PINK FLOYD: The Dark Side of Naomi Watts

Actress Naomi Watts was introduced to the world of celebrity at a very young age.

Her father, Peter Watts, was the sound engineer for Pink Floyd until 1974. He died in 1976 from a heroin overdose at the age of 31.

Naomi tells the The Guardian that she has photos of her parents on the beach in St. Tropez with the band. And, when he died, she says, "The band, very kindly... gave my mum a few thousand dollars to help get things under way. A lump sum, to help. It was kind that they did that.”

You can see Naomi's dad on the back cover of Floyd's 1969 album, Ummagumma. And you can hear him laughing on "Brain Damage" on The Dark Side of the Moon, as well talking on "Speak to Me."
