There was a made-for-TV documentary (maybe an A&E "Biography" program) about
Wood that was occasionally interesting (with scenes from her films and
interviews with those who knew her) but largely infuriating.  Its analysis
of her life was centered around the irony that, from early in her childhood
Natalie was afraid of water (IRONIC, huh?!?).  The film makers managed to
get nearly everyone they talked to to dredge up some anecdote about Natalie's
phobia.   This quickly became tiresome.
