Thank you for this! I'm going to take you gals up on this recommendation. I

I remember there was a lot of speculation going on in the tabloids anyway about the "coincidence" of the timing of their deaths and the rumors about Stefanie & RJ. So, the gossip I read was a theory in effect that Bill Holden (who was an alcoholic and had recently been drinking again) had actually gotten into a fight with Stefanie and she either hit him or he fell, she left him and he died. It went on to say that because of her relationship with RJ and the knowledge that if the truth was revelaed she would be implicated, their show would be canceled and careers go up smoke, that she was calling him all hours of the night pissing Natalie off and she was fed up with their affair. The speculation is that Natalie was fighting on the boat that night with RJ about Stefanie because she knew the truth about Holden's death and that RJ was determined to protect Stefanie.

If there is zero truth in that theory, it sure is well thought out.

Meanwhile, I stumbled on this website of the author of Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendor -- with a ton more info: http://martirulli.blogspot.com/

This stuff is SO riveting, my goodness. Thank you for these contributions. It's like one of those stories where you pop a bag of popcorn and sit at the edge of your seat wondering what will come up next. This whole Powers/Holden/Wagner/Wood thing is captivating...I'm going to check out this link. Thank you! Y'all are better than the news.
