Product Description:
A moving, candid, and deeply personal look at the triumphs and tragedies, lovesand heartbreaks of one of Hollywood's most popular and enduring stars.
Handsome, suave, and sophisticated, Robert J. Wagner has starred in more than one hundred films and television series over the past fifty years. In this deeply personal story, he recalls his rise to stardom. He talks candidly about his relationships with some of the greatest stars of the 20th century, including Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, and, for the first time, he shares the details of his two marriages to Natalie Wood. Wagner also offers a fascinating look at Hollywood during the last half of the 20th century.

Of all the recently-published autobiographies of movie stars to come across this reader's desk, this is by far the dullest. Robert Wagner (for some reason calling himself Robert "J" Wagner here - I know his friends call him "RJ", but so what?), star of TV's It Takes a Thief and Hart to Hart, never hit the heights professionally, nor plumbed the depths he's just been...there. True, he has been there for well over fifty years, and never gives a bad performance, but he never gives a stunningly good ... Read More

He was the young bad guy who fell off the Mountain with Spencer Tracy.

He was young thief who climbed rooftops in It Takes a Thief.
You get the idea.
What a career and life he's had. That said, since it's an autobio, it must be taken with a grain of salt. Overall he retains my admiration for his ... Read More

I purchased this book thinking RJ Wagner was a classy gent. What I got out of it was an entirely different look at who this man really is. His use of the C and D words seemed completely unnecessary as did his comments about someone named OK, and David Niven's private parts. Really, did we need to know this. I can't believe this man has three daughters and would use such degrading terms to describe men and women's anatomy. I blame myself for not opening the book before I purchased it. The F____ C____ ...

Actor Robert Wagner's memoir is a supremely one-sided affair, curdled with cuteness, ego, and apparent contempt for anyone who stands up to him. What fascinates most in this misbegotten movie star venture is what Wagner doesn't say. He goes into great detail when recounting conversations in which he himself is the patron saint of sensibility--yet, if the occasion hinges dangerously on Wagner's own jealousy, temper, and foul mouth, the interplay in the book grows increasingly static. We learn no more about ... Read More

My purchase was supposed to have been a Christmas present for my Oma, but I never received it. Nor did I receive an email back from the seller when I sent one over a week ago questioning the whereabouts of my order.
