Natalie Wood Biography

For anyone like me who is interested in Golden Era Hollywood, please watch the Biography Channel. They have biographies of stars from Old Hollywood and not so old. Recently I watched Natalie Wood's biography. I must admit was horrified by her mother! Her mother tore the wings off a butterfly just to make Natalie (whose real name is Natalia Zacharenko) cry real tears for a screen test. Unbelievable! So sad.

Well, I must admit that I am not up to date on my star trivia as I should be. I didn't know that Natalie Wood's singing voice was edited and replaced by another singer in West Side Story. To Natalie's credit though, she did get a chance to sing in the film Gypsy (where she played Rose Lee). In Gypsy, Natalie Wood's character stands up to her mother!

To those interested, I'll post a picture of the replica pendant Natalie Wood wore in West Side Story. To see the full Natalie Wood Collection, please log onto LorisHollywoodJewelry.com There are about 40 star collections on the site. I find the history of each star and jewelry piece interesting so did my best to include some information about who, when and where the jewelry was worn.

Thank you for your interest.
