Orson Welles, one of the legends of American cinema, once said of Natalie
Wood's work as a child actor " she's so good, she's terrifying ". I just saw an outstanding film from 1946 called " Tomorrow Is Forever ", with Wood and Welles in it. Now I know what he meant by that comment. It was the best performance I've ever seen by a child actor. It didn't look like she was acting. It felt like I was eavesdropping on a family drama.

Wonderful child actress whose performances always tugged at your heart. One of the very few who morphed into a teen idol and then into adult actress. Read her biography and you'll marvel that she managed to not be one of those child star statistics who died young or ended up in jail! She died too young as it was.

She was very good as a child actress but her in Rebel without a cause is my fav,ask me about dream I had about when I fell asleep watchin' movie.

Way better than 16th place. Must be at least fifth! Better than Dakota, Jodie, and Patty!

a pretty good child actor. I liked her in Miracle on 34th street. she was a darling little girl. and she just seem to improve with age. I saw her more as a teenager and into her adult years. but as a kid actor she was good and died way too young.

A beautiful woman and a great actress, my favorite role was in Rebel Without a Cause, a movie where strangely the 3 stars, Natalie, James Dean,and Sal Mineo all died tragic deaths later in life.
