Natalie Wood ‘raped by film boss, aged 16’

- BY JESSICA BOULTON

FILM star Natalie Wood was “raped for hours” by a Hollywood executive when she was 16, her sister says.

Lana Wood alleges a “powerful” man attacked her in Los Angeles at a work meeting while she and her mum waited outside for hours in a car.

Lana, 72, then eight, said she was half-asleep in the back and heard Natalie and her mum “talking heatedly in undertones” on the trip back home.

She claimed the family didn’t report the attack to save Natalie’s career.

Lana spoke out in a podcast series Fatal Voyage: The Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood.

The West Side Story star was found dead in the sea in 1981, aged 43, after a boat trip with her husband Robert Wagner.
