Ok, without reading beyond the headlines of each comment, I was not going to get involved in this one for good reason. StarSong and I have been chatting a lot about CA and where I lived and worked on here since her thread re: Wheel of Fortune. I lived in Burbank, CA back in 1954. I was a nurse at St. Joseph's Hospital which was located directly across the street from Disney Studios, a couple of blocks from NBC TV Studios and a couple of blocks up from that was Warner Brothers. Universal wasn't far away and Republic were also in the area. Scattered about were MGM and Paramount, so you can figure many of my patients were from the industry. Or related to member of said industry. The owner of my apartment house was also a manager of Natalie Wood. We had a swimming pool in the front of the house and I was usually in it. One day, he approached me and asked if I was a life guard. I had a bathing suit with a sewn on junior life guard badge and I informed just what that meant. He asked me if I would teach Natalie to swim. She was deathly afraid of the water, but we had a very shallow end for those who did not swim. I told him that I was not a swimming instructor and that he should hire one, but he seemed to think I could get the basics over to her. She was a teenager at the time and when you reach that age fearful of the water, it is almost impossible to convince someone that it is safe. But, the money was great so, I gave it a try. It did not work as I thought it wouldn't. Further, her mother interfered continuously and this kid was so frightened at one point she nearly drowned me. That did it. Now when all this happened years later, and I read that she stepped out into a smaller boat in Catalina Harbor with a fur coat on no less, I thought, no way. She was either plastered to the gills, or someone threw her out there. I cannot for the life of me see RJ doing this at all. He simply is not the type regardless. But this I do know, if she was not impaired, she did not go off that boat of her own volition. That harbor is rough seas I can tell you. It would even deter me and I am a strong swimmer.
