’48 Hours’ Moves up Hollywood Scandal Special with New Information in Death of Natalie Wood

By Chris Ariens 

With the re-opening of the investigation into the death of actress Natalie Wood, CBS’ “48 Hours” is moving up a primetime special on some of Hollywood’s most notorious scandals, which includes Wood’s 1981 drowning death.

The special, in conjunction with Vanity Fair, was scheduled to air next Saturday, Nov. 26 but is being moved up to tomorrow night.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office will announce what new evidence it has at a news conference this afternoon, but the boat’s captain and Wood’s sister, the actress Lana Wood have said a fight between Wood and her husband Robert Wagner, led to her going overboard on the night of Nov. 29, 1981.
