7 Absolutely Bonkers Things About Old Hollywood Celebrities (4 of 4)

6. Natalie Wood

Natalie Wood’s death remains one of Hollywood’s most enigmatic mysteries. The “West Side Story” star was on a boat trip with her husband, Robert Wagner, when she drowned. Wagner admitted to arguing with her before going to bed. The next morning, Wood was found dead, a mile away from the boat, with bruises and signs of a struggle. Witnesses reported hearing screams, and the boat’s captain later claimed to Wood’s sister that he saw Wagner push her overboard. Another fascinating twist: Christopher Walken, Wood’s co-star, was also on the boat that night.

7. Agatha Christie

Agatha Christie, the queen of mystery writing, created a real-life puzzle in 1926 when she vanished for 11 days. After tucking her daughter into bed, she drove off, and her car was later found abandoned. She left three mysterious letters behind and was eventually found at a spa. She was amnesic and checked in under her husband’s mistress’s name. This incident, believed to be caused by the trauma of her husband’s affair and her mother’s death, remained unexplained, leading to speculation that it might have been a publicity stunt.
