The Golden Globes thing doesn't bother me at all. You can't just write him out of Hollywood history based on gossip and conjecture. He hasn't directly been publicly accused by Lana or anyone. Some #metoo people can get witchhunt-y, but I think it's good that rumors don't equal automatic "cancellation" even for them. I don't follow Chastain specifically but I don't know that it's necessarily hypocritical. There's a line somewhere between "X, Y, and Z all say that A brutally raped them at B hotel on the 18th, 19th and 20th respectively" and some ancient secondhand account that doesn't even name the person involved.

Its common knowledge that Douglas raped Natalie Wood. And she's probably not the only woman he raped.
There's a passage in his autobiography where a seduction scene reads more like a rape. At least according to one DLer. I've not read the book because I think he's a pervy rapey tosser. Link to original thread here:

Wood was living independently since Sinatra got her (13/14 yo ?) She was pimped out by her mother and decided that if she was old enough to be the meal ticket of the family, she was old enough to do what she pleased. I don't remember who said that she was every night at every night club, drunk dancing to and requesting ' where is the little girl that used to be me' on repeat.'

From the Natalie Wood Wikipedia page :
Suzanne Finstad's 2001 biography of Wood alleges that she was raped by a powerful actor when she was 16.[57][58] Through the recollection of Wood's close friends, which included late actors Scott Marlowe and Dennis Hopper, Finstad summarizes:
Though her five close friends' memories of some details or timing differ after forty-five years, the essence of what each recalls Natalie confiding to them is the same: that the same married film star lured or tricked Natalie, raped her so brutally she was physically injured, and she was too frightened or intimidated to report it to the police. Natalie "hated" her former screen idol afterward, "shuddering" if she heard his name. She would keep the horrible secret, and behave as if nothing happened whenever their paths intersected, too schooled by Mud [her mother] in the politics of Hollywood to cross a powerful movie star.[59]
In 2018, Lana Wood said during a 12-part podcast about Wood's life that the attack occurred inside the Chateau Marmont during an audition and went on "for hours".[60] According to professor Cynthia Lucia who studied the attack, Wood's rape was quite brutal and violent.[61]

I didn't realise that Wood won a Golden Globe less than two years before her death. Certainly, her film career wasn't going that well at that time and she was already in her early 40s. But, she was still working though. I could have seen her make a comeback. She had the talent.

True, r48, Unfortunately her then current film Brainstorm hadn't completed filming and was nearly abandoned at the insistence of the insurance company but the brilliant director, Douglas Trumbull, figured out a way to pull together the footage that had been completed.

Natalie was once involved with John Ireland, whose cock size was rumored to be in the Milton Berle/Forrest Tucker league. Crawford was enjoying it during the filming of "Queen Bee".
"Three years later, in 1959, Ireland would make headlines again when he became embroiled in a widely publicized affair with then 16-year-old actress Tuesday Weld. The 45-year-old actor told the press that he would ask Weld to marry him “if there wasn’t such a difference in our ages . . . that and her mother are the only things that stop me.” Ireland was later linked with several other starlets, including Natalie Wood."

As Lana tells the story, Natalie's mother drove Natalie to the meeting with Kirk Douglas. The mother and little Lana stayed in the car and waited for Natalie. Lana fell asleep in the backseat.
Natalie came back crying, disheveled and blood running down her legs. There was a discussion between Natalie and her mother about whether Natalie should be taken to the hospital. It was decided that she should not go to the hospital due to the rape becoming public knowledge and the resulting bad publicity.
There is a rumor that Kirk murdered actress, Jean Spangler, who was pregnant with his child.

Very close but not quite correct, r59. It was the insurance company, Lloyd's of London, that put up the money to finish Brainstorm when the studio producing, MGM, wanted to shut down the already troubled film when Wood died and it denied the money to finish it. Director Trumbull convinced Loyd's to put up the additional few million to finish the production rather than write it off.

I won't challenge you on that r66 but my understanding has been that several of Natalie's essential scenes had yet to be filmed which required Trumbull to rejuggle the screenplay in a way that didn't really serve the film. But I wasn't there and I don't really know.
