Film star Natalie Wood has been dead nearly 40 years, but her ghost still casts a long shadow — and it’s going to walk the earth again as her eldest daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, simultaneously releases a new memoir and a new documentary.

Natasha Gregson Wagner is standing by Robert Wagner as rumors continue to swirl around her mother, Natalie Wood‘s, cause of death.

A documentary centered on the death of actress Natalie Wood, spearheaded by her daughter Natasha Gregson-Wagner, will seek to uncover the life of the acclaimed performer and how deeply she was loved by her family who has not forgotten the legacy she left behind. “Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind” is set to be released on May 5 on HBO and will see interviews from Wood’s husband Robert Wagner, Robert Redford and Mia Farrow, according to a press release from the network.

Mart Crowley, the writer ofThe Boys in the Band,the pioneering 1968 play about a group of openly gay and bisexual friends in New York City, has died. He was 84.

Natalie Wood was a movie star for 35 years and she’s now been gone for longer than that, so this fulsome account of her career and life is an entirely welcome arrival. Very much a family-endorsed affair, one prominently populated by her husbands, children and friends, the film inevitably deals directly with her tragic death off Catalina Island in 1981 but adds nothing new to the record in that regard.
