OK, her sister, not her daughter. But if she has proof that a forcible rape was committed on her sister, why wait until the perpetrator is dead? At that point both her sister and perp would be dead and neither can confirm nor refute her claim. And she would have to have some pretty good, irrefutable and actionable evidence to make such a claim, and if she has that, there is no reason to wait until the perp (presumably Kirk Douglass) is dead in order to do so.
I didn’t know. Maybe she feels if she speaks out now the repercussions will be worse than if she did so after he’s dead. Maybe the whole story has been distorted in the retelling. Maybe Lana will have the info released after SHE dies, not the rapist.
Do a web search using the terms Natalie Wood raped. Every hit mentions his name. Robert Downey Jr is mentioned as repeating the story. Another page has info possibly debunking that Douglas was the perp. All I can say is that it is a long standing rumor that he was the one.
