    • Goofs
      "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard can be heard playing at Natalie's 15th birthday party. However, this is set in 1953 and the song was only recorded on September 14, 1955 at the J & M Studio in New Orleans, Louisiana.
    • Quotes

      Natalie Wood: I don't really have a clear perception of myself, ya know. I mean I've always been Betty Davis' daughter or Maureen O'Hara's daughter or Jimmy Stewart's daughter or something like that, but I've been sorta discombobulated Morris. I mean I don't really know how to be... other than acting. I don't really know how I want my house to be or what pleases me or what kind an atmosphere. I sorta have to figure all that out.

    Fine
    This movie was shown in Hallmark and at first I didn't mind it since I don't know who is Natalie Wood herself (considering my non-interest to old US movies). Since my mom watch the movie and there was nothing to do on that day, I sat next to her and then... I was in awe.

    I usually didn't care much about this A-child-growing-to-be-a-teenage-to-be- mother-and-then-die kind of story but I spend the hours till the end with tears. (seriously) I was intrigue with the actresses like Justine Wadell and Alice Krige, they are such great actresses to portray their character with all their might.

    Overall, the movie was a great recollection of the days of Natalie Wood for her fans and also non-fan (like me). After that, I bought most of her old movies like West Side Story, Rebel Without a Cause and etc (which is, solely for my English Lit revision as I was studying Shakespeare for Romeo and Juliet)
