My enemies may be rubbing their hands in glee but it seems that reports of ‘my’ death, if not grossly exaggerated, may have been wilfully inaccurate.

Exactly 30 years on from her mysterious drowning in November 1981, it appears that the circumstances surrounding the untimely end of my actress namesake, Natalie Wood (nee Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko) are to be reinvestigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.

The Daily Mail’s online version reports that:

“Questions over the circumstances surrounding Ms Wood's untimely death have lingered for 30 years, and family members have previously asked for authorities to re-examine the original findings.

“A spokesman for Robert Wagner, (whom Miss Wood married twice), said the family trusts the sheriff's department will take appropriate action but has not been contacted about the case being re-opened.”

Meanwhile, your correspondent based in Israel is keeping fairly well despite the ravages of age and lives in quiet contemplation in Karmiel, Lower Galilee, having emigrated from the U.K. in March 2010.

The actress was an able thespian and a classic American beauty but had a (Christian) Russian Orthodox background. Despite my own best efforts, I’ve still got my funny little Jewish legs, thick glasses and twin hearing aids. (Wow, to see it in writing)!

If the actress were still alive she would be aged 73 – sixteen years my senior -and I bet she’d be looking great.

But as I’ve written previously: The real interest in the movie star is her mysterious death. I was so-named simply because my parents liked it and our family name is ‘Wood’. I was born when the actress was a teenager appearing on US TV. I guess my own parents knew little or nothing of her.

So I claim to be the first, original ‘Natalie Wood’. All others – global-wide and skulking in corners of Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. - are imposters and should also be investigated by the L.A. police.

These eight women and eight men are looking for a slice of success made ​​by the successful application is the only way Made In Essex and Chelsea. But while they do not mind laughing at themselves, not someone to laugh, he loved the city. "When I was invited to Scousewives thought why not show the Scousers and sell our beautiful city? I wanted to be part of it," says makeup artist Jodie Lund TRAM.

She insists that she co-stars are protective of how Liverpool will be introduced and strike back at some of the criticism that the program has received since the shooting began last month. Jodie says: "Nobody has seen the show but what I think is very unfair to criticize it before it started it displays glitz and glamor of the city is real and I think we should show our city ...

"We laugh at ourselves. Scousers have a quirky sense of humor. But I feel very strongly about people laughing in the city. I said to the people behind the show. But people like (executive producer) Bad girls and others who are from Liverpool or living in the city. So no one wants to show Liverpool in a bad light.

"As of (one's way) Essex we live our lives in the chamber. I am addicted to reality TV and is so beautifully captured Towie. And we are wonderfully portraying Liverpool. It will show at festivals, but more nightlife Liverpool."
