At her core, Wood was an autobiographical artist—one who chose projects that spoke to her. The new HBO documentary 'Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind' tells that story.
A new HBO documentary re-examines Wood's career in hopes that she'll be remembered for more than her mysterious death.Natalie Wood sits at the head of a table alongside her publicist, business manager, agent, and a half-dozen more suits—all men who all worked for her.

With the help of Gregson Wagner, the HBO special—helmed by director Laurent Bouzereau—will finally leave Wood’s death to the watery depths where it happened. Its aim, instead, is to amend the actress’ legacy in Hollywood as the assertive, brave, charismatic and trailblazing careerwoman, wife, and mother that she was.Until now, Gregson Wagner has remained mostly private about growing up the child of a movie star—save for releasing a coffee table book and a commemorative perfume called “Natalie” .
“Nobody had done that at that time,” says Gregson Wagner. “After she put up such a stink for equal pay, from then on she always made sure she got points [a percentage of the movie's profits]…because she knew that that was how to make real money. She also had it in her contract that she was given time off to see her therapist.”
Wood made it a point to champion and support other creatives. She’s the one who fought for Robert Redford—an unknown stage actor at the time—to be her co-star on. And it was those with marginalized voices, especially, that she sought to help with her platform: She met Mart Crowley, an openly gay playwright, onand hired him as her assistant, reportedly for the purpose of giving him the ability to write what would becomeabout a group of gay men in the ‘60s, was unprecedented material for the time.
