In the autumn of this year, the thirty-one year from the day of the death of the famous American actress, who was nominated for the Academy Award three times by Natalie Wood, Natasha, as her close people called her, or Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharanka, was listed as her passport. For more than a decade, this name has remained on everyone's lips, at least on the territory of America. Natalie remained in the history of Hollywood, as one of the most colorful stars and one of the most sad of his riddles.
Setting the Mother Succeeding
The family of Zakharanka in America was not very sweet. Nikolay silently sad for his homeland and loved to drink a lot, Maria dreamed of Hollywood, music. she did not speak English well, she just broke into ridicule. July 20, 1938, a girl was born to all, who was named Natasha, and her mother firmly decided for herself: if she could not conquer Hollywood, her daughter would do it. In 1942 in Santo-Rose, where he lived Zakharenko, came the crew, who needed a little girl for episodic. As the director said, he is looking for a girl who is able to convincingly cry. Maria in the ear of her four-year-old daughter began to tell how the neighbor's boy tore off the wings of a small bird and the girl began to sob tearfully, that the director could not resist her tears. TakNata and got her very first role. Mother was sure that the career of the daughter in the movie had already begun and insisted that the family moved to Los Angeles. But Hollywood was very strict with the girl and did not immediately open his front door. For several years, all the castings ended in failure. Amat after every failure punished her daughter - she did not talk to her for weeks.
In 1947, Natalia finally got a role in the movie "Miracle on 34th Street." This film equated to the number of "classic" Christmas films. By the way, after the film, a miracle happened in Natasha's life: the press called her "the gorgeous daughter of Hollywood", and invented for her the sonorous name of Wood. By the age of 17, there were more than thirty films on the account of the beginning actress.
American dream
As a rule, children and teenagers actors are very difficult to transfer the process of growing up - the natural charm goes away. But with Natasha this did not happen: a beautiful and well-built girl at the age of 17 played in the cult film, which sang a youth riot - "The rebel without an ideal."
Then one successful work was replaced by another. In 1961, America held its breath from the movie "West Side Story" - the best musical of its time. At that time, the actress had a good fee, which was even more than that of Merlin Monroe, and was accredited to the Oscar. She personified the American dream: the daughter of poor emigrants achieved everything with the help of her work and talent. At that time, I did not even suspect that fame had its price, which Natalie had already paid.
Bed, couch and bottle
The psychological traumas received in childhood necessarily give insight. Mother placed in her daughter's head the fear of failure and fear that she would become "rejected." While the girl played roles in "family" go-go films, its basis for her success was "exemplary" behavior, not only on the screen, but in life. But at the time of filming in the "Rebel without an ideal," the girl was in a completely different environment of young people with free views. And in order to make an impression on them, Natalie "gave her virginity" by sleeping with the director of the film, and after a few days slept with a partner in the film. Until the end of filming, she maintained relations with both men.
In 1956, all the girls are experiencing a terrible envy, the millionaire Elvis Presley is romancing an affair with Natalie Wood, and they even want to get married. Natalie strongly disliked Elvis's mother and it was very strong. This is what caused the actress to marry one of Hollywood's most promising actors, Robert Wagner, in 1957. Spouses were the favorites of the public.
After five years of marriage, Robert cheats Natalie, and does it with a husband. The couple are divorced, and the actress begins to be uncomfortable with regard to her sexuality. To get rid of doubts, the actress begins to have intimate relationships with a man who has anything to do with Hollywood. She realized that she was dependent on her own ideas and tried in every possible way to nichizbavitsya with the help of a psychoanalyst. In 1966 Natalie tried to end her life. She took the lion's share of sedative, but doctors managed to save her.
Family happiness
Attempted suicide has stalled an acting career. Now Natalie was the least interested in creative success. By the age of thirty she dreamed of a family and children. Director of the casting agency Richard Gregorson in 1969 becomes the wife of an actress who gives birth to a girl. That's only because of her husband's replacement with the secretary, in 1971 the marriage falls apart.
At one of the parties in 1971, Natalie meets her first wife, Robert Wagner, and they both understand that a friend can not live a screwdriver. The couple again binds herself by marriage, in two years Natalie gives birth to another girl. In his career, too, there is a rise: all the films of the 70's with the participation of Natali Wood enjoy great success.
One day, fate linked Wood with the actor Christopher Walken. The actress immediately fell in love with him. At that time, Walken was already twelve years old and had the glory of a man with oddities and unstable psychics. All around, who knew Wagner and Walken, were saying that it would not end well.
Care in Hollywood
To this day, it is not known why Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood decided to celebrate the November "Thanksgiving Day" on a yacht, in the company of Christopher Walken alone. The company very well spent time, until the coast guard received a message that the man behind the borbit. This same person turned out to be Natalia Wood herself, whose lifeless body rescuers managed to get out of the water. Wagner himself declares himself: his wife did not tell anyone, decided to go ashore, but the boat stalled and she tried to get her started to fall out, about her body hitting - on the head of a woman found a bruise.
The funeral of the actress was "Hollywood": in the coffin she lay an umbrella coat, which her husband never had time to give.
Evil without punishment, an unanswered question
In 1944, at the time of filming, while still a girl, Natati Vudupala in the water and almost drowned. Since then, she regarded the water as a source of death and kept from her as far as possible. Even for every scene with water, the actress agreed with the presence of an over-reliably insured. How could it happen that a woman so afraid of water, still drowned?
After many years, the captain, who worked at Wagner, told reporters that according to his hypothesis, drunk Natalie fell asleep, and when she asked, she found her husband and Walken having sex. This was the reason that the offended and "rejected" Natalie decided to go ashore. Of course, this is just a version, but it has the full right to life! But what do not speak, but in life everything, as in the cinema - evil is always punishable, but the truth does not always become reality.
