National Enquirer Blind Item

WHAT late ’70s, early ’80s sitcom star went to his grave with a huge secret surrounding the mystery of Natalie Wood’s death? The legendary character actor didn’t want to get involved in the case, but he wasn’t shy about sharing what he knew about that fateful night Natalie drowned off the coast of Catalina Island!

Wait, did he go to his grave with a huge secret or was he not shy about sharing? Can't really be both, right?

Haha tealily! You are so right.

Harry Morgan? Very recently deceased and costarred with Natalie in her first movie. Supposedly, they lived not too far from each other. It might be him.

@tealily: loll!!

@trollslayer: Good guess!

Harry Morgan is an excellent guess. MASH went off the air in 1983.

Lionel Stander he was on Hart To Hart, had that gravely voice..I loved him as a kid.

FrenchGirl said...

they were 4 on the boat (the captain,Wood,Wagner,Walken) so how can he know what happened?

Robert said...

This sounds like it was a secret in the sense that he told everyone BUT the police, and would probably have denied it if confronted by them.

MISCH said...

Maybe Wagner talked about it to a "good Friend" that he knew wouldn't say a word.

I like the Harry Morgan guess too.

Bleu said...

Why is this a blind? If the person is dead, the National Enquirer is free to report that so-and-so went to his grave with a secret about Natalie Wood's death.

ms snarky said...

if it's a well-known "secret," it should be out by now.

Ms Cool said...

I was going to say Max from Hart to Hart, too.

I'll admit that Lionel Stander immediately came to mind, certainly a character actor and having access to Robert Wagner, but I'm not sure Hart To Hart qualified as a sit-com. I think that Harry Morgan died after the Enquirer published this but I could be wrong. Certainly a character actor as well as sit-com star. Frankly the only other name I could come up with was Carroll O'Connor, although I think his sit-com All In The Family started in the late 60s.

annabella said...

I would guess it wasn't someone connected to wagner, but someone who knew walken and walken confided in him.

just a guess.

Peter Graves had all the secrets back then, didn't he? This might be one that didn't get published in his book. There was lots and lots of dirt.

timebob said...

well thanks NE just leave us blue balled on what the secret is.

tealily said...

Yeah, don't think it was Harry Morgan anyway -- Dragnet was in the 60s before M*A*S*H.

John Ritter...son of Tex Ritter...old Hollywood connection.

Tha's all I got.

Anotheramy said...

When something happens, NE makes up a blind to fit it.

YourNameHere said...

"John Ritter...son of Tex Ritter...old Hollywood connection."

I was thinking the same thing!

Murphy Brown 2020 said...

I loved Three's Company to pieces, but John Ritter wasn't a character actor -- that is, he wasn't an actor who seamlessly inhabited tons of different roles. He's still mostly known for portraying Jack Tripper.

I still think "legendary character actor" would be either Harry Morgan or Lionel Stander. O'Connor's an interesting guess, tho.

Martin said...

How about Norman Fell, Mr. Roper from Three's Company?

Andy Kaufman.
