This amazingly despicable website came to my notice recently. I am still looking at the posts, and with each one I feel more disgusted that this is something that anyone can spend their time on. Some of you might think that the internet is still the wild west, and that anything goes... including lies and slander, but that is not quite true these
days... And I am very surprised that you people feel so free to conjecture, lie, and gossip about a total stranger and her relatives.

I have known Lana Wood and her family for many, many years, and they are some of my closest friends. There is no way I could read the ugly comments regarding these dear people, who have had more than their fair share of heartache, and stay silent.

Lana is probably the most truly kind people that I have ever known. She doesn't see the negative side of people, unless it is forced upon her. And she still continues to be nice. I have read in just a few threads that she is mentally ill, a thief, and in some way responsible for her own sister's death, simply by not being near a phone.
The cruelty of these remarks hurts ME, and I can imagine how it makes her feel, but none of you will EVER know....because you don't know her. Yet somehow it is worth it to you to make these public comments. As if she deserves these lies to be spread about her, a totally innocent person who lost a sister, many years ago.

I lost a sister in a car accident, and my husband lost his brother in a boating accident, not unlike Natalie's.....yet we are lucky enough to not be bombarded for the rest of our lives by ugly comments and gossip, to ruin our memories and never
let us forget the horror of those days.. I wish Lana could be given that bit of common decency, as well .

Lana is NOT mentally ill by any stretch of the imagination, and I have never seen her be anything but brave and calm in the face of this kind of mental torture. She is not a thief, on the contrary, she is one of the most honest people you will ever meet. She is CERTAINLY not responsible in any way for her sister's death, and believe me....if anyone even intimated that I was responsible for my sister's death, I would never be as gracious and kind as she is! That sort of conjecture is amazingly cruel, and I can't believe that some people don't realize this.

Evan has been given many challenges in her young life, and has bravely faced each one. She is a wife, a mother of three gorgeous children, and a loyal friend. Eddie is a gentle, hard working family man. Neither of them have any connection to the tragedy that is kept alive on this board, and they are certainly not drug addicts. I would think that people, even those without the smallest amount of morality and ethics, would have the sense to not slander innocent people in public. If not because of a sense of decency, then at least for your own self preservation....this kind of thing is just as illegal on the net as it is anywhere else. And this family has never done anything to any one of you....please, don't forget that fact.

You can justify your ugly comments about Natalie by saying that she was a public figure, if that helps you sleep at night....but the rumors and lies spread about these other people can not so easily be explained away.

And, because I have to...I want to say a little bit about the God that is so often mentioned here. I am just guessing, but I don't believe that He would agree with any of this. I think that any judgement of anyone responsible for Natalie's death will be done elsewhere, not on an internet bulletin board or a book written strictly to snsationalize a tragedy, once again. I think it takes a lot of guts to go after innocents while throwing around the name of God. If I remember correctly, that is something He frowns on. I can not even fathom where the sport is in hurting the family
of a movie star that has been gone for 26 years. Please let Natalie rest in peace, and let her family live in peace.

Well said and thank you for saying it!
I feel badly for Lana's grandson who was trying to do a project about Natalie and came face to face with what his Grandmother has had to deal with since her sister died. Very sad...

Thank YOU for responding! I did want to point out that it is not everyone on this board that makes such cruel comments, I don't want everyone to think it is about them. Some people have been very nice, and supportive of the family, and I am grateful for that.

But yes, as much as Lana has had to accept that this is, unwittingly, part of her life, there is no reason to continue it on generation after generation. It is just so unnecessary and wrong.....and I really hope that someday it will stop. But, thanks again for being so understanding.
