Born on July 20, 1938, Natalie was only 43 when she drowned. She went from child star to glamor girl, the sweetheart of the boomer generation. There was something about Natalie that made you want to protect her. She made over 50 movies. The three that appealed to me are West Side Story, Gypsy and Inside Daisy Clover. Ironically, Natalie had a stage mother in real life, not unlike the the role she played as stripper Gypsy Rose Lee. Natalie had a date with Elvis but ended up twice with Robert Wagner. There is a clip in this bio in which she mentions her fear of water. To this day, Natalie's sister Lana maintains that Wagner knows more about the drowning than he lets on. Natalie's bio was shown on the A&E Channel.
