Michael Douglas, a star in his own right, son of Kirk, remains respectful to ALL despite the allegations:

May they both rest in peace.”

That being said, sadly such events may have happened to both Natalie AND her sister, Lana during their time in Hollywood. However, we can never forget it was dear mother, Maria Zakharenko, choosing to deliver her children into the hands of older men, all in a bid for their potential fame and notoriety and mommie’s meal tickets.

“I remember that Natalie looked especially beautiful when Mom and I dropped her off that night at the Chateau Marmont entrance,” alleging that the incident happened in summer 1955, around the time Natalie Wood was filming “The Searchers.” The meeting had been arranged by their mother, Maria Zakharenko, who thought that “many doors might be thrown open for her, with just a nod of his famous, handsome head on her behalf” -

“Stage mother/pimps” still exist today. Kris Jenner peddled her daughter Kim Kardashian’s sex tapes as a ticket to what would be come the entire family’s rise to fame.

According to Dr Robert Hare, a Canadian psychiatrist who wrote the PCL-R, the currently most used test for clinical psychopathy, one of the most salient characteristics of clinical psychopaths is their "warm and friendly personality". Behind Douglas' smile there apparently lurked a monster who understood another monster, the mother, quite well. Ambition. And 'Success'. What a fun place Hollywood must really be...and from the various stories coming out over the years, NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN!

Hollywood, a place full of dirty old men and young women wanting to be famous...

Get in line, take a number: girls, boys, men, and women were abused consistently up to the 70s? 80s? This story is nothing but a witch hunt of dead witches.

Hollywood is a cesspit of smooth talking pretenders, often psychopaths, enriching themselves on the public’s desire for illusion.

Actors pretend for a living - on film set and off.
