Her career, her life

Actress' death baffles authorities
IT WAS NOT unusual for Miss Wood, 48, to take the dinghy out alone, her lawyer, Paul Ziffren, said yesterday. But Miss Wood said in a recent interview with the New York Daily News that she was "frightened to death of the water ... I can swim a little bit, but I'm afraid of water that is dark."
Crum said "she went out in the boat by herself and slipped or fell off or jumped off." The fully clothed body was found about 8 a.m., some 200 yards from the little boat and about a half-mile from the yacht, deputies said.
Miss Wood, Wagner, the ship's captain, and actor Christopher Walken, who was making "Brainstorm" with Miss Wood, had returned to the yacht about midnight after dinner on the island, which also is the movie location. Levy said just a few days shooting remained for the film, and MGM did not know how it would be finished.
ACCORDING TO Ziffren's account, which was contained in a statement, Wagner, 51, "was in the cabin. Mrs. Wagner apparently went to their stateroom. When Mr. Wagner went to join her, he found she was not there and the dinghy was gone." Wagner did not search for her until she failed to return in 10 or 15 minutes, Ziffren said.
After Wagner called the Coast Guard at 3:30 a.m., five vessels joined the search and the body was spotted by a coast guardsman.
Harbor director Doug Bombard, who pulled the body from the water, said no injuries were apparent and the boat was not damaged.
Miss Wood and Wagner married in 1957, divorced in 1965 and remarried in 1972. They had a daughter, Courtney Brooke, now 7, and Miss Wood had a daughter Natasha, now 11, from her 1969 marriage to executive Richard Gregson.
