Let’s take a look at Natalie’s
death and the conspiracy theories surrounding it with her drowning accidently
being the most possible solution for her death.
Character Analysis
Natalie Wood is
depicted as intelligent and organized. She has a well-organized business
mindset; she makes her plans effectively, sets goals and works on to her level
best ensuring quality and competence in whatever she does. Whenever she commits
herself to anything, she utilizes all her abilities to overcome obstacles and
endure difficulties.
Like many other
accomplished writers, she is talented with creativity and means of
self-expression. She is best known for her screen role in her different work
such as Splendor in The Glass, West Side Story and Miracles of the 34th Street
(Kashner).
She can also be
described as a person with proficient administrative and organizational skills.
This, however, depends on how she often skips details to ensure that she has
not lost what is most important. In all her work, Natalie Wood is displayed as
being cautious. She does not hurry to conclusions; she takes time when planning
for the short and long-time future. She is also good at record keeping. She
makes sure that she has all her diary and elaborate notes well organized and
recorded. Natalie wood is also displayed as being an efficient and effective
business person (Kashner). While still making sure that she is socially moral
she makes sure that she teaches her audience to maintain knowledge since it
acts as a basic requirement for one to be successful. If she would for ones she
finds herself overdoing things, that is, being over organized, it is possible
for her to find herself in disarray and confused (Rainey). She, however, does
away with some of the details and does what she feels as being good for the
good of the large picture. One can at a time find her as being undisciplined
but later come to appreciate her great planning skills.
Wood can be
described as being enthusiastic. She is always active, quite hyperactive and
fidgety. Life is always a continuous process for her and embarrasses it with
great energy. She is idealistic and good at implementing things (1). She does
not hesitate to act whenever she feels like doing anything. She is not
influenced by what other thinks of her. She acts while at the same time
radiating energy, livelihood, and enthusiasm around herself.
When she is
overweight, she suffers more than most people would. Being overweight produces
a different personality rather than the one she is always trying to project.
Square corners and straight lines accent her good physical outlook and display
her as a leader. She is always self-conscious of her height and prefers to wear
6" stiletto heels shoes.
She has strong
physical stamina and loves physical and mental exercise. She always keeps
herself physically and mentally fit. She feels comfortable while spending her
feel time outdoors and eating food that is natural. It is always very
challenging for her to stay in the place that she cannot move around. She loves
being engaged in regular exercises, taking proper diet and making sure that she
has relaxed her body and mind in the best ways possible to make sure that she
remains healthy. Walking in areas that provide natural mind cleansing serves as
her ways of meditation and as basic mind boosting ingredients.
Conspiracy Description
On
the night of Natalie Wood’s death, many theories were made about how her death
happened. Her accidently falling off the boat, being out in the middle of the
night alone or, her being murdered by her husband or ex co-star. There is no
answers till this day about this mystery or who is responsible for her death.
The first theory is her falling off
the boat, she and her friends and husband went out to their boat. Splendour. On the November 29, she had
some drinks with her husband and co-star. It was said she was drinking heavily.
Wagner reportedly broke a bottle during a fit of anger over
Wood's relationship with Walken. They remember Wood’s violate behavior that
night. “The actress had fallen into the water while
trying to board the dinghy (Sam Kashner)”. People on another boat said
they heard screams coming from the boat Splendour, but didn’t think anything of
it since they were partying. A poll that
was taken at College of the Mainland, about 80% of those on campus said they
don’t believe in this theory.
The second conspiracy theory
is her husband being responsible for death. She was noticed to be
missing at about 1:30am in Catalina Island, in the Pacific. Natalie wood was on
their Yacht with the husband, Robert
Wagner and Dennis Davern were with the couple after they had left the Doug
Harbor reef where they had dined and drank some more (Sophie). Natalie and her husband had left California to
Catalina Island for Thanksgiving with friends on November 27th; the
party involved a lot of drinking, the party continued to the restaurant in
Catalina Island(1). Later the friends, Miller and other three friends, the
owner of the diner Don Whiting, advised the harbor patrol Kurt Craig to keep an
eye on them for safety precautions. When Miller
was about to quite the noise by calling bay watch, at around 1:15 am the radio
sprang and it was Wagner wife talking, he asked whether they were cruising to
the vicinity, and reported that someone was missing (1). Miller described his
tone as quizzical, no worry or nervousness felt. In fact many people at the
campus believed this was the best theory solving her death.
The third
conspiracy theory was based on why she was out alone at night. Natalie left the
yacht with two men, and none of them noticed when she left. She was also drunk when she did, according to the autopsy
report from the medical officer Thomas Noguchi
says that she was .14 level of alcohol above the level of alcohol in California
generally at 0.4. Natalie also had bruises on her arms and legs; the injuries were
superficial; she might have got them from the yacht
as she was trying not to fall off. John Payne, a
broker, and his wife had someone scream, “help, somebody help,” but didn’t take
this seriously a lot of noise in the yachts to verify the outcry for help.
According to the husband, Robert Wagner
says that Natalie might have left to avoid the argument or to untie the Dinghy
and might have been pushed while she was
out there alone.
