Natalie Wood, real name Natalia Nikolaevna Zaharienko, was born on July 20, 1938 in San Francisco in a family of Russian immigrants. Her, Maria, an unfulfilled prima ballerina, poured all her ambitions on her and with unwavering determination realized the vision of making her first-born a great star.
She was a star on the screen, but at home she was going through hell. The reason was a difficult relationship with his mother
She made her screen debut in “The Moon Is Down” by Irving Pichel, but working on the set was quite a challenge for the 5-year-old. Apparently, when she couldn’t cry on command, her mother deprived the butterfly of its wings in front of her, which caused the expected reaction. The premiere brought Natalie many positive reviews and sympathy from the audience, but her talent was fully revealed only four years later in “Miracle on 34th Street”. Although she was successful on screen, behind closed doors she experienced a nightmare. Her parents didn’t work, so she supported the whole family with what she earned. Maria believed that she was capable of more, and she tried to boost her career by pushing her into the arms of older directors. Once, when she heard that she had been raped, she shrugged and never brought it up again.
In the following years, Natalie did not slow down and worked hard to become a Hollywood star. At the age of 25, she had produced over 50 productions, including: “Rebel Without a Cause”, “Lush Spring” and “Love with the Proper Stranger”, for which she received nominations. At the peak of her career, the press focused not on her achievements, but on her stormy private life and numerous affairs.
She was married three times. Natalie Wood died in mysterious circumstances
she was linked with many famous men, but before she decided to get married, she had to get her mother’s approval. She told her to take Robert Wagner as her husband. The couple married in 1957, but they were not well-matched. Her husband was unable to remain faithful, so after less than five years they divorced. Later, the actress was associated with, among others, Warren Beatty, but eventually in 1969 she married producer Richard Gregson. Although they had a daughter, Natasha, after three years the marriage broke up due to betrayal. She healed her broken heart in the arms of her ex-husband, Wagner. The couple decided to remarry, and their daughter, Courtney, was born. However, the happiness did not last long, because on November 29, 1981, Natalie Wood found herself on the coast of California’s Catalina Island in circumstances that are still unclear.
That day, together with her husband and Christopher Walken, she celebrated the end of filming for the movie “Brainstorm” in a restaurant. Drunk with champagne, they went together to the yacht, where an argument broke out. Wagner accused the actress of having an affair with a co-star, and she frantically wanted to get into a lifeboat and reach land on her own. Apparently that was when she accidentally fell into the water and drowned. However, her relatives did not believe this version. It was common knowledge that Wood was terrified of water, but this was not enough evidence, especially since Wagner’s version was also confirmed by the boat’s captain, Davern. It wasn’t until many years later that he confessed that he had lied. According to his version, the actress was pushed overboard by her husband, who did not notify the services so that she could “learn a lesson.” Although an investigation was initiated, the case ultimately came to a standstill and still has the status of .
Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual contact. According to UNICEF data, approximately 15 million teenagers between 15 and 19 years of age have experienced this type of violence around the world, but only 1 percent of teenagers seek help from a professional. Research shows that 80 percent Rape victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If you are a victim of sexual violence, you can get help by calling, for example, the “Niebieska Linia” Telephone Clinic – 22 668 70 00 (7 days a week, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) or the 24-hour emergency telephone number of the Women’s Rights Center – 600 070 717.
