Natalie Wood: Photos

Natalie Wood: Photos — July 20 would’ve been Natalie Wood’s 85th birthday. Natalie was an actress who started out as a child star when she was in the 1947 film, ‘Miracle on 34th Street.’ Throughout her career, Natalie starred in a slew of well-known films. Natalie was 19 years old when she married Robert Wagner in 1957 – he was 26 at the time. The couple’s marriage ended in divorce in 1962, and after that, Natalie married producer Richard Gregson, and they had a daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner. That relationship also ended in divorce in 1972, but five months later, Robert & Natalie got back together, remarried & had their own daughter, Courteney Wagner. Unfortunately, Natalie’s life was taken too soon, when she was just 43 years old on a boating trip with her husband Robert Wagner off the coast of Catalina, California in 1981. Take a look back at Natalie’s life through photos.

Natalie Wood was pictured looking stunning in a red dress for a portrait in 1960.
