My first crush was actress Natalie Wood after I saw her in a musical called “Gypsy” during my late middle school years. I was way too painfully shy to deal with real girls at that time in my life. She was the most beautiful actress ever.
She went on to live a very troubled life with multiple marriages that ended with her drowning off Catalina Island near Los Angeles. To this day, it remains a mystery as to what happened that night.
She died on November 29, 1981 at the age of 43.
