audrey Hepburn.
Although many of Wood's films were commercially successful,
at times her acting was criticized. In 1966, Wood was given the Harvard Lampoon
award for being the "Worst Actress
of Last Year, This Year, and Next". She was the first person to attend
and accept the award in person. The Harvard Crimson wrote she was "quite a good sport".
Following a disappointing reception to Penelope (1966), Wood took a three-year
hiatus from acting. She was announced for I Never Promised You a Rose Garden
but did not appear in it.
Bob & Carol &
Ted & Alice and retirement
Wood co-starred with Dyan Cannon, Robert Culp and Elliott
Gould in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), a comedy about sexual
liberation. According to Tibbetts, this was the first film in which "the saving leavening of humor was
brought to bear upon the many painful dilemmas portrayed in her adult
films."
Wood did not capitalize on the success of Bob & Carol
& Ted & Alice. After becoming pregnant in 1970 with her first child,
Natasha Gregson, she went into semi-retirement and would act in only four more
theatrical films during the remainder of her life. She made a brief cameo
appearance as herself in The Candidate (1972), working once more with Robert
Redford.
Later career
Wood reunited on the screen with Robert Wagner in the
television film of the week The Affair (1973), and with Laurence Olivier and
Wagner in an adaptation of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1976) for the British series
Laurence Olivier Presents broadcast as a special by NBC.
In between these she made Peeper (1975) with Michael Caine.
She made cameo appearances on Wagner's prime-time detective
series Switch in 1978 as Bubble Bath Girl, and Hart to Hart in 1979 as Movie
Star.
After another lengthy break, she appeared in the ensemble
disaster film Meteor (1979) with Sean Connery and the sex comedy The Last
Married Couple in America (1980) with George Segal and Valerie Harper. Her
performance in the latter was praised and considered reminiscent of her
performance in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. In Last Married Couple,
Wood broke ground: although an actress with a clean, middle-class image, she
used the word “f***” in a frank
marital discussion with her husband (George Segal).
Television
In this period, Wood had more success in television,
receiving high ratings and critical acclaim in 1979 for The Cracker Factory and
especially the miniseries remake of From Here to Eternity (1979), with Kim
Basinger and William Devane. Wood's performance in the latter won her a Golden
Globe Award for Best Actress in 1980. She starred in The Memory of Eva Ryker,
released in May 1980, which proved to be her last completed production.
At the time of her death, Wood was filming the $15 million
science fiction film Brainstorm (1983), co-starring Christopher Walken and directed
by Douglas Trumbull.
She was scheduled to make her stage debut on February 12,
1982, in Anastasia at Ahmanson Theatre with Wendy Hiller. Wood had also
purchased film rights to the Barbara Wersba book, Country of the Heart, and was
planning to star with Timothy Hutton in the drama about the
professional-romantic relationship between a tough-minded poet and her much
younger student. (The material was eventually adapted into a 1990 television
film starring Jane Seymour.) She expected to follow her performance as
Anastasia on the stage with a starring stint in a film adaptation of the work.
The ending of Brainstorm had to be re-written and Wood's character written out
of at least three scenes, while a stand-in and sound-alikes were used to
replace Wood for some of her crucial shots. The film was released posthumously
on September 30, 1983, and was dedicated to Wood in the closing credits.
Wood appeared in 56 films for cinema and television. In one
of her last interviews before her death, she was defined as "our sexual conscience on the silver
screen". Following her death, Time magazine noted that although
critical praise for Wood had been sparse throughout her career, "she always had work".
Personal life
Relationships
Wood's two marriages to actor Robert Wagner were highly
publicized. They first married on December 28, 1957, in Scottsdale, Arizona,
when Wood was 19. On June 20, 1961, the couple announced their separation in a
joint press release, and divorced ten months later on April 27, 1962.
Following this starter marriage, Wood dated Warren Beatty,
Michael Caine and David Niven Jr. She also had a broken engagement in 1965 with
Venezuelan shoe manufacturer Ladislav Blatnik.
On May 30, 1969, Wood married British producer Richard
Gregson after dating for nearly three years. They had a daughter, Natasha (born
September 29, 1970). Wood filed for divorce from Gregson on August 4, 1971, and
it was finalized on April 12, 1972.
After a short-lived romance with future California governor
Jerry Brown, Wood resumed her relationship with Wagner at the end of January
1972. They remarried on July 16 aboard the Ramblin' Rose, anchored off Paradise
Cove in Malibu. Their daughter Courtney was born on March 9, 1974.
In 2013, former FBI agent Donald G. Wilson claimed that he
and Wood had had a four-year affair, from 1973 to 1977, that began when she was
pregnant with Courtney Wagner. In 2016, Wilson spoke on camera about his
alleged affair with Wood in a documentary for the cable network Reelz.
R*** allegation
Suzanne Finstad's 2001 biography of Wood alleges that she
was r***d by a powerful actor when she was 16, though Finstad did not name the
assailant. Through the recollection of Wood's close friends, which included
actors Scott Marlowe and Dennis Hopper, Finstad said:
Though her five close
friends' memories of some details or timing differ after forty-five years, the
essence of what each recalls Natalie confiding to them is the same: that the
same married film star lured or tricked Natalie, r***d her so brutally she was
physically injured, and she was too frightened or intimidated to report it to
the police. Natalie "hated" her former screen idol afterward,
"shuddering" if she heard his name. She would keep the horrible
secret, and behave as if nothing happened whenever their paths intersected, too
schooled by Mud [her mother] in the politics of Hollywood to cross a powerful movie
star.
During a 12-part podcast about Wood's life in July 2018,
Wood's sister Lana said that Wood was raped as a teenager, and that the attack
had occurred inside the Chateau Marmont during an audition and went on "for hours". According to Professor
Cynthia Lucia, who studied the claim, Wood's r*** was brutal and violent. In
2021, a year after the death of Kirk Douglas, Lana published the memoir Little
Sister: My Investigation Into the Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood and
identified Douglas as Wood's alleged assailant.
Death
On November 29, 1981, Wood died under mysterious
circumstances at age 43 during the making of Brainstorm. She had been on a
weekend boat trip to Santa Catalina Island on board her husband Robert Wagner's
58-foot (18 m) motoryacht Splendour. Other than the fact that she drowned, many
of the circumstances are unknown; for example, it has never been determined how
she entered the water. Wood was with Wagner, Brainstorm co-star Christopher
Walken, and Splendour's captain Dennis Davern on the evening of November 28.
Authorities recovered her body at 8 a.m. on November 29, one mile (1.6 km) away
from the boat, with a small Valiant-brand inflatable dinghy beached nearby.
Wagner said that she was not with him when he went to bed. The autopsy report
revealed that she had bruises on her body and arms, as well as an abrasion on
her left cheek, but no indication as to how or when the injuries occurred.
Davern had previously stated that Wood and Wagner argued
that evening, which Wagner denied at the time. In his memoir Pieces of My
Heart, Wagner admitted that he had an argument with Wood before she
disappeared. The autopsy found that Wood's blood alcohol content was 0.14% and
that there were traces of a motion-sickness pill and a painkiller in her
bloodstream, both of which increase the effects of alcohol. Los Angeles County
coroner Thomas Noguchi ruled the cause of her death to be accidental drowning
and hypothermia. According to Noguchi, Wood had been drinking and she may have
slipped while trying to re-board the dinghy. Her sister Lana expressed doubts,
alleging that Wood could not swim and had been "terrified" of water all her life, and that she would
never have left the yacht on her own by dinghy. Two witnesses who were on a
nearby boat stated that they had heard a woman scream for help during the
night.
Wood was buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery
in Los Angeles. Representatives of international media, photographers, and
members of the public tried to attend her funeral, but all were required to
remain outside the cemetery walls. Among the celebrities were Frank Sinatra,
Elizabeth Taylor, Fred Astaire, Rock Hudson, David Niven, Gregory Peck, Gene
Kelly, Elia Kazan, and Laurence Olivier. Olivier flew in from London in order
to attend the service.
The case was reopened in November 2011 after Davern publicly
stated that he had lied to police during the initial investigation and that
Wood and Wagner had an argument that evening. He alleged that Wood had been
flirting with Walken, that Wagner was jealous and enraged, and that Wagner had
prevented Davern from turning on the search lights and notifying authorities
after Wood's disappearance. Davern alleged that Wagner was responsible for her
death. Walken hired a lawyer, cooperated with the investigation, and was not
considered a suspect by authorities.
In 2012, Los Angeles County Chief Coroner Lakshmanan
Sathyavagiswaran amended Wood's death certificate and changed the cause of
death from accidental drowning to "drowning
and other undetermined factors". The amended document included a
statement that it is "not clearly
established" how Wood ended up in the water. Detectives instructed the
coroner's office not to discuss or comment on the case. On January 14, 2013,
the Los Angeles County coroner's office offered a 10-page addendum to Wood's
autopsy report. The addendum stated that Wood might have sustained some of the
bruises on her body before she went into the water, but that this could not be
definitively determined. Forensic pathologist Michael Hunter speculated that
Wood was particularly susceptible to bruising because she had taken the drug Synthroid.
In 2020, a medical doctor and former intern of Noguchi at the time of Wood's
death stated that the bruises were substantial and fitting for someone being
thrown out of a boat. He claimed that he made those observations to Noguchi.
In February 2018, Wagner was named a person of interest by
the police in the investigation. The police stated that they know that Wagner
was the last person to be with Wood before she disappeared. In a 2018 report,
the Los Angeles Times cited the coroner's report from 2013 saying that Wood had
unexplained fresh bruising on her right forearm, left wrist, and right knee, a
scratch on her neck, and a superficial scrape on her forehead. Officials said
that it is possible that she was assaulted before she drowned.
Portrayals in film
The 2004 TV film The Mystery of Natalie Wood chronicles
Wood's life and career. It was partly based on the biographies Natasha: the
Biography of Natalie Wood by Suzanne Finstad and Natalie & R.J. by Warren
G. Harris. Justine Waddell portrays Wood.
