Natalie Wood (born Natalie Zacharenko;〔(Natalie Wood's birth name ), californiabirthindex.org; accessed June 24, 2015.〕 July 20, 1938 – November 29, 1981) was an American film and television actress best known for her screen roles in ''Miracle on 34th Street'', ''Splendor in the Grass'', ''Rebel Without a Cause'', ''The Searchers'', and ''West Side Story''. She first worked in films as a child, then became a successful Hollywood star as a young adult, receiving three Academy Award nominations before she was 25 years old. Wood began acting in movies at the age of four and, at age eight, was given a co-starring role with Maureen O'Hara in the classic Christmas film ''Miracle on 34th Street''. As a teenager, her performance in ''Rebel Without a Cause'' (1955) earned her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She starred in the musical films ''West Side Story'' (1961) and ''Gypsy'' (1962), and received Academy Award for Best Actress nominations for her performances in ''Splendor in the Grass'' (1961) and ''Love with the Proper Stranger'' (1963). Her career continued with films such as ''Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice'' (1969). After this, she took a break from acting and had two children, appearing in only two theatrical films during the 1970s. She was married to actor Robert Wagner twice, and to producer Richard Gregson. She had one daughter by each husband: Natasha Gregson Wagner and Courtney Wagner. Her younger sister Lana Wood is also an actress.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0939836/?ref_=nmbio_trv_1/ )〕 Wood starred in several television productions, including a remake of the film ''From Here to Eternity'' (1979) for which she won a Golden Globe Award. During her career from child actress to adult star, her films represented a "coming of age" for both her and Hollywood films in general.〔 ==Early years== Wood was born Natalie Zakharenko〔 in San Francisco, to Russian immigrant parents Maria Stepanovna (née Zudilova; 1912–1996) and Nikolai Stepanovich Zacharenko. As an adult, she stated, "I'm very Russian, you know." She spoke both English and Russian with an American accent. Her father was born in Vladivostok and he, his mother, and two brothers, immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, and later to San Francisco. There, he worked as a day laborer and carpenter. Her paternal grandfather Stepan worked in a chocolate factory in Russia and was killed in street fighting between Red and White Russian soldiers in 1918. Natalie's mother originally came from Barnaul, southern Siberia, but grew up in the Chinese city of Harbin. She described her family by weaving mysterious tales of being either gypsies or landowning aristocrats. In her youth, her mother dreamed of becoming an actress or ballet dancer. She was raised as a Russian Orthodox Christian and remained in the church. Biographer Warren Harris writes that under the family's "needy circumstances", her mother may have transferred those ambitions to her middle daughter, Natalie. Her mother would take Natalie to the movies as often as she could: "Natalie's only professional training was watching Hollywood child stars from her mother's lap," notes Harris. Wood would later recall this time: My mother used to tell me that the cameraman who pointed his lens out at the audience at the end of the Paramount newsreel was taking my picture. I'd pose and smile like he was going to make me famous or something. I believed everything my mother told me. Shortly after Wood's birth in San Francisco, her family moved to nearby Sonoma County, and lived in Santa Rosa, California, where Wood was noticed during a film shoot in downtown Santa Rosa. Her mother soon moved the family to Los Angeles and pursued a career for her daughter. Wood's younger sister, Svetlana Gurdin (the family had changed their surname) — now known as Lana Wood — also became an actress and later a Bond girl. She and Lana have an older half sister, Olga Viripaeff. Though Natalie had been born "Natalia Zacharenko", her father later changed the family name to "Gurdin" and Natalie was often known as "Natasha", the diminutive of Natalia. The studio executives at RKO Radio Pictures, David Lewis and William Goetz, later changed her name to "Natalie Wood". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Natalie Wood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
