Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind

9pm, Sky Documentaries

From her first major role at the age of eight in the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street, Natalie Wood was hailed as a future Hollywood star, earning three Oscar nominations by the age of 25. Yet her untimely death by drowning at age 43 in 1981 has since been the subject of controversy, with suggestions of assault. This film tells the story of Wood’s life largely through the narration of her daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner, who brings her illuminating filmic presence back to life. Ammar Kalia
