It continues to amaze me that we seem collectively incapable of adhering to our own rules. If you want to start a new topic, start a new thread; but, for heaven's sake, don't keep hijacking this one.

You're right, Maurice, sorry.

Currently waiting for Evelyn Waugh but nothing yet, then !

Roy?! Et tu, Brute?

Exactly so, Tom.

48 Hours Mystery had a segment on Hollywood murders 3 weeks ago and had a big segment on the Natalie Wood death. I was shocked to here what's being alleged. The evidence comes from the captain of the boat (the only other person on the boat besides RJ, Walken, and Wood), and also some people in a boat not far away who heard a woman screaming for a length of time.

Yours truly,

Some weeks ago, TV news I think.

OK, last highjack David, where did you read this?

[DVV]

Sorry to highjack this thread again, but is it documented that Walken was present when Wood drowned? Wow.

Hello Maria, yes he was present. Seems they were all drunk. Walken quarrelled with Wagner, then Wagner with Wood. Wagner said he was ready to go to court. Walken could perhaps be charged with failure to assist a person in danger, it depends on the details of the recent "revelation". Wait and see.
Of course they're all innocent til proven etc etc.

[DVV]

It was a tragic accident, nothing more.

How you know ?

That's hilarious.

I'm currently about to re-read Ripperology's War and peace (article), AKA Gavin Bromley's Ms Kür piece.

I would like to start, and complete, "War and Peace." This means I would live for another 30 years.

You sure ?

You seem unaware of the recent development of the case, my friend, and in any case, you can't deny that there has always been rumours and gossip, and that the case, although nothing has been proven yet, is far for having been cleared. One can't be entirely satisfied with the "official version".

No, I'm well aware of the recent news of the case being reopened. Seems to be based on a witness hearing Natalie screaming while she was drowning. It was reported Walken has hired a lawyer even though he is not consindered a suspect. It was a tragic accident, nothing more. Let's return to the intended topic of this thread, please.

And by the way, we have erred in putting an s at the end of Natalie's name. She was Natalie Wood, not Natalie Woods.

[DVV]

Everyone knows what happened to Natalie Woods.

Everyone knows what happened to Natalie Woods- she was tipsy and fell off the boat.

Don't know, I've been tipsy in the water at night many times. It might have been suicide? (Like Druitt.)

I think we've strayed from the topic of this thread though.

A little.

[kensei]

He knows what happened to Nathalie Woods.

Everyone knows what happened to Natalie Woods- she was tipsy and fell off the boat. By the way the movie they made together, "Brainstorm," is another really good one. It's about scientists who invent a device that can record thoughts on tape for playback, and ends up recording the experience of death. Quite ironic in a sad way, as Natalie died while filming it. I think we've strayed from the topic of this thread though.
