More Than Love by Natasha Gregson Wagner

Natasha Gregson Wagner, daughter of actress Natalie Wood, has written More Than Love, the story of her mother’s life, her family, and her death. Natasha was 11-years-old when her mother drowned off Catalina Island in 1981, and she has amazing recall of that dark time in her life. Her insight is like no other who has shared Natalie Wood’s biography.

“More than love” was a phrase Natalie and her husband Robert Wagner used instead of the more common “love you” because they thought their connection was more than love. The memoir is a strong defense for Wagner who has been accused from time to time regarding Wood’s death.

Readers get an insider’s look at what it was like to live with famous acting parents in Hollywood. Both blunt and heart-wrenching, the account sets straight the love affair between Wood and Wagner as witnessed by Natasha.

Natasha Gregson Wagner, an actress herself, has written a book that will be a must-have for Natalie Wood fans. I was impressed with the level of writing and insight presented therein.
