Anyone else think he had more to do with Natalie Wood's death


.. than he lets on?


He always seems so evasive about the topic, even after all these years. Sure, I wouldn't be happy about talking about her death either, but it seems more like he's trying to hide something to me rather than just put it behind him.

Also, witness testimony says that Walken was supposedly flirting with Wood earlier in the night that Wood's had drowned.

Alas, we'll probably never know without a confession of Wagner or Walken.

Why would he feel bad about it, if it was really an accident? There's nothing personal and private about it; the death of a celebrity is obviously going to be public, especially if it is as suspicious of a case as this one.

The fact that the case has been changed from a "drowning accident" to a "drowning and other undetermined factors" should speak for itself. Guess what Christopher Walken's reaction to this was? Hire a lawyer.

Walken does owe the American nation and his loyal fans his honesty. So because they have to live with what happened and the stigma attached, they have to keep everything hush-hush as if they really have something to hide? If Walken and Wagner are as innocent as you're saying, why don't they act that way?

If he knows anything about Natalie Wood's death, he owes it to her and her children to be honest and should tell authorities. Whether or not he was involved with Wood or just flirting doesn't matter to me, it's the outcome of what happened to her.

I do not believe he was in anyway directly involved in her death. I do think her husband was probably in a drunken jealous rage and killed her by accident. Walken already has said that he and Wagner argued and, being stuck on a boat, went to his cabin to get away. Many witnesses have stated that all three were very drunk, so I'm hoping Walken passed out in his cabin and honestly didn't hear or know anything more until he woke up the next morning.

I have always respected Walken as an actor and I truly hope he has been honest about everything he knows about that night. Whether Wood and him did have an affair or not, they were at least good friends. I'm sure he probably does carry guilt that he may have indirectly caused her death, if it turns out her husband killed her due to jealousy over him.

Regardless of everything else, if he knows anything, he owes it to her to be honest so she can finally get the justice she deserves.

she caught the 2 men having sex, and why she freaked out.
_________
She had married Wagner twice, they also had a kid. Wagner also had a child to another marriage. There had been rumors about Wagner being bisexual and I recall reading one of them when in the paper, when I was about 12 years old. It was an article about male celebrities, who had been with men. Was Wood naive or in denial about her husbands sexuality? If she freaked out, I would like to think it is because Wagner was being unfaithful to her and not because of his sexual attraction to men.

Also, Walken was (and still is) married to Georgianne Thon (who was also in Brainstorm).

If she knew he was bisexual, you'd think she would naturally wonder how he retrained his urges.
_______
Did she know though or was she just avoiding the truth? Women don't generally tend to understand or accept a man's sexual urges. By that same token, do Men understand what women really want? If the evening was alcohol fueled and a fight had already taken place, any excuse would have done.

I doubt there was any conspiracy and if Wood was drunk and pissed off at Wagner or even Walken too, then what happened to her, was by all probability, accidental. Most people want the drama of a movie and being movie stars involved, it got blown out of proportion. She was an attractive woman and fans were shocked and blame then gets assigned.

Neither Walken or Wagner are innocent in being involved in the death of Natalie Wood. Walken had a motive and was ordered by Wagner to do the dirty deed. Investigators need to focus on William Holden's murder to unravel Natalie Wood's homicide. The truth can be hard to believe sometimes and this is one of those times.
