Cruising the Pacific
Wood and Wagner invited Walken along on a short weekend trip to sail around Catalina Island, about twenty-two miles off the coast of Los Angeles. Wood and Wagner spent as much time as they could on Splendour. Wood once said that the yacht allowed them some much-desired privacy. "It's easy with the boat," she said.
That was 1979. Only two years later, Wood's body would be drifting in the water less than a mile away from the retreat that had once allowed her to escape the public eye.
