Publisher's Synopsis
Taking the reader from their early years working under the old Hollywood studio system, to the final, shattering hours before Natalie Wood's life mysteriously ended, "Natalie and R.J." brings the magic and the madness of these legendary lovers brilliantly alive. Natalie, the child star of "Miracle on 34th Street", spotted R.J. for the first time when he was a handsome eighteen-year-old whose mentors included Gary Cooper and Clark Gable. Their first marriage was a tempestuous one, torn apart by gossip columnists and Natalie's sensational liaison with Warren Beatty. They were divorced and their subsequent marriages were doomed relationships. They remarried and, amid career jealousies, extramarital affairs and a painful suicide attempt by Natalie, there existed a love that knew no bounds.
