Title: Natalie Deserves Better
Review: Very disappointing. Lambert presents Natalie as a narcissistic, suicidal sex addict, drug addict, out of control alcoholic. How did she ever manage to make a movie?This disconnected, chaotic account of many less than interesting moments in Natalie's life lacks authenticity. There's too much wild guessing, not enough flow, no sense of the "real" Natalie and what made her tick.On page 337, at the very end of the book, long after reading about her career, her family and her death, Lambert suddenly jumps back to details about her roles in West Side Story, Gypsy and her other films yet again. What happened to the "creative editor" he mentions in his acknowledgements?To add to the general confusion, a costume designer named Donfeld is mentioned on almost every page in the book. This bio could, in fact, be retitled "The Donfeld Story," because it certainly isn't the Natalie Wood story!Save your money, this one is a disaster.
