Natalie Wood Fan

I am a massive Natalie Wood fan and i found this book a lovely dedication to her memory. It is full of wonderful photographs starting from her childhood and working up to adulthood. This book is a definite must have for any Natalie fan and it's nice to have a book remembering all her glorious moments, her special and everlasting talent and reminding us of how smart, clever and beautiful she was.

Great Photographs!

I bought this book when it first came out 20 years ago. I would not trade it for anything! Nicken's has done great justice to Natalie. A wonderful book......

Amazing Natalie

When one thinks of Natalie Wood, tragedy comes to mind. Yet, Natalie lived an incredible life of love and good fortune. Natalie Wood: A Biography In Photographs is a testimony to that life. This book includes pictures from Natalie at every stage in her life. Regarded as one of the most beautiful women in screen history, Natalie began her career as a mere child. Her first well known role was the child in Miracle on 42nd Street. She could have been typecast as a child actor but instead broke out into a tumultous role in Rebel Without a Cause. This book contains several candid and studio pictures of her adolescent career. During this time period, she met Robert Wagner who she later married twice. Photos of their weddings and life together are a main focus of this book. Natalie's other marriage and children are photographed with her as well. Throughout Natalie's career, her look changed considerably. There is a color section showing her progression of age and fashion sense. Natalie matured onscreen unlike anyone else. She had a very successful career that peaked its highest in the 1960s. This pictorial biography shows many of the roles that made her the movie star she continues to be today.
