This was a very believable and very well done biographical movie. Reading that Mr. Bogdanovich, the movie's director, personally knew many of the real-life characters I assume the actors chosen for "The Mystery of Natalie Wood" must have been hand picked. Each portrayal was like watching and hearing the real person, I've never come across that before. To me this is what brought the story powerfully to life. Using the technique of having a family member or friend tell part of the story of the life of the celebrity, that the cable show "Biography" uses, was a very nice touch indeed. I grew up with the image of Miss Wood everywhere in my life...movies, TV, magazines, talk shows, and always loved how she carried herself. How she looked. I was 12 years younger...but as a teenager I so wanted to look like her. And now I see how truly strong she was in a life that must have been so much hell at times.
