My biggest fear, "she once said in an interview," is the dark depths of the sea. "As if she had guessed it.

She was covered with bruises and had an abrasion on the left cheek. Woods was wearing a nightgown, socks and a red down jacket.
The death of the actress were one of the biggest mysteries in Hollywood, because on the boat except Wood nor her husband, actor Robert Wagner and actor Christopher Walken, worked with the Wood just a movie ("Brainstorm" in 1983 appeared).
Three of the most famous Hollywood actor involved in a mysterious case about love, jealousy and death. Natalie Wood, daughter of Russian immigrants, was one of the great actresses of her time. On the side of James Dean, she was with, "For they know not what they do" has become a star, Maria starred in "West Side Story" and with Plenty O'Toole in the James Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever".
The new information should come from reporters
The police investigation was then closed with the result, Woods's death was an accident. But there were already as many who doubted that version.
According to the gossip site tmz.com information critical of the police come from the research of journalist Marti Rulli. The sheriff had then two detectives assigned to the case. Rulli was released in 2009 along with Dennis Davern, the former captain of the yacht "Splendour" (glory), a book. It's called "Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour."
This tells Davern, who had three actors on the night drinking together and talking. Robert Wagner had become jealous and went off to Christopher Walken. "You want to sleep with my wife?" He had shouted. "Is that what you want?" Walken was then gone to his cabin, Wagner and Wood would have only fought in their cabin, and later on the deck.
Davern had heard screams and loud rumbling. Finally, it has become quiet. A little later, Wagner had come to him and said: ". Natalie is gone," but wanted to communicate as the captain of the Coast Guard, Wagner had held him.
Also, Lana Wood, sister of the late actress, not wanting to believe in an accident. Last year she told CNN in an interview: "My sister could not swim. You would never just a nightgown off the boat, either on another boat on land. "They also believe that violent quarrel with her sister's husband, Robert Wagner was the reason that her sister drowned. She wanted no one to blame. "I just want the truth comes to light."
There have been scandals

Also, Robert Wagner, was married to Natalie Wood is the second time, has released his version of the November night: In his autobiography, "Pieces Of My Heart" in which he of his idols, his affairs, his loves and his life told.
He writes here about the night that he had seen his wife for the last time alive. Christopher Walken and he had had a fight. And yes, he had been a little jealous, and he had smashed a wine bottle.
But it is in this dispute had been concerned that walking would be involved in career Woods. "The last time I saw Natalie, she stood before the mirror and combed his hair. She wanted to go to sleep. "He did something with the captain still sat in the saloon before he even wanted to go to bed. Then he realized: "Natalie is not there anymore. Funny, "and then notified the Coast Guard.
