Natalie Wood was born Natalia Nikolaevna Zacharenko in San Francisco in 1938 and appeared in her first film in 1943. She is probably best remembered as Maria in ‘West Side Story’ as well as Oscar nominated parts in ‘Splendour in the Grass’ and ‘Love with the Proper Stranger’.
Her death by drowning was originally deemed to be an accident but the coroner’s verdict was amended recently to include the wording ‘drowning and other undetermined factors’.
