Natalie Wood was a remarkable beauty who appeared in over 56 movies for the silver screen and television and was nominated for numerous Oscars throughout her career. What is improtant, is to remember Natalie's life, and the characters she created on-screen-- the poigant Austrian waif in "Tomorrow is Forever"..... precocious Susan in "Miracle on 34rd Street"..... tender, luminous Maria in "Westside Story".... Judy, the senstive teenager in "Rebel without a Cause"..... brave plucky Angie in "Love with the Proper Stranger"..... vulnerable Deanie in "Splendor in the Grass". The gifts Natalie gave her fans at the expense of her own identity. "Natalie Wood's" her actress alter ego, lives on in movies. What has been lost is Natasha. Its Terrible when someone dies, but this is an inordinately painful. For all the kids, growing up in sub-teen or teenage years, there is always one star who you pick for your very own because you want to be them--Natalie Wood is mine. She always got to do all the "good" things and I loved her for that. "Ootra Vechereem Moodreunaya" as Natalie said at the end of her eulogy for her Fahd. "Now we feel so sad about losing you, as one sometimes feels sad at nightfall. But we will have our morning when our spirits will lift, our sadness will lighten and we will realize we havent really lost you, because your uniqueness to us all will always live in our hearts." "Spakoynee noch, Natasha!" "Feel the gladness of the May! What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind"
