Natalie Wood

A literal case of being at the right place at the right time, Natalie Wood first gained the attention of a couple of film crew members working on a project in her hometown. This eventually led to her start as a child actress, debuting at four years old on the 1943 film Happy Land. Since then, she has appeared on other notable films such as Rebel Without a Cause, Splendor in the Grass, Gypsy, and West Side Story.

Besides acting, Natalie was also a mother of two kids. Her eldest daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, also followed in the West Side Story star’s footsteps. Debuting with the 1992 film Fathers & Sons, Natasha eventually had the chance to work on other projects like Mind Ripper, Urban Legend, and Vampires: Los Muertos. With that said, she also recently spent some investment money as a producer on the 2020 documentary about her mother, titled Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.
