Natasha : the biography of Natalie Wood / by Finstad, Suzanne,1955-(CARDINAL)734157;
Filmography: pages 389-394.Includes bibliographical references (pages 395-444) and index.Natasha is the haunting story of a vulnerable and talented actress whom many of us felt we knew. We watched her mature on the movie screen before our eyes - in Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel Without a Cause, West Side Story, Splendor in the Grass, and on and on. She has been hailed - along with marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor - as one of the top three female movie stars in the history of film, making her a legend in her own lifetime and beyond. But the story of Natalie endured, of what her life was like when the doors of the soundstages closed, has long been obscured. Natasha is based on years of exhaustive research into Natalie's turbulent life and mysterious drowning in the dark water that was her greatest fear. Through firsthand accounts from many who have never spoken publicly before, Finstad has reconstructed a life of emotional abuse and exploitation, of almost unprecedented fame, great loneliness, poignancy, and loss. Natasha is the definitive biography of Natalie Wood that we've long been waiting for.

Faith stories from the collection More news from Lake Wobegon / [sound recording] : / by Keillor, Garrison.(CARDINAL)160181;
Monologues and compilation of monologues by Garrison Keillor."These days I live in big foreign cities--New York and Copenhagen--but I think about America everyday and imagine a town, an avenue of old frame houses, a boulevard of tall trees, a June night, lawn sprinklers swishing across the grass and popping the flower bushes by the porch. A dog on the porch. Lights behind the curtains. Rock 'n' roll in an upstairs bedroom. Charcoal smoke in the air, a whiff of burgers. A gang of kids skidding around on gravel, giggling. A screen door slaps and a dad marcehs out to the garage. Yard after yard, block after block, every sight and sound and smell utterly familiar. This is the American neighborhood of childhood comfort and fantasy, of teenage ambition, and of the tenderness and misery and splendor and comedy of marriage. Movies and novels of brutality and greed may sell a zillion copies, but they're irrelevant to the life of this avenue, which is based on faith, hope, love, and humor. -- Garrison Keillor"--Container.

Natalie Wood : the complete biography / by Finstad, Suzanne,1955-author.(CARDINAL)734157;
Includes filmography, bibliographical references and index.Natalie Wood has been hailed alongside Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor as one of the top three female movie stars in film history. We watched her mature on the movie screen before our eyes in classics such as Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel Without a Cause, Splendor in the Grass, and West Side Story. But the story of what she endured, of what her life was like when the doors of the soundstages closed, had long been obscured. Suzanne Finstad conducted nearly four hundred interviews with Natalie Wood's family, close friends, legendary costars, lovers, film crews, and virtually everyone connected to her death. She reveals painful truths in Wood's complex relationships with James Dean, Frank Sinatra, Warren Beatty, and, of course, Robert Wagner. In this updated edition, Finstad will share her explosive findings from the last two decades. With her unprecedented access to the LAPD's "Murder Book," ignored by the original investigators, and new witnesses who have never spoken publicly, Finstad uncovers what really happened to Natalie Wood on that fateful boating trip in 1981 with Wagner and Christopher Walken.
