Overview
- On Dec. 28, the 95-year-old posted a wedding-day photo on Instagram, writing, “Remembering this special day 68 years ago... More than love!”
- Wagner and Wood first married on Dec. 28, 1957, divorced in 1962, remarried in 1972, and remained together until her death in 1981.
- Wood drowned in November 1981 after a yacht trip near California’s Catalina Island with Wagner, Christopher Walken, and skipper Dennis Davern, and the death was initially ruled an accidental drowning.
- After Davern’s 2011 claim that the couple argued that night, authorities reopened the case and labeled Wagner a person of interest before the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department cleared him in May 2022.
- Wagner has continued public remembrances, including a Nov. 29 tribute on the 44th anniversary of Wood’s death, and he became guardian to her daughter Natasha after 1981.
