This article by Miles Mathis proposes that actress Natalie Wood faked her death in 1981. Mathis argues that Wood, whose real name was Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko, was actually Anastasia Romanov, a member of the Russian royal family. He bases this claim on numerous genealogical connections and alleged inconsistencies in Wood’s biography and death details. Mathis suggests that Wood’s family, including her mother Maria Romanov, were involved in a long-standing deception originating from Russia. He highlights alleged links between Wood’s family and European nobility, including the Romanovs, Hamiltons, and Stuarts, suggesting her privileged background facilitated her entry into Hollywood.
Mathis criticizes mainstream sources, biographers like Suzanne Finstad, and officials like coroner Thomas Noguchi for perpetuating a false narrative. He points to the supposed similarities between Wood and Anastasia Romanov, the alleged inconsistencies in Wood’s mother’s birth year, and the shared middle name “Nikolaevna” as evidence. Mathis also speculates that Wood’s “death” was a staged event to allow her to retire from public life and protect her Hollywood legacy. He further suggests that many other prominent figures, including Amelia Earhart, Sharon Tate, John Belushi, William Holden, Marilyn Monroe, and Robert F. Kennedy, also faked their deaths. Mathis also touches on alleged Big Tech and military interference in search results and research.
