The moment that we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! Today marks the start of The Natalie Wood Blogathon, and in just three days we’ll be celebrating what would have been Natalie’s 80th birthday on July 20th! Below you’ll find all of the entries posted today, July 17th! If you’ve finished your own entry, please comment on this post or on the blogathon’s announcement with a link to your entry. I can’t wait to read all of your wonderful articles in the days leading up to such a momentous occasion this Thursday!
The Wonderful World of Cinema kicks us off with a great write-up about teenagers in the 1950s and Natalie Wood’s role in the iconic Rebel Without A Cause (1955).
The Stop Button discusses one of Natalie’s lesser-known films, A Cry in the Night (1956).
Rick’s Real/Reel Life pens a lovely and informative article on Natalie Wood in This Property is Condemned (1966).
Top 10 Film Lists gives us incredible insight into the Western classic The Searchers (1956).

Hi, Rick’s Reel/Real Life here! i didn’t realize that such a significant birthday was coming up for Natalie! Makes Alva blowing out the candles in ‘This Property is Condemned’ especially touching.
Hope y’all like my essay, I put a lot of research into it!
Cheers,
Rick
