Natalie Wood (born Natalia Zacharenko;[2] Cyrillic: Наталья Николаевна Захаренко; July 20, 1938 – November 29, 1981) was an American actress.
Following her film debut at the age of five, Wood became a successful child actor in such films as Miracle on 34th Street (1947). A well received performance opposite James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe Award for Most Promising New Star, and helped her to make the transition from a child performer. She then starred in the musicals West Side Story (1961) and Gypsy (1962). By age 25, she was a three-time Academy Award nominee, after receiving nominations for Best Actress for her performances in Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love With the Proper Stranger (1963).
Her career continued successfully into the late 1960s with lead roles in films such as Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969); after this she worked less frequently so that she could start a family. She was married to actor Robert Wagner twice and had two daughters, Natasha Gregson and Courtney Wagner. Wood starred in several television productions, including a remake of the film From Here to Eternity (1979) for which she won a Golden Globe Award.
Her final film was the science fiction drama Brainstorm (1983) with Christopher Walken. She did not live to see it released. Wood was vacationing with Walken and Wagner, when she drowned near Santa Catalina Island, California in late 1981.
Child actor
Wood's parents, Maria Stepanova (née Zudilov) and Nikolai Zacharenko,[3] were Russian immigrants, but they grew up far from their homeland: her father lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, while her mother grew up in a Chinese province, Harbin.[4] Shortly after her birth in San Francisco, they moved north to Sonoma County and lived in Santa Rosa, California where Wood was noticed during a film shoot in downtown Santa Rosa. Her mother soon moved the family to Los Angeles and pursued a career for her daughter. By age four Natalia was being billed as Natasha Gurdin, Gurdin being the family's surname by this point. Like many parents of child actors her mother tightly managed and controlled the young girl's career and personal life. Her father has been described by Wood's biographers as a passive alcoholic. At the studio's suggestion, Natalia's name was changed to Natalie Wood during her period as a child actor for Warner Bros.
As a seven year old, Wood played a German orphan opposite Orson Welles and Claudette Colbert in Tomorrow Is Forever. Welles later said that Wood was a born professional, "so good, she was terrifying".[5] Her performance in the 1947 Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street made Wood one of the top child stars in Hollywood. She would appear in over 20 films as a child, appearing opposite such stars as Gene Tierney, James Stewart, Maureen O'Hara, Bette Davis and Bing Crosby. Her sister Svetlana Gurdin (better known as Lana Wood) also became an actress and later, notably, a Bond girl. They had a half-sister, Olga.
Adult career
Wood successfully made the transition from child star to ingenue at age 16 when she co-starred in Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean and Sal Mineo. Her performance won her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She followed this with a small but crucial role in John Ford's The Searchers which starred John Wayne and also featured Wood's sister, Lana, who played a younger version of her character in the film's earlier scenes. She graduated from Van Nuys High School in 1956.
Signed to Warner Brothers, Wood was kept busy during the remainder of the 1950s in many 'girlfriend' roles that 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 eventuated. Among the other films made at this time were Kings Go Forth with Frank Sinatra and the title role in Marjorie Morningstar.
After appearing in the box office flop, All the Fine Young Cannibals with her husband, Robert Wagner, Wood's career was salvaged by her casting in Elia Kazan's Splendor in the Grass (1961) opposite Warren Beatty, which earned Wood Best Actress Nominations at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and BAFTA Awards.
Also in 1961 Wood played Maria in the Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise musical West Side Story which was a major box office and critical success. She had been signed to do her own singing but was later dubbed by session singer Marni Nixon. Wood's own singing voice was used when she starred in the 1962 film Gypsy. She was dubbed by Jackie Ward in the slapstick comedy The Great Race (1965) co-starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Peter Falk. Wood received her third Academy Award nomination and another Golden Globe nod in 1964 for Love with the Proper Stranger opposite Steve McQueen.
Although many of Wood's films were commercially profitable, her acting was criticized at times. In 1966 she won the Harvard Lampoon Worst Actress of the Year Award. She was the first performer in the award's history to accept it in person and the Harvard Crimson wrote she was "quite a good sport."[6]
Other notable films she starred in were Inside Daisy Clover (1965) and This Property Is Condemned (1966), both of which co-starred Robert Redford and brought subsequent Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress. In 1969, Wood also starred as a swinger in a film about sexual liberation, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. After this, however, she worked less in order to give her time to settle down and start a family. She would act only occasionally for most of the 1970s. She appeared as herself in The Candidate (1972), reuniting her for a third time with Robert Redford. She also reunited on the screen with husband Robert Wagner in The Affair (1973), a made-for-television remake of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1976) and in the pilot episode of his TV show, Hart to Hart (1979). She would later begin to work more frequently as her daughters reached school age.
Between 1967 and 1980, Wood turned down roles that went to Faye Dunaway in Bonnie & Clyde, Ali MacGraw in Goodbye, Columbus, Mia Farrow in The Great Gatsby and Kim Novak in The Mirror Crack'd among others. Instead, Wood chose to star in misfires like the disaster film Meteor (1979) with Sean Connery and the comedy The Last Married Couple in America (1980). She found more success in television, receiving high ratings and critical acclaim in 1979 for The Cracker Factory and especially the miniseries film From Here to Eternity with Kim Basinger and William Devane. Wood's performance in the latter won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 1980. Later that year, she starred in The Memory of Eva Ryker which proved to be her last completed production.
At the time of her death, Wood was filming the sci-fi film Brainstorm (1983) with Christopher Walken. She was also scheduled to star in a theatrical production of Anastasia and in a film called Country of the Heart with Timothy Hutton. Due to her untimely death, both of the latter projects were canceled and the ending of Brainstorm had to be re-written. A stand-in and sound-a-likes were used to replace Wood for some of her critical scenes.
She appeared in 56 films for cinema and television. Following her death, Time magazine noted that although critical praise for Wood had been sparse throughout her career, "she always had work."[7]
Personal life
Marriages
Natalie Wood's two marriages to actor Robert Wagner were highly publicized. "I was ten and he was 18 when I first saw him walking down a hall at 20th Century Fox," Wood recalled. "I turned to my mother and said, 'I'm going to marry him.' "[8] It was on her 18th birthday when she went on her first date with Wagner, who was then 26. They married a year later on December 28, 1957. Financial problems on Wagner's part as well as his hostility towards Wood's friends led them to separate in June 1961 and divorce in April 1962.
On May 30, 1969, Wood married British producer Richard Gregson. The couple dated for three years prior to their marriage. They had a daughter, Natasha (born September 29, 1970). However, the marriage ended shortly after, when Wood discovered that Gregson was having an affair with her secretary. She immediately left him in August 1971 and filed for divorce. It became final in April 1972.
In early 1972, Wood resumed her relationship with Wagner. The couple remarried on July 16, 1972, just five months after reconciling and only three after she divorced Gregson. Their daughter, Courtney Wagner, was born on March 9, 1974. They remained married until Wood's death on November 29, 1981.
Other relationships
Biographer Suzanne Finstad claimed Wood slept with director Nicholas Ray, while she was trying to land the lead role in Rebel Without a Cause, when she was 16 and he was 43.[9][10] Meanwhile, costar Dennis Hopper was involved with Wood and reportedly made an unannounced visit only to discover her in bed with Ray.[11]
Wood was romantically involved with her Splendor in the Grass costar Warren Beatty from 1962 to 1965. After this she had brief relationships with actors Michael Caine, Scott Marlowe, and director Henry Jaglom, all in 1966. She briefly dated her Love with the Proper Stranger costar Steve McQueen in 1972, though it was not an exclusive relationship on either part. Wood also had a relationship with singer Elvis Presley.
Wood went on studio-arranged dates with closeted gay actors. One of these was Tab Hunter who was seven years older than her and with whom she developed a lasting friendship. Wood's long relationship with Nick Adams, (who according to biographer Gavin Lambert was another "gay or bisexual actor") also began with such a "studio-arranged date."[4][12]. According to Lambert and his reviewer David Ehrenstein, Wood also financially supported homosexual playwright Mart Crowley in a manner that made it possible for him to write his play, The Boys in the Band.[13] Concerning a possible relationship between Wood and homosexual actor Raymond Burr, 21 years her senior, Wood's biographer, Suzanne Finstad, cites Dennis Hopper as saying, "I just can't wrap my mind around that one. But you know, I saw them together. They were definitely a couple. Who knows what was going on there." [14]Wood was friends with her Rebel Without a Cause costars James Dean and Sal Mineo. Rumors that she was romantically involved with them are often contradicted by biographers, many of whom suggest that both Dean and Mineo were gay or bisexual.
Wood was rumored to have had an affair with Christopher Walken while filming Brainstorm with him in 1981. This has never been confirmed by Walken.[15] Wood's sister Lana said they "may have had an affair, but Natalie would have never left R.J."[16] It was reported by the National Enquirer that Wood and Walken had checked into a hotel room the night before her death.[17] Other rumors were that she had walked in on a tryst between Wagner and Walken. Suzanne Finstad's book claims that Wood had previously discovered Wagner "in a compromising position with another man.".[9]
Death
In September and October 1981, Wood and Wagner stayed in Raleigh, North Carolina while Wood did location work for the science-fiction film Brainstorm.[18] Wood then spent most of November in California shooting interior scenes with Christopher Walken and other cast members on the MGM lot in Culver City.[18]
After Thanksgiving, Wood, Wagner and Walken went on to Catalina Island for the weekend and on the night of November 28 their yacht (Splendour) was anchored in Isthmus Cove. Also on board was the boat's skipper, Dennis Davern, who had worked for the couple for many years. Wood apparently tried to either leave the yacht or secure a dinghy from banging against the hull when she accidentally slipped and fell overboard. A woman on a nearby yacht said she heard calls for help at around midnight. The cries lasted for about 15 minutes and were answered by someone else who said, "Take it easy. We'll be over to get you".[7] "It was laid back," the witness recalled. "There was no urgency or immediacy in their shouts".[7] An investigation by Los Angeles County coroner Thomas Noguchi resulted in an official verdict of accidental drowning. Noguchi concluded Wood had drunk "seven or eight" glasses of wine and was intoxicated when she died. There were marks and bruises on her body which could have been received as a result of her fall.[7] Noguchi later wrote had Wood not been intoxicated she likely would have realized her heavy down-filled coat and wool sweater were pulling her underwater and would have removed them.[19] Noguchi also wrote that he found Wood's fingernails embedded in the rubber boat's side.
The tragic nature of Wood's death led to a generation of rumors about what transpired that night, including speculation that Wood was having an affair with Walken and was discovered by Wagner, or that Wagner and Walken engaged in a conspiracy to murder Wood. The rumors are rooted in the rather inexplicable behavior of Wagner, Walken and the captain of the yacht, who according to Suzanne Finstad, the author of Natasha: The Biography of Natalie Wood, waited for a minimum of 90 minutes after discovering that Wood was missing to when they first called for help to find her. Most sources say that Walken was asleep throughout the entire ordeal and had nothing to do with her death. Wagner, Walken, and Davern all refused to be interviewed for Suzanne Finstad's biography of Wood. However, according to Finstad's book, Davern called Natalie's sister Lana Wood in 1992 and told her that Wagner continued fighting with Wood after she had gone overboard. Drawing from Davern's conversation with Lana Wood, among other sources, Finstad writes: "Natalie was in the ocean alongside the boat, yelling, while R.J., who was still furious, and desperately drunk, continued the argument from on board the boat." "Dennis was very panicky," the actress' sister said. "He was sitting, and would say, 'Come on, let's get her.' And he said R.J. was in such a foul mood, at that point that Dennis then shut up." The book continues: " 'Time slipped away,' Davern told Lana, 'until all the sound stopped.' "[20]
Wood was 43 at the time of her death and is buried in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery. Following her death, Time magazine noted that although critical praise for Wood had been sparse throughout her career, "she always had work."[7]
