Summary

Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour is the long-awaited, detailed account of events that led to the mysterious death of Hollywood legend Natalie Wood off the coast of Catalina Island on November 28, 1981. It is a story told by a haunted witness to that fateful evening: Dennis Davern, the young captain of Splendour, the yacht belonging to Wood and husband Robert Wagner. Davern initially backed up Wagner's version of that evening's events through a signed statement prepared by attorneys. But Davern's guilt over having failed Natalie termented him. Davern reached out to his old friend, Marti Rulli and little by little, at his own emotional pace, he revealed the details of his years in Wood and Wagner's employ, of the fateful weekend that Natalie died and of the events following her death that prevented him from telling the whole story - until now.

The Real Story At Last.

It has been shrouded in mystery until now.
A must read. Dennis Darven has been so brave to face the courage of his convictions.

If you remember Natalie Wood, This will shock you.

This is a well written book, I can remember when the news broke of Natalie Wood falling overboard and the mystery of how she became to be in the water. Even at the age of 15, I wanted to know what had happened to such a beautiful lady. 30 years later this book reminded me that my questions remained unanswered. I was not prepared for what was told, although unbelievable and could itself be a Hollywood plot, only three people were on board at the time. This is the story of what one of those people witnessed with no reason to lie. Once you have heard what they have to say you will be shocked.
