Natalie was soo beautiful however Vivien leigh just was number one for me...i thought everyone was blown away. Plus she was Natalies favourite actress too! However i heard that her sister Lana wood was better than her and she was not. She was quite cheap as she posed nude in playbog mags all over and natalie disagreed with this. Oh well long live Natalie Wood Vivien Leigh and Jean Simmons!

Everlasting Nat! (Mon Nov 29, 2004 6:40am ET)report post

The first time I fell in love (almost literally) with Natalie Wood was after looking up to her in the classic movie "Rebel without a cause", particularly in the scene in which she, together with the gang of her schoolfellows, got near slowly and almost stealthily to the car of Dean parked in front of the Planetarium and then she sat on the bonnet of his car drawing herself up and crossing her legs at the same time, in a graceful and elatic as well as subtly exciting gesture. And besides beauty, charm, intelligence, skill, womanliness: Nat had all those qualities to the highest degree and as well-matched as possible, a real show for eyes and mind.
No American actress has ever moved me more!
Thank you to have lived, dearest and wonderful Nat; we will never forget you and we will miss you forever but we can say already now that the world has been a bit better thanks to your luminous presence...

A huge admirer from Italy

I believe that the yacht Splendour is now living quietly at the Ala Wai Yacht harbor in Honolulu... If you are still interested I can send you a picture... If this is truly the boat. I am not positive. (But it looks like the same yacht)

We just pulled our boat out to work on at the La Conner Maritime boat yard in Washington State and one of the workers claims that The Splendour is also in the yard. We took a look and it does look like it. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Yes, its true, the yacht was donated to the seascouts immediatly after natalie's death, it was used for about 2 years, then sold at auction after one of the twin cummins 901 diesel engines blew up and it was to costly to replace, My friend Steve Greene's, father purchased the yacht, replaced the engine, and used it for a charter fishing boat, He also changed the name from the "SPLENDOUR" to the "GRACEFUL LADY",at that point it was put back in Marina del rey, and moored next to George Hamiltons yacht. The dinghy named the "valiant", was sold to Robert Goulet, to be used on his yacht the "ROGO". I actually spent alot of time on this yacht(graceful lady), and alot of time at marina del rey, that summer, if you would like to talk about this feel free to call me on my cell phone 509-217-2582

Did you find a link to the yacht Splendour. I just watched a movie 'Dangerous Charter' and was wandering if this was the famous yacht.

On the Beatles' "White Album" (1968) there is a track called "Revolution 9" near the end (the second-to-last track). It is not a song in the conventional sense, but rather an eerie tape montage of voices, musical snippets and sound effects. This too may have predicted Natalie Wood's drowning. Voice snippets include "colors of the season" (possibly referring to the late fall when leaves turn color), "Tom did it ... with the situation" (coroner Thomas Noguchi handled the autopsy), and "Only to find the night watchman" (Robert Wagner asked the harbor patrol at Catalina to look for his wife). There is a repeating segment that sounds like a backwards-running church choir that seems to be repeating "Natalie Wood will drown..." Near the end there is a section that sounds like haunted house moaning that, when played backwards at 45 rpm, seems to be saying "Santa Catalina Island" while another voice repeats "Natalie... Natalie... Natalie..." The whole of "Revolution 9" when played backwards sounds like an argument followed by the sounds of drowning in a busy harbor. Also, "Revolution 9" is the 29th track on the "White Album" (counting from Side 1, track 1), and Natalie Wood drowned on the 29th of November.

On Pink Floyd's 1971 album "Meddle" there's a 23-minute song called "Echoes" (which took up the entire Side 2 of the original vinyl LP). That is one song said to have symbolically foretold Natalie Wood's drowning. For starters, the lyrics mention a lot about the sea. About halfway through the song fades into a long stretch of eerie sound effects that sound sort of like whale songs mixed with haunted-house noises. This gradually shifts to a thrumming bass line that suggests the sound of a helicopter (like the search helicopter that sighted Natalie's body). The riff increases in intensity until it segues into the last verse (about waking up as if from a dream).
