The 9 Most Glamorous Moments in Roddy McDowall's Unbelievable, Star-Laden Home Movies

4. Natalie Wood, wearing a striped collared shirt, turns around and makes goofy eyes at the camera -- just before darting into the ocean and accidentally unlatching a bikini strap. Still stunned that a woman of such cavalier grace could be the obsessive, hyperventilating teenage lover of Splendor in the Grass. (Video #1, 0:40)

2. Kirk Douglas, in tiny red shorts, exchanges a light peck with the untouchable Lauren Bacall. Nothing about Kirk's rugged, slightly older look here indicates that he'll be the star of the 2011 Academy Awards. (Video #2, 0:48)

    Stumbled across these just recently, and they blew my mind.
    Downloaded most of 'em, and must of watched them a dozen times.
    Not so much a fan of any of the guests, but seeing those oh-so-familiar faces casually chatting, etc, is charming. Also really love that mid-'60's Cali vibe (dig the sunglasses!).
    Odd to think that most of the people captured have died.
