Late Friends star Matthew Perry was very open about his feelings for one of his co-stars. He spoke of his “elaborate fantasies” about them running away together in his autobiography, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. However, did the object of his affection feel the same way? Did they date?
Matthew Perry was head over heels for one of his co-stars, did they date?
In his autobiography Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, Matthew Perry admitted his deep feelings for one of his co-stars. This big-name star and the former Friends star had a short but sweet dalliance.
Perry wrote that he “fell madly in love” with co-star Valerie Bertinelli when they played siblings in the short-lived 1990 CBS sitcom Sydney. The series ran for one season on CBS from March through June 1990.
In the book, the actor claimed Bertinelli was “clearly in a troubled marriage” with her rock star husband,...

Natasha Gregson Wagner says a poignant thing about her movie star mother, and her all-too tragic death, at the beginning of Laurent Bouzereau’s Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind. “Since then there’s been so much speculation on how she died that it’s overshadowed her life’s work and who she was as a person.” It’s a brief but sudden flash into the perspective of living with a lifelong media whirlwind of speculation and insinuation. It also is clearly Gregson Wagner’s pained personal truth.
Yet what’s both interesting and ultimately frustrating about Bouzereau’s new documentary, which just premiered on HBO, is that it seems to immediately concede this point by framing its narrative as being more concerned with how she died—and how that death has been manipulated by the press—than with how she lived. And as someone who grew up on Natalie Wood’s movies and total legacy,...

Since Natalie Wood’s untimely death in 1981, theories have swirled around what happened and if anyone could’ve been responsible for her drowning. Now, her daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, decided to take control of the narrative around her mother’s death in Laurent Bouzereau’s new documentary, “Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind.”
“In 2012, I became a mom, so it started to become very important to me that I take a little bit of a hold of the narrative and diffuse some of the noise and shine a light on all of the amazing qualities about my mom that not everybody knows,” Wagner told TheWrap’s Beatrice Verhoeven at the Sundance Film Festival, where the film premiered.
Bouzereau says he was approached by Wagner to do a documentary about her mother, and he was astounded at how much material there was to work with.

This week HBO takes us on a journey down the star-studded history of Hollywood. No, we’re not talking about the fact and fiction mix of Ryan Murphy’s new streaming miniseries. It’s a look at one particular star, but it’s not a “bio-pic” similar to last year’s big award winners Rocketman and Judy, though it owes a bit to the latter. No mimics or makeup are involved here since it’s a documentary chocked full of feature film clips, archival interviews and little-seen family home movies and photos. She began as a child star, but her career blossomed as she matured, so it’s not the old “rags to riches back to rags” melodrama. But her story ends far too early in tragedy. We don’t see her on lots of merchandise, nor any campy imitators even though she starred in several iconic cinema classics. Unfortunately,...

Once she reached her 40s and became a mom herself, Natasha Gregson Wagner had a newfound desire to rediscover her mother Natalie Wood — and protect her legacy.
Part of that was addressing the mystery of how she ended up in the waters off of Catalina Island in the early morning hours of Nov. 29, 1981, and addressing the painful speculation that Wood’s husband, Robert Wagner, the man who raised her and her sisters Katie and Courtney, had failed to save his wife and bore some kind of responsibility.

If you’re a Natalie Wood fan, there is so much to appreciate about her — her flashing eyes, the no-nonsense immediacy of her acting. But if you ask what made her special, I think it had something to do with how she fused sensuality with a kind of sun-dazed warmth. It’s tempting to compare her to Donna Reed or Doris Day: middle-class beauties who enveloped you in their wholesomeness. Yet I also think of Natalie Wood the way I think of Elizabeth Taylor or Ann-Margret — as someone who could set a scene on fire.
I first discovered her, when I was eight years old, in a late-’60s trifle called “Penelope,” in which she played a kleptomaniac who kept changing costumes and identities. I was too young to realize that the movie was a goofy piece of late-studio-system whimsical trash, but I was so captivated by Wood that...

Drama has followed West Side Story star Natalie Wood's daughter Courtney Wagner since Natalie's death in 1981. And the tumult shows no signs of stopping now that Natalie's husband and Courtney's father, Austin Powers actor Robert Wagner, has been named a person of interest in the tragedy. Courtney is the only biological child of the two Hollywood stars, but she hasn't spoken out about the investigation into her father. In 2012, Courtney told FOX411 about the aftermath of that fateful night. "I remember waking up to my sister [Natasha Gregson Wagner, Natalie's daughter with Richard Gregson] screaming, and luckily I had a nanny that I was very close to that was by my side," she said. "There were all these people in the living room, and my dad told me I wasn't going to see my mom again. I was just trying to make sense of it, and Dad was asking...

In 1981, the world was shocked and saddened to hear that actress Natalie Wood had drowned after spending the weekend on a yacht with her husband Robert Wagner and her Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken. At the time, her death was ruled an accident, but the circumstances surrounding the incident were suspicious — so much so that the case was reopened in 2011, with nearly 100 new witnesses coming forward. Soon after, her cause of death was changed from "accidental drowning" to "drowning and undetermined factors." It's these new witnesses' stories that prompted Lieutenant Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to come forward, stating that they are now considering her husband a person of interest. The couple around 1965. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) "Do we have enough to make an arrest at this moment? No,” the Sheriff's Department's Feb. 3 statement read.

Nearly 40 years after Natalie Wood died under mysterious circumstances, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s investigators say her widower Robert Wagner is “more of a person of interest” in the case.
The Hollywood star was married to Wagner from 1972 until her death.
Though Wagner has largely remained tight-lipped about Wood’s death, he’s opened up in recent years about his family’s heartbreak.
“We were all so shattered by the loss, and we were hanging on to each other,” Wagner told People in 2016 for a cover story on her passing. “You just take it moment by moment and hope that it gets better.

For many years after the death of her mother in 1981, Natalie Wood’s daughter Natasha Gregson Wagner says Mother’s Day “was a sad and difficult day.”
“For the first 20 years, Mother’s Day was really hard,” says Gregson Wagner, who was 11 when her mom died in a boating accident off California’s Catalina Island. “And then they got easier after my daughter Clover was born.”
For Gregson Wagner, who launched the fragrance line Natalie last year in honor of her mother, it wasn’t until she became a mom herself to her daughter, now 4, that the day became joyful again.

Natalie Wood movies: From loving Warren Beatty to stripping like Gypsy Rose Lee Three-time Academy Award nominee Natalie Wood, one of the biggest Hollywood stars of the ’60s, is Turner Classic Movies’ "Summer Under the Stars" performer today, August 18, 2013. TCM is currently showing Elia Kazan’s Splendor in the Grass (1961), a romantic drama written for the screen by playwright William Inge (Picnic, Bus Stop). Wood is fine as a young woman who loses her emotional balance after she’s seduced and abandoned by the son (Warren Beatty) of a wealthy family in Kansas shortly before the Great Depression. For her efforts, she received a Best Actress Oscar nomination. (Sophia Loren was that year’s winner, for the Italian-made Two Women.) (See “TCM movie schedule: Natalie Wood Hot Hollywood Star.” Next in line is Richard Quine’s feeble attempt at screwball comedy, Sex and the Single Girl (1964), a movie that promises much more than it delivers,...

Natalie Wood death: From "accidental drowning" to "drowning and other undetermined factors" Natalie Wood died on November 29, 1981. Her body was found floating about one mile from Catalina Island, located just south of Los Angeles County. According to a County coroner’s report publicly released today — though officially revised in June 2012 — at the time of her death Natalie Wood, a three-time Academy Award nominee and the star of the multiple Oscar-winning musical West Side Story, had several bruises on her body that might have been the result of injuries suffered before she entered the water. (See also: "Natalie Wood Death: Sensational Rumors Continue.") [Photo: Natalie Wood ca. 1970.] "With the presence of fresh bruises in the upper extremities in the right forearm/left wrist area and a small scratch in the anterior neck, this examiner is unable to exclude non-accidental mechanism causing these injuries," wrote chief medical examiner Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran.

Richard Gregson was once married to the Hollywood star Natalie Wood. He recalls the terrible night he heard she'd drowned, and the awful decision he faced over who should care for their daughter Natasha
I married the film star Natalie Wood in the spring of 1969 after we'd been together, on and off, for three years. We divorced not much more than a year later. The on-off periods were due mostly to Natalie living in Los Angeles and me living in London. But there were other reasons, emotional ones, that had made our lives together difficult.
She was a big star, beautiful, nearing the height of her fame. I was struggling up the ladder working as an agent for actors, writers and directors. Also we had previous entanglements. I had three children, she had a couple of ex-lovers and a determination to continue her daily visits to her psychiatrist come what may.

Los Angeles homicide detectives are re-opening the investigation into the death of Natalie Wood, reports the AP. The three-time Oscar-nominated actress drowned nearly 30 years on a yacht off Santa Catalina island while boating with her husband Robert Wagner and actor Christopher Walken.
At the time, the death was ruled an accidental drowning; Wood was revealed to have been drinking at the time she drowned. Wood was thought to possibly have been trying to board a dinghy, which was later found in Catalina cover, when she fell into the water and drowned.
The re-opening of the case was prompted by the Los Angeles County sheriff's department receiving new information regarding the trip from the ship's captain, Dennis Davern. Davern was recently interviewed about the incident for a collaboration between Vanity Fair and "48 Hours Mystery," doing a piece on Wood's death. The sheriff's department is holding a news conference Friday (Nov. 18), where...

Gareth Wigan, widely considered a rare gentleman among studio executives, died at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by his family on Saturday morning after a brief illness. He was 78.
During the course of his career, the London-born Wigan, lean and courtly, was involved with such movies as "Star Wars," "All that Jazz," "Chariots of Fire" and "Sense and Sensibility," while working at Fox, the Ladd Company and Sony, where most recently he oversaw local-language productions, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for the studio.
"Gareth was an inspirational and passionate leader. His love of movies and filmmakers was as rare and unique as the brilliant films he championed over the last four decades," Amy Pascal, Sony Pictures co-chairman said.
