Faulty "Wedding Bells" Gossip
Friday, July 19, 2013 at 8:02PM Are you enjoying Natalie Wood Week here at the blog?
Celebrity gossip magazines are not as psychic as they'd like to be...
They were wayyyy off on their suggestive headline here. It would take Warren Beatty another 31 years and at least 300 more women to settle down. And despite the rude headline, Beatty had nothing that Robert Wagner didn't have when it came to Natalie's heart... at least not permanently.
Though it's true he did take over in the year of Natalie's superstar ascendance. RJ and Natalie had separated in 1961 (the year Splendor & The Grass and West Side Story both hit) but they didn't divorce till the same month as the Oscars in 1962 when this was going on...
The Beatty romance was short-lived and reportedly very damaging to Natalie's headspace. (She remarried RJ in 1972.)

They did make a beautiful couple. Oh for the days of the fun old movie mags although that picture of Natalie really does her no favors. At that point in his life I think Warren was incapable of taking a bad picture.
Love the top line on George Maharis and Arrested being in bold. Maybe Mitch Hurwitz got inspiration from this for Season 4 of Arrested Development haha
You're mistaken about her remarriage. She married Richard Gregson in 1969. She had her first daughter with him. It wasn't until she divorced him in 1972 that she and R J remarried.
Matt - you are correct. damn my speedy sorta fact checked typing. I always forget about Gregson!
