Beginning with the night Natalie Wood went sailing on the family boat with her husband Robert Wagner off the coast of Catalina and never returned, we meet the young Natasha at the age of 11, hearing the news of her mother’s disappearance on the radio while having a sleepover at a friend’s house. From this turning point of profound and shattering loss, Natasha stretches back to tell the story of her cosseted childhood in a warm, bustling family where her mother loved to decorate, entertain, keep ducks in the backyard, and often overprotected her daughters.     An inside look at Natalie’s classic movies—Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel without a Cause, Splendour in the Grass, West Side Story and Bob and Ted and Carol and Alice, among others—More Than  Love also offers a riveting, first-hand portrait of what it is like to experience a Hollywood childhood, where Elia Kazan, known as Gadge, for his love of gadgets, is lounging by the pool, Ruth Gordon is your godmother, and Josh Evans, the son of Ali MacGraw, is your first boyfriend.     As Natasha steps back into the past, looking through the carefully preserved archive of her mother’s letters, notes, and photographs, and comes to terms with her grief, a vivid and magnetic portrait of Natalie Wood emerges —the child star, the young actress, the teen idol, the young wife, mother and eventual hostess extraordinaire. Along the way Natasha comes to terms with her mother’s legacy and her own loss: making her peace, having her own daughter, and forging a strong and independent sense of self.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49618637979921,"sku":"GOR010664329","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50827291328785,"sku":"GOR014088627","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1471195600.jpg?v=1751442992"},{"product_id":"more-than-love-book-natasha-gregson-wagner-9781471195631","title":"More than Love","description":"The intimate, exhilarating, heartbreaking, untold story of Natalie Woods life, death and lasting presence, by her daughter, Natasha.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49654986440977,"sku":"GOR011825563","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735052787985,"sku":"NGR9781471195631","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49961890349329,"sku":"CIN1471195635G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50591290065169,"sku":"GOR014008326","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53077178089745,"sku":"GOR014730788","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1471195635.jpg?v=1750795015"},{"product_id":"more-than-love-book-natasha-gregson-wagner-9781982111182","title":"More Than Love","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe heartbreaking, never-before-told story of Hollywood icon Natalie Wood's glamorous life, sudden death, and lasting legacy, written by her daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMore Than Love \u003c\/i\u003eis a memoir of loss, grief, and coming-of-age by a daughter of Hollywood royalty. Natasha Gregson Wagner's mother, Natalie Wood, was a child actress who became a legendary movie star, the dark-haired beauty of \u003ci\u003eSplendor in the Grass, Rebel Without a Cause, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWest Side Story\u003c\/i\u003e. She and Natasha's stepfather, the actor Robert Wagner, were a Hollywood it-couple twice over, first in the 1950s, and then again when they remarried in the 70s. But Natalie's sudden death by drowning off Catalina Island at the age of forty-three devastated her family, made her stepfather a person of interest, and turned a vibrant wife, mother, and actress into a tragic figure. The events of that weekend have long been a mystery, and despite the rumors, scandalous media coverage, and accusations of wrongdoing, there has never been an account of how the tragedy was experienced by her daughter. For the first time Natasha addresses the questions surrounding that night to clear her beloved stepfather's name. \u003ci\u003eMore Than Love\u003c\/i\u003e begins on the morning after her mother's death in November 1981 when eleven-year-old Natasha hears the news on the radio that her mother's body has been found off the coast of Catalina after her parents had spent the weekend on the family boat, \u003ci\u003eThe Splendour\u003c\/i\u003e. From this profound and shattering loss, Natasha shares her memories of her earliest bonds with her mother; her warm, loving, and slightly chaotic childhood as the daughter of two stars; the lost and confused years of her adolescence; and her halting attempts to move forward as a young woman. Beautifully told, \u003ci\u003eMore Than Love\u003c\/i\u003e is an emotionally powerful tale of a daughter coming to terms with her grief, as well as a riveting portrait of a famous mother and a vanished Hollywood.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49714001674513,"sku":"CIN1982111186G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49931859788049,"sku":"CIN1982111186VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52821404582161,"sku":"CIN1982111186A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1982111186.jpg?v=1750933595"},{"product_id":"more-than-love-book-natasha-gregson-wagner-9781982111199","title":"More Than Love","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"graceful, loving,\" (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e), never-before-told story of Hollywood icon Natalie Wood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e's glamorous life, sudden death, and lasting legacy, written by her daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Natasha Gregson Wagner's mother, Natalie Wood, was a child actress who became a legendary movie star, the dark-haired beauty of \u003ci\u003eSplendor in the Grass\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWest Side Story\u003c\/i\u003e.
