The Natalie Wood/Kirk Douglas/Robert Wagner connections

Now, let's revisit Himmmm's connections with Natalie Wood and her family.

TG had Courtney Brooke Wagner (Natalie's other daughter) on his MySpace gallery (which was put together around 2006-2007): Courtney as a baby in the arms of her mother, Courtney in her kitchen, Courtney with Anita, Courtney w/ "Daddy Robert". These pictures had been lifted from the web, while a couple of them were supposed to be candid pictures taken by TG himself. It was one of the few celebrities that TG highlighted on this page. He had a few genuine pictures of musicians, mostly taken backstage at festivals where he may have been some opening act at the time he wanted to have a musical career. But he photoshopped himself into a picture with Cornell to make it look as if they were playing together, and the comments on Courtney Wagner imply that they were close friends.

It shows that he was obsessed with Courtney Wagner years before he posted the Natalie Wood story (and even before he started to be "Himmmm")

Similarly, posting Natasha Gregson Wagner's phone number to establish their connections was pure bullshit. It was her landline number, and it could be found in the white pages, as Gregson Wagner hadn't thought of unlisting it.

So, we see that TG/Himmmm lied at least twice over his connections to the Wagner-Wood family.

So, it's a safe guess to say that TG/Himmmm was obsessed with Natalie Wood, to the point he would make frequent claims that he knew her daughters personally. While failing to notice he was threatening the privacy of at least one of them.

He may have felt connections to Natalie's tragic story, up to the point he inserted himself (or one of his personas) into the narrative, rather clumsily I must say. He loved playing white knight for her, expanding on two preexisting stories, the one about Kirk Douglas raping her and the one about her death.

It looks like that there were previous rumors to the rape story. Douglas was obviously no saint, Natalie Wood's mother also had a reputation for pimping her daughter to producers and directors to get her parts. It's actually plausible that Douglas had sex with an underage Natalie Wood. Himmmm's version was naturally the most graphic take on the story, depicting Douglas as a blood-thirsty monster.
I must also add that Douglas being a monster appeals to many conservatives. He's also mentioned in the case of the starlet who vanished overnight in the fifties and was never found back. Douglas was a prominent liberal, who may have liked to take too much credit for things, but who notoriously fought against the black list in the early sixties, while a few studio bosses were still afraid to acknowledge they were working with blacklisted writers.

For the death story, the main two sources that Himmmm built on were Lana Wood (who wasn't on the ship) and the yacht captain. Lana Wood, whose entire career relied on her connections to Natalie (apart from her turn as Plenty O'Toole in Diamonds Are Forever), has made allegations for decades, while the captain is regularly supposed, according to the press, to make a new testimony that would reopen the case (which hasn't happened so far).

There was later another story on CDAN (from Himmmm or another source?) that claimed that the local district attorney was about to reopen the case and indict Wagner. Which would make very little political sense, as Wagner was already 88 or 89 and can hire attorneys talented enough to delay any trial for years, resulting eventually in a waste of taxpayers money just to sentence one elderly actor over a notoriously muddy case from 1983.

Besides, let's compare Himmm's take on Wagner's guilt and Wood's two daughters knowing what happened:



...to Natasha Gregson Wagner's own words about the documentary she has put together about Natalie's life.

You can notice that it's entirely at odds with Himmmm's take. Why would Gregson Wagner insist on her stepfather giving an exhaustive retelling of that night's events, just to cover his tracks, while it had already nearly destroyed her or her sister?
