In the second and final installment of our series, we pull back the curtain on the tragic mystery that began at sea. Following her dazzling career and complex personal life, Natalie Wood's story takes a dark turn on a fateful night in 1981. We reconstruct her final hours aboard the yacht Splendour, examining the conflicting accounts of her husband, Robert Wagner, Captain Dennis Davern, and actor Christopher Walken. We also unpack the theories and long-held suspicions that have surrounded her untimely death. Join us as we explore how a Hollywood fairy tale became a real-life whodunnit, leaving a legacy of unanswered questions and a star's final chapter forever shrouded in mystery.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
