I always wondered if Christopher Walken was being sincere with his comments regarding what happened that night.
He brushes this topic off in a fairly terse manner; I can’t tell if it’s because he is sick of explaining the same mundane (albeit distressing) details, or if it’s because there is more to the story.
> “I will always believe there is more to the story of what happened to her the night she drowned,” Tamblyn, 89, writes in the book. “I was no stranger to grief by this point, but my experience didn’t make the loss any easier, and I was brought low for a time.”
> Tamblyn said that while he and Wood “hadn’t kept in close touch” after he left Hollywood for a time to focus on fine arts in Topanga Canyon, “she had remained like a sister to me” since they’d starred together in West Side Story 20 years earlier.
