Tragedy struck on Thanksgiving weekend in 1981 when the body of Oscar-nominated actress Natalie Wood was found washed ashore on Catalina Island in California.

The West Side Story star was vacationing on a yacht with her husband Robert [RJ] Wagner, friend Christopher Walken and boat captain Dennis Davern.
