A strange hybrid, based on two biographical books, peppered with talking heads of friends, photos and film clips, but largely a dramatized TV movie, not very well written by Elizabeth Egloff, but with Peter getting the most out of his actors and material.
Natalie is played by Justine Waddell -
- and by Elizabeth Rice (Mad Men) as a teenager -
- and Grace Fulton as a kid. Here she is with the villain of the piece, her mother (Alice Krige) -
According to Lana Wood's biography 'Little Sister' the star who raped her was Kirk Douglas. She also thought her death mysterious.
Likely there's still some Wood back catalogue worth exploring, for example Love With the Proper Stranger (1963 Steve McQueen), The Star (1952 Bette Davis), The Blue Veil (1951 Jane Wyman), The Jackpot (1950 James Stewart), No Sad Songs For Me (1950 Margaret Sullavan) and Driftwood (1947 Walter Brennan).
