"Stardom is merely a byproduct of behaving. I don't believe being a celeb is a good enough reason behind existing." (Natalie Real wood) A lot of printer ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential statistics, but how a lot of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get swept up to rate on the lives of America's most important women and men in enough time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Few actresses have ever gotten the kind of career start that Natalie Real wood did during the 1950s. After showing up in film and on TV as a kid, Real wood broke out by showing up in the typical Rebel With out a Cause alongside James Dean in 1955, even though she was still just 15 yrs . old. She acquired an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the role, one of three Academy Award nominations she'd rack up prior to the age of 25. That included starring in Splendor in the Turf (1961), West Side Storyline (1961), and Gypsy (1962). Completely, she was in over 50 films. Considering that she was a successful actress for several decades, it's no surprise that Wood produced a lot of press during her career, and her personal life in particular was tabloid fodder. When she committed star acting professional Robert Wagner, they had one of Hollywood's most well-known & most successful relationships. But Real wood was also notorious for counting on psychoanalysts, to the level that she'd become closely reliant on constantly having access to one. People were also captured by surprise when Real wood retired after the beginning of her daughter in 1970, and regrettably, that has added to the fact that she is best kept in mind today for her mysterious drowning in 1981.
