Natalie Wood Revisited

It has been six long years since I last posted about Natalie Wood and the likelihood that she was a spanko,  but in that time I have little more to offer than what I had posted back then. Somewhere out there exists the image of Nick Adams spanking Natalie,  this is the image below where Natalie is wearing cowboy boots and Nick is giving her a birthday spanking on set. I’ve yet to find it in a magazine or newspaper,  or even located the actual image,  but I know somewhere that a clear cut copy exists. The copy that you see below is one that I had to edit to make it as presentable as possible. Should I find out what publication this image appeared in,  you can bet your bottom dollar that I will purchase it. Personally I am going to guess that it is from a newspaper,  but I will continue to search.

There are a lot of times where information on the Internet is misleading and there are times where spanking pics are mislabeled for whatever reason. Take the famous Natalie Wood spanking pic for instance,  for years it was titled  ‘The Burning Hills’. A few years ago I was conducting a search and it dawned on me,  the pic wasn’t from the burning hills at all,  it was actually from  ‘The Girl he left behind’. Since that time I am happy to report that it gets labeled correctly.

I purchased the copy of the December 1956 Movie Stars Parade,  you can now all enjoy it for yourselves as I scanned the pics to share with you all. We have all seen the spanking pics and now I can show you how they appeared in the magazine,  for historical reference.

 

So that is yet another entry into the Natalie Wood spanking files. One could assume that there can be no more spanking pics of Natalie,  but I for one don’t believe it. There is still a search to find the pics that were taken on the set of the burning hills where Nick Adams showed up and gave her a spanking. Even if it is just one pic,  we still need to find a good copy of the pic shown below. Plus,  I also found a Natalie and Nick set today where they are frolicking. There was no spanking in any of the pics,  but the potential was there. One thing is for sure,  old Houndog will continue to search for Natalie Wood spanking pics. Here is the rest of the collection that I have made to date of Natalie getting spanked.

     

There is also the famous incident noted below that has been published in numerous books and magazines,  so much so that I think that it is fair to say that the spanking did indeed happen. It was possible to think for a while that this was a one off that was perhaps set up,  however,  if I am able to add anything to this post it is that Rita Hayworth was another person who Fritz Perls spanked on the  “Hot seat”.

I have yet to read the book itself,  but in Fritz Perls’  book  “In and out of the garbage pail”  he talks about his reasons behind spanking women who pay a visit to the hot seat. This is going to be worth looking into because there is a likelihood that more actresses were spanked during these Esalen parties,  I’m just not sure whether they will be named in the book. I will let you know what I find out. The excerpt above seems to imply that Candice Bergen and Ali McGraw were also spanked by Fritz Perls.

***On July 29th,  1966, the actress,  Jennifer Jones,  hosted a party what was supposed to be known as  “The Night Hollywood Embraced Esalen”,  instead,  it became known as  “The Night Fritz Perls Spanked Natalie Wood”.

Natalie Wood was on the hot seat during an encounter group,  playing her role with gusto. Fritz Perls attempted to get her to admit that she was acting but Natalie was too sly and skillfully slipped out of his verbal traps. Finally Fritz let her have it  “You’re nothing but a spoiled little brat who always gets her own way”  and he quickly hauled her over his lap and began spanking her. It was only a brief episode and after Natalie left it was Tuesday Weld’s turn on the hot seat,  but there was no spanking this time.

July 29th 1966!! Just a mere 9 days past her 28th birthday!! Things that make you go hmmmm.***
