Los Angeles • Nearly four decades after his wife drowned, investigators are now calling 87-year-old actor Robert Wagner a “person of interest” in the death of Natalie Wood.
Since 1981, mystery and speculation has swirled around the death of the 43-year-old actress who had been nominated for three Academy Awards and appeared in the films “West Side Story” and “Rebel Without a Cause.”
Investigators initially ruled it an accident but reopened the case in 2011 to see whether Wagner or anyone else played a role after the boat’s captain said he heard the couple arguing the night of her disappearance.
