0:00.0 | I'm Avery Ross and welcome back to Avery After Dark. |
0:18.9 | This week we are breaking down the mysterious drowning of big-time |
0:23.1 | actress and movie star Natalie Wood. This case involves names and people who you will probably |
0:30.1 | recognize. And I want to talk about it because I find everything about what happened the weekend |
0:36.4 | of her death so incredibly suspicious, |
0:39.9 | and I want to see if you all get the same feeling as I do. |
0:43.3 | Before we get into Natalie's final days, let's discuss Natalie herself because she was a really |
0:48.9 | talented and interesting person. |
0:52.0 | Natalie Wood was born in 1938 in San Francisco, California, and was one of the |
0:57.5 | biggest movie stars in Hollywood. She starred in the 1947 Christmas classic Miracle on 34th Street, |
1:05.1 | when she was only 11 years old, and this kicked off a bustling acting career for her. She reached stardom at a young age, |
1:12.5 | but since Natalie was a young girl, she had a fear of dark water, so oceans, lakes, anything |

1:30.4 | how Natalie met her end, but also, what a horrible thing for this fortune teller to tell this |
1:37.6 | young girl. Natalie's mother apparently egged on this fear in a lot of ways, and it developed into a full-blown phobia for her. |
1:46.3 | It got so intense as a kid that Natalie reportedly was afraid of even showering or washing her |
1:52.3 | hair. I mean, bless her heart, that's horrible. She was having reoccurring nightmares and all |
1:57.8 | around was just petrified. She avoided water and didn't learn or like to swim. |
2:04.0 | I think we can all attest to how scary things can be as a kid, whether it's the monster in your |
2:09.5 | closet or underneath your bed. But imagine someone telling you that you are going to die in |
2:15.8 | this kind of way as a kid. I would have been terrified. |
