Natalie Wood on the cover of People magazine

Natalie Wood on the cover of People magazine, 2016. They picked a great photo of her for the cover, but I think they should have picked a color photo of her.

Natalie and her daughter Natasha.

Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner, 1970's. Their outfits are just so wonderfully 1970's!

Natalie Wood is on the cover of this week’s People magazine. While the cover promises to give us “the untold story,” there’s not much new inside. But there is a nice interview with Natasha Gregson Wagner which doesn’t tread the same ground as the recent New York Times profile of her. There are also some great photos from Gregson Wagner’s personal collection, including one of a radiant Natalie holding Natasha at 6 weeks old. There’s also a great photo of the whole Wood/Wagner clan, including Natasha’s half-sisters Courtney and Katie, from 1977. In that photo, Robert Wagner is wearing a denim jacket that’s just barely buttoned, and Natalie is wearing super high-waisted jeans that of course look really good on her, because no style of clothing looked bad on her. 

The cover also tells us that “Robert Wagner Breaks His Silence,” and features a nice little sidebar in which he discusses Natasha and Natalie. “Break His Silence” seems a little melodramatic as a headline, since it makes it sound like he hasn’t discussed Natalie Wood since 1981.

It’s great to see Natalie on a magazine cover again, if you’re a fan of hers, you should go pick up this week’s People.
