Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood’s relationship was one of Hollywood’s most captivating love stories. Their romance began when Wood, then a rising star, and Wagner, already a well-established actor, met in the early 1950s. Their first encounter was at a studio when Wood was just 18 years old. The spark was instant, and they soon became one of Hollywood’s golden couples.
They married in 1957, but their relationship was fraught with challenges. In 1962, they divorced, citing career pressures and personal differences. However, love brought them back together, and they remarried in 1972. Their second marriage seemed stronger, filled with renewed commitment and love.
They had a daughter, Courtney Wagner, who was born in 1974, and together they formed a blended family with Wood’s daughter, Natasha, from her previous marriage.
The Tragic Night: Natalie Wood’s Mysterious Death
The tragic and mysterious death of Natalie Wood in 1981 remains one of Hollywood’s most perplexing and talked-about cases. On November 29, 1981, Wood, Wagner, and actor Christopher Walken were on Wagner’s yacht, Splendour, near Santa Catalina Island off the coast of California. The events of that night have been subject to much speculation and controversy.
According to initial reports, Wood went missing after having a heated argument with Wagner. Her body was found floating in the water the next morning. The cause of death was initially ruled as accidental drowning, possibly exacerbated by alcohol consumption. However, inconsistencies in the accounts of that night and subsequent revelations have kept the case alive in the public consciousness.
In 2011, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reopened the investigation, citing new information. The coroner amended Wood’s death certificate in 2012 to change the cause of death from “accidental drowning” to “drowning and other undetermined factors,” noting bruises on her body that suggested she might have been injured before she entered the water.
Wagner, now 94, has consistently denied any involvement in Wood’s death. Despite being named a “person of interest” in 2018, he has not been charged, and the case remains unresolved.

The post featured a vintage photograph of the couple in a tender embrace, radiating the love they shared. His caption read:

Woman tries to take her seat on a plane – but she refuses, and what happens next has the internet is divided
Flying is not a pleasant experience for everyone. Some people make sure that before they set off on their trip, they take measures to ensure their comfort. But not everyone is mindful of the same thing.
This woman knew what she required when traveling and did exactly that. However, there were others who did not see it that way…
A woman found herself in a very uncomfortable position both literally and figuratively. She was torn between prioritizing her own comfort over societal expectations. She was faced with a decision; she could either be generous or stand up for her personal space.
She was headed across the country to spend Christmas with her family. She knew when she flew, she needed to be comfortable. Considering her size, she always books an extra seat on a flight. She makes sure to pay extra to ensure her comfort.
Everything went smoothly during the check-in, and she flew by through security and boarding. It was only when she was sitting in her seat that the unpleasant experience began. A woman with her 18-month-old child was sitting next to her. She saw that there was one seat empty and promptly requested that the woman squeeze herself onto one seat so that her toddler could occupy the other one. But seeing as the original occupant had paid for both seats, she refused.
The interaction was gaining attention, and a flight attendant noticed and came by to see what was going on. When the situation was explained to the flight attendant, she asked the woman on whether she could make room for the child, but she politely declined and asserted one again that she had paid in full for both seats.
The flight attendant thankfully understood and instructed the mother to hold her child in her lap as most children that age usually do. But, throughout the journey, the mother made sure to make the woman uncomfortable with dirty looks and passive-aggressive remarks.
Later, the woman wondered whether she had been unfair in this interaction and should have relented and given up her extra seat. She took to Reddit to ask the community on whether she had been wrong.
One person, who was a mother herself and had been in a similar situation wrote, “I’ve taken 9-hour flights with an infant in my arms and shorter flights with a toddler in my lap, who was capable of sitting in his own seat and very much did not want me to hold him. Did it suck? Yes. But it was my problem alone, and as long as my child was under 24 months and I didn’t have to pay for his seat, I chose to hold him. I swear, not all of us parents are this entitled!”
Another person added, “She’s wrong for not buying a seat for her son and assuming someone else would give up a seat they paid for. Odds are she was hoping there’d be extra seats on the flight so she didn’t have to pay and used the lap thing as a loophole.”
“I’d go so far as making a complaint to the airline about their employee supporting another passenger harassing you,” another outraged Redditor wrote.
Another annoyed user said, “You should always do what you can to be as healthy as you can, but being fat isn’t a character flaw or a moral failing. We all have our own challenges in life, and you deserve not to be ashamed of your body and yourself, even if you aren’t currently meeting your goals. If the mom wants an extra seat for her kids, she should have purchased one. She’s not entitled to a seat you purchased, and you don’t need to feel bad for her bad behavior.”
While, some people could also perhaps see the mother’s side in wanting to have a comfortable flight as well. However, had that been important for her, she would have made sure to prioritize getting a seat for her child.
