Investigators: Actor Robert Wagner a 'Person of Interest' in Wife Natalie Wood's Death

Investigators in the unsolved 1981 drowning death of actress Natalie Wood have named her husband, actor Robert Wagner, as a "person of interest" in a case that stunned the nation.

Wagner had written that it was he and Walken who argued and that he did not notice his wife was missing until he saw a small boat hooked onto the yacht was also gone.

He has always denied responsibility for his wife's death. Wood, 43 when she died, started her career as a child actress and became a Hollywood icon, starring in such classics as    and
