During the filming of Brainstorm, Christopher Walken had a key to Natalie's hotel suite. He went around bragging about it while showing the key to members of the cast and crew. Robert was bound to find out sooner or later.
shareShe's right. But Lana Wood needs attention and money, so this nonsense will go on as long as she and Wagner are alive.

Lana Woods does need money and attention, but the fact she does doesn't actually impeach her story.
Yes, actually it does. The "RJ killed my sister" industry is what has kept her in the tabloids and money for the past few decades, since her nothing career petered out. Without bringing this nonsense up over and over, she'd have been completely forgotten many years ago. This never-ending delusion, or lie, is the only thing she's got left.
shareThere's an old saying - "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you".
While you can reasonably say that Lana's need for money and attention shows reasonable doubt as to her motives (to which I agree), it doesn't mean that Robert Wagner or Christopher Walken had no part or at least didn't have some unspoken knowledge of exactly what transpired the night Natalie died.
Although the investigation didn't turn up anything concrete, the police certainly were suspicious of something not quite right that went on that night.
Lana has no hard evidence, and absent a deathbed confession by either Wagner or Walken, the story will remain untold - but the suspicions at least are not totally unfounded.
The thing I believe that really discredits her story is that she offered the captain of the boat a percentage of her book sales and he changes his story after all these years to incriminate Wagner and Walken.

Not saying that isn't true, but did she *literally* say that? She might have only offered them a cut if they told what she may believe to be the truth, but wasn't interested in giving them any cut if they continued to (again, what she believes) to cover for Wagner or Walken or both.
The possibility exists that Lana Woods believes with ever fiber of her being that Natalie's death wasn't an accident or that there wasn't something else going on that night, and she only wanted the boat captain to tell what she believes to be the truth.
Of course, it's just as likely she's wrong, but her offer doesn't mean she was trying to get the boat captain to lie.
Lana Wood would say or do anything for cash no matter who she hurts.
