No. Natalie Wood was a member of the Russian Orthodox Church, the daughter of Russian immigrants. She married her second husband, Richard Gregson, in a Russian Orthodox ceremony. Her grave bears the three-barred Russian cross.
Some interviews early in her career state that she was a more generic, Protestant faith, but this was probably the result of studio image making.
She starred in the film Marjorie Morningstar, where she played the iconic Jewish ingenue, which may cause some of the confusion over her faith. Also, Orthodox Christianity, though a major world faith, remains remarkably little known in the United States. Many Americans associate the word "Orthodox" exclusively with Judaism. On top of that, Wood, with her raven hair, often played "ethnic" or "exotic" types. (Ironically, Robert Wagner's other wife, the red-haired, Irish-looking Jill St. John, actually is Jewish.)
The 2010 reference to Wood as a Jewish actress on the TV show "Glee" was apparently based on a writer's misconception. Over the years, media reports have often referred to Wood as a role model for Jewish female performers.
However, it was mentioned in
"GLEE" that Natalie Wood was Jewish as a joke.
