NATALIE WOOD The Complete Biography

Narrator Rose McGowan gives an intelligent interpretation of this updated biography of Natalie Wood. McGowan delivers the story of the heartbreakingly beautiful child star (MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET) who turned into a talented actress (SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS) in spite of and because of her mother. Today we would call it child abuse. Back then, they called it being a stage mother. McGowan's narration is matter-of-fact, unbiased, and doesn't overdramatize. The result of decades of research into the mystery that surrounds Natalie Wood's death, Finstad's audiobook provides glimpses of Wood through her unpublished memoir. The author conducted hundreds of interviews, including those with new witnesses, and, after having open access to LAPD's "Murder Book," Finstad reveals stunning details of what really happened the night Natalie Wood drowned.
