36. The Natalie Wood Thanksgiving Tragedy

36. The Natalie Wood Thanksgiving Tragedy

In 1981,  Hollywood darling Natalie Wood invited friends to spend the after-Thanksgiving weekend with her and her husband Robert Wagner on their yacht Splendour.  Most invitees declined due to bad weather but current co-star Christopher Walken joined them.  The weekend was booze-filled leading to arguments among the three. Tragedy struck when Natalie disappeared from the boat and the next morning her body was found face down in the water.
