#14: Natalie Wood
Natalie Wood was one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars of the 1960s, moving gracefully from child actor to serious leading lady. She shined in films like West Side Story, Splendor in the Grass, and Love with the Proper Stranger, blending vulnerability, glamour, and emotional depth that felt deeply modern.

Her personal life was closely followed and often complicated. Natalie’s marriages, especially her on-and-off relationship with Robert Wagner, fascinated the press. Privately sensitive and introspective, she struggled with insecurity despite fame. Her life—and later her tragic death—cemented her as one of Hollywood’s most haunting and enduring figures.
