In the 1950s and '60s, there was no star that shone brighter than Natalie Wood. As a child actor who smoothly transitioned to adult roles, Natalie made an unforgettable impact on the world with her sensitive performances and her spectacular beauty. In a span of less than twenty years, her talent graced a dozen classics, including Miracle on 34th Street, The Searchers, Rebel Without a Cause, Splendor in the Grass, West Side Story, and Gypsy, earning her three Oscar nominations and two Golden Globes. Few actresses in Hollywood history have carved out careers as diverse and rich as Natalie Wood’s, and few have touched as many hearts in a tragically short lifetime.
Natalie Wood: Reflections on a Legendary Life boldly redefines Natalie not by her tragic death, but by her extraordinary life. This is the first family-authorized photographic hardcover book on Natalie Wood, and the first book to examine her glamorous film career as well as her private off-screen life as a wife and mother. Lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs and featuring thoughtful essays on her Hollywood career, a special section on the making of West Side Story, an original introduction by her husband Robert Wagner, a reminiscence by her daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner, a family album with never-before-seen snapshots, and an unpublished article written by Natalie in her own words, Natalie Wood: Reflections on a Legendary Life is that once-in-a-lifetime book that will change the way the world remembers a Hollywood legend.
