On this day, November 29, 1981, actress Natalie Wood tragically drowned off the coast of Catalina Island. Known for her iconic roles in West Side Story, Rebel Without a Cause, and Splendor in the Grass, Wood was one of Hollywood’s brightest stars.

The circumstances surrounding her death have been the subject of much speculation and mystery. Wood had been on a yacht with her husband, Robert Wagner, and co-star Christopher Walken. The events leading up to her drowning remain unclear, and her death was initially ruled an accidental drowning, though the case was later re-examined in 2011, drawing renewed public attention.
