Natalie Wood With her expressive brown eyes, petite frame, and bouncing brunette bob, Natalie Wood was a shoe-in for Hollywood. After launching her carrer at age 4, she earned a co-starring role in Miracle on 34th Street at age 8—before turning 25 she had earned three Oscar nominations for her turns in Rebel Without A Cause , Splendor in the Grass , and Love with the Proper Stranger. When she died at age 43 under myseterious circumstances aboard her husband Robert Wagner’s yacht, few Hollywood tragedies have been debated with quite the same level of fervour. She is immortalized as a ’60s icon through her films and photos.
