I am Natasha Gregson Wagner and my mom

was Natalie Wood special memories shared

by her daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner

in a new HBO documentary Natalie Wood

what remains behind filled with

never-before-seen video and intimate

stories what was it like to look back on

those to see those in some cases for the

first time in many years a lot of those

movies we haven’t seen at all because

they had just been in this box for 18 16

millimeter the biggest thing for me is

that it just reminded me that I didn’t

dream the memories of my childhood all

that really happened

her favorite fragrance was jungle

gardenia so she always wore jungle

gardenia this is a story of family this

is a love story

Natasha’s childhood in the 1970s saw her

mother remarrying her first husband

actor Robert Wagner Natasha

sitting down on camera with her beloved

stepfather now 90 when you and mommy got

back together she was a mom and you were

a dad that’s right and you guys had had

10 years but

so had you both really grown up I think

so you know when we were younger we were

very interested in our careers what was

it like to ask them about the last night

of your mother’s life it was you know my

heart beating a bit because obviously he

and I have spoken about that but never

on camera for their idyllic family life

together had been shattered in November

of 1981 when her mother was found

drowned off the coast of Catalina near

la after a late night on a boat with

Wagner and actor Christopher Walken when

he goes over what that night was what do

you think he regrets he regrets that she

died you know to me what the the culprit

that night was was the alcohol had that

not been a factor I think maybe things

would have turned out a little

differently but I feel closure about

that night I’m hoping that with the

documentary they can focus on her life I

think if she were alive today she’d be

on the forefront of equal pay for women

he’d be on the forefront fighting for

equal rights for the LGBTQ community

she was so ahead of her time ways

tomorrow we’ll have more with Natasha

how the memory of her childhood gave her

just what she needed to endure and to

find happiness well hey there GMA fans
