Yes, thank you Mr. Redford, for sharing your fondest memories of our Natalie Wood in such a sweet and sincere way.

What was her rating?

You didn't find the connection between Redford and Wood believable, and yet you still thought the movie was romantic? That's good writing!

It is difficult to be but if she were alive she would be eighty-two years old in August. I had mine in May.

Also "Love With The Proper Stranger" with McQueen! She was just beautiful in everything!!

I so agree. I would love to watch that movie again.

Frances James. I agree, n that movey was one of my faves.

Really beautiful, moving film and Natalie Wood was wonderful. One of my favourite films.

Respect for Redford. Poignant memories. She chose him for that role, because fundamentally she relied on shared core values and industry insight. Trust. Even jumping in the water when she feared water, speaks volumes. Natalie saw in Redford what we would all later see.... what makes RR still the "go to guy" after all these years. Gorgeous Friendship.

I personally have never heard or read of anyone spinning BS about Natalie. She was loved by so many.

@@usfanlovesjiwoo1978 I have, from the commenter who called Mr. Redford an ass and a phony. What would that say about Natalie Wood's character for choosing such a friend.

Except that Redford is a massive Hollywood liberal.....

@@lisafleming9603 What an assy question. You take the word of one commenter above all the good that has been said about him? There may be a bit of arrogance about him, ther usually is among famous entertainers. but you are not a nice person, and I don't think that I like you

Yes, indeed, I'm certain that's how and why Robert started the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, to give other actors a chance without the big film moguls being involved . . .

The truth of the matter is, we don't know any of these people, and what they're really like; they could well be cold and awful. That being written, YES; you can also infer, by their friendships (quoted by Fer) and their activities (at Sundance, which Carol reminded us of) that there beats a beating heart in at least some of these people, and that in all likelihood Redford's a good guy. Personally, I'm a VERY private person, someone of a recluse, so I'm very sympathetic when a person admits they don't want to be inundated by mobs of strangers. Yet in spite of that supposed attitude, Redford's done a lot of good for the industry and the nation too, I shouldn't wonder.

True..so true

He’s an ensemble actor.

Redford was married to Lola though

Redford has no patience for fans either, meaning he hates everybody

So scary that her one fear would end her life .... She must have been so terrified in her last moments

Me too.

@@JazzKeyboardist1 Robert Redford, to be perfectly honest, isn't exactly a patient, endearing man. He is famous for the callous way he has always treated his fans...and pretty much anyone whom he isn't required to deal with professionally. I have always wondered if that's the real reason that he didn't do more directing, since IMHO he is vastly more talented in his directorial skills than Clint Eastwood who has enjoyed huge successful as a director. I also think that Robert Redford is VASTLY more talented and versatile as an actor than Clint Eastwood ever was.

JazzKeyboardist1 Like you fucking know.

knowzmyname Yes, just saw that movie--it is amazing how - in the 2nd half - her eyes did most of the talking. Truly an artistic genius...also she was one of the few to know how to break out of the child star image...it wasn't easy, but she knew what she had to do.

I was spellbound with this movie.

Truely breath taking. Her eyes alone could hypnotize you.

And everyone assumes that blonds are the most desirable (not that I don't love blonds). Orson Welles talked with her several times when she was a little girl on neighboring stage sets and he said that she was so intelligent and mature in her attitude that it frightened him.

Dame Natalie was in a movie with Orson - her first real movie. He said she was devastatingly talented - better than Liz Taylor

And grew more beautiful with time.

One of the most beautiful women that came out of Hollywood.

She most certainly was!

❤️❤️❤️

I'm sure Redford would have known to stay out of the way for his own safety...thelifeandtimesofhollywood.com/exclusive-an-explosive-new-biography-reveals-the-secret-that-almost-destroyed-natalie-wood/

Me too, spirit.

Elissa Schornstein he may have been married.

True.

Redford was married at the time

maybe and maybe not, sometimes you can't escape your destiny. When your time is up, you have to go.

Agreed.

Yep.

one of my all time favorites! they had chemistry... two such beautiful people

No they had no romance. Redford was best man at her second wedding

God what woman in their right mind wouldn't want to have an affair with Redford, are you Kidding, the most handsome man of his time, wow OMG.

@@pcole5168 Yes, I agree! Robert Redford is so handsome! He works on environmental issues also.

yes she sure was. my cousin looks like her

@sara ben i think shes gorgeous

Yes, I was wishing they had been married to each other as I was watching this. If it had been, we would still have her today. And yes, their children would have been beautiful, although her daughter, Natasha looks a lot like Natalie and she is almost as beautiful as her Mom. :)

In reality, Redford is a pock marked person who uses make up. I saw him in person n was a stoned by his appearance. Smoke n mirrors.

HEY...immature...child......does this mean your kids are ugly because you are? what a stupid way to think...and who in their right mind ever thinks such a thing...you ought to have been a priest...sicko

Christ, that's dumb.

@@deboraholsen2504 I agree but, Natalie married another gorgeous guy, Robert Wagner and they had a daughter. I think she mostly looked like R.J.

I always thought she was more beautiful then Liz Taylor who was not a slouch herself, but I always thought Natalie Wood, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly were the most beautiful actresses.

She was the most beautiful I think .lights camera action

@@usfanlovesjiwoo1978 Audrey Hepburn had beautiful eyes, but her figure was too boyish. She had almost no curves to her body, huge feet and a neck like a giraffe. Natalie had a unique figure in that she was very petite yet curvaceous, and her ENTIRE face was utterly gorgeous, whereas only Hepburn's eyes were beautiful. Liz Taylor's was short, and had short, stocky legs, a short waist that got quite thick once she got past her late thirties and her body was HAIRY. Liz had to constantly shave her legs, armpits and I'm told even her arms, otherwise he was covered in thick, black hair. Once she got to forty, I have also heard that she started having a problem with facial hair too. Grace Kelly was probably one of the most feminine women ever to grace the screen, but-in all honesty-I have seen countless actresses who were vastly better-looking than her.

She definitely was beautiful, but so was Ann Margret. I had a schoolboy crush on both of them.

Sophia loren is another 💘💘

words to live by, no doubt.

Cliff Trainor ❤️

Roger Martin and just what was elvis?!? a make tramp!

Oh yes she did

Uh, you got that BACKWARDS. Natalie DUMPED elvis. She said he was the biggest mama's boy she'd ever met. No way she would be in a relationship where she was always standing in a man's mother's shadow.

She found Elvis boring.

Yes, This Property is Condemned was a great movie. It has been mainly ignored and underrated. I have never been able to understand that.

@@TheKASOT I saw it so many times growing up. To this day my favorite film.

I agree....I would have hated seeing Natalie in that role...MTM was perfect in that film....

Ahahaha

What do you mean he didnt kill her He chucked her off the freaking boat!!

Robert Wagner did absolutely nothing to save Natalie Wood. He was a jealous man.

@@jeaninemorgan9118 and you was there...saw everything...give me a break...!!!!!!???????😰😰😰😰😰😰

he was already married lol

@@mia.2857 he did absolutely nothing to save her when she was in the water screaming for her life when others around heard heard screams also

cherished? Redford admits he hates his fans,, funny memory

fuck that wrinkled old bastard i like natalie

*****..So you want Redford to make you squeal like a pig. good one

***** if natalie was alive, she'd be a wrinkled old bitch.

@@searaydrivingguy you're an idiot

This is a good article and BTW so many of Natalie's films were a reflection of the blatant victimization that was going on, I guess back in those days where mass media couldn't share with each other they had to think they could just buy the law with no light on...thelifeandtimesofhollywood.com/exclusive-an-explosive-new-biography-reveals-the-secret-that-almost-destroyed-natalie-wood/
