Hi, is this community still active? I've only just discovered Natalie Wood, after watching The Mystery of Natalie Wood and I have fallen in love with her. I have read two of the biographies about her and I find the story of her life and her relationship with Robert Wagner facinating. I was hoping someone can point me in the direction of where I can find Splendor in the Grass and some of her other less known movies online?
Thanks for the help.

Hey fellow Nat fans! ^_^
Recently I finished making 300+ screencaps of one of my favorite films and one of Nat's best ever, Splendor in the Grass, and thought I'd let everyone here know. :)
Check them out at my screencap gallery. :3

Would you guys mind posting any Nat photos of you have with Steve McQueen, please? I have seen some adorable pictures of them in icons but have no idea where to find them. Thank you!

I won't be on here tomorrow because I'll be out of town. So here's my tribute because I can't miss it!
Tomorrow would have been my favorite person's 70th birthday. She came and went before my own time but that doesn't make a difference. She had it all. I've only been exposed to her work for about two years now but it feels like forever. I first saw her in Miracle on 34th Street when I was younger but back then I didn't know anything about the actors. I just remember loving that movie. I then picked up West Side Story one evening because I remember my mom telling me that she just adored it and plus, I was going through the "i love musicals" phase. I didn't think much of Natalie in that until after I checked the credits and made the connection that Maria was little Susan Walker. I couldn't believe it was the same person. Then I went out on a limb and bought Rebel Without a Cause because 1) I heard it was a classic 2) It would be my 1st James Dean film 3) Natalie was in it and 4) it was on sale, lol. I was hooked from that point on.
Despite only being 5'1" more or less, she was one strong lady. She was raped, was in the movie business for practically her entire life and had the stage mother from hell. She tore the wings of butterflys to make Natalie cry on cue, told her that everyone was out to poison her, pushed her into the movie biz, refused medical treatment when Natalie broke her wrist - leaving a slight deformity that she covered for the rest of her life with braclets, and made her fear nearly everything - especially dark water. Supposedly before Natalie's birth, a gypsy predicted that Natalie's mother would drown and that her second child (Natalie) would become a world famous beauty. Thanks to her mother, this fear got passed to Natalie.. She went through several years of analysis and came out stronger than ever. I always think about her mother whenever I get angry at my mom. In comparison, I have no reason to be angry, lol. She was one tough cookie and I really admire her strength.
Happy Birthday Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko aka Natasha Gurdin aka Natalie Wood!
July 20, 1938 - November 29, 1981

I wanted to share with you all those two pictures. The one with R.J. I don't remember where I got, was taken from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rroughmagic. Thank you! I also don't remember where I got the first one. But I know I love those two!
1. I was watching The Mystery of Natalie Wood on youtube, and I saw that they played out R.J. and Natalie's relationship as sort of... too perfect? I don't know how to explain it, but before the psychologist scenes, it was like a fairy-tale romance. I honestly don't think it was at all that way. Thoughts?
2. I bought Natasha today. I promised myself to read it after I finished reading a book for school, as my little treat. I want this post to not only discuss Natalie and R.J.'s relationship, but the books as well =]
Enjoy.

As stephsayss brought to my attention, this community isn't as active as it should be. So here's a post that I hope brings this community back to life.
 1. This is probably one of my favorite Nat pictures. She was always beautiful! The one in my icon is, too. That whole photoshoot was beautiful. What are your favorite Natalie pictures?
2. I'm reading Natalie Wood: A Life, and I really don't like it right now, but so far I've read about her roles in movies such as The Searchers and Rebel Without A Cause. Which are your favorite roles Natalie played? I haven't seen many movies, but right now I really love Angie Rossini in Love With the Proper Stranger. which are yours? |
