Summary

Darlings, in this episode, we pull the thread of Natalie Wood and connect her back into Laurel Canyon. Her parents built a home on Lookout Mountain on Woodrow Wilson Drive, that will have quite a storied history beyond Natalie, and into the spiderwebs that are Dominick Dunne. 

Get ready to meet Mart Crowley, ponder the Boys in the Band, and recall Romanoff's (not those ones).

headed back into Laurel Canyon with the story of a home. Just one home on Woodrow Wilson

Drive. This street is way up Laurel Canyon Boulevard.

Woodrow Wilson Drive lives over off to the east. It's an offshoot of where Laurel Canyon Boulevard

intersects with Mulholland Drive. But there's a new build on Woodrow Wilson that happens in the

1:09.9

mid-1950s. After all those cut-throughs

1:13.2

have been made, and this home is built for the family of a famous child star working her way

but not that it ends with her. This one home has quite a storied history in Hollywood,

1:43.0

and to me is a wonderful example of the echoes

1:46.4

in each of our seasons where we talk about community, colony. We build these ideas within our

spider-webbed connected world, and this story is a great example of it. Before we get into our story today,
