Ah, that takes me back.
Natalie Wood’s death is being re-investigated.
A reminder if you forgot: Hart to Hart was the big show on TV in ’81, starring Stephanie Powers and Robert Wagner.
Stephanie Powers was in a nine-year relationship with William Holden, and Robert Wagner was married to Natalie Wood.
William Holden died accidentally November 12, 1981, while Natalie Wood didn’t die accidentally till November 29, 1981.
William Holden was alone, drunk, fell, split his head and eventually bled to death.
Natalie Wood was alone, drunk, accidentally slipped and fell overboard.
And Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers had just co-starred in Strangers On A Train. No, they didn’t. But criss-cross, am I right?

Well now that was damned creepyish. I was reading this on the computer with the TV running in the background. Suddenly RJ himself was talking to me about reverse mortgages.
I have always wondered about him and William Shatner.
Yes! Yes! That’s what I thought at the time! Just, wasn’t it all so (tragically) convenient that both people died as what others might have deemed an opportune moment.
I mean, Christopher Walken you just expect to have offed somebody because he is inherently creepy. Which means he wouldn’t have done it.
And yes about William Shatner, too.
PS – Back in the day when Xman was hanging out with an over the hill B-list actor, the actor revealed some things to us. I’m sorry I can’t remember the specifics, but back in the early 60’s, there were some Hollywood Mystery Deaths. The actor blew that off. “Everybody knew his wife killed him. Knocked him in the head with a frying pan then pushed him down the basement stairs.” Yeah, OJ’s not the only one who got away with it.
Zayrina – Shatner! I forgot. How easy would that be? Your wife is passed out, throw her in the pool. Would she stay passed out? If she was too drunk to wake up, would that be murder?Becs – But then they didn’t hook up, instead he hooked up with Jill St John, the woman who played Stephanie’s role in the Hart to Hart pilot. A beard?Becs part 2 – in the 60s? The George Reeves killings?
