Publisher's summary

A moving, candid, and deeply personal look at the triumphs and tragedies, loves and heartbreaks of one of Hollywood's most popular and enduring stars.

Handsome, suave, and sophisticated, Robert J. Wagner has starred in more than 100 films and television series over the past 50 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.

Real

Real and honest with struggles yet hope and life. An inspiring story about the struggle of life, the gift of love and caring. Well worth the listening.

I really am glad I bought this book!!

I'm glad to have finally read the truth. Mr. Wagner waited a long time to tell his side, but it closed the door on what really happened with Natalie Wood and his family. He covered all the stories that were out there with the truth. You will know it's the truth, because he didn't deny any of them. I ended his book with a renewed respect for him and what really happened.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Loved it. It had a good pace and it kept me wanting more. Most importantly, I appreciated Robert Wagner sharing his very raw thoughts and feelings. What a great man. I'd love to shake his hand one day.

BRAVO, RJ!

An absolute delight! The second time round, and it was as enthralling as the first go.

A VERY FINE MAN

This book was magnificent, just like the author himself. I had read this probably three times but hearing his voice made it so much better. He is sincere and honest and his warm and loving self. It was written beautifully and narrated to perfection. I have always adored Robert Wagner and now, if it’s possible I adore him more. A fine upstanding gentleman and most of all a gentle man.

Heart to Heart

There were few downbeat moments in R.J. Wagner's life story reading. His voice seems as young and vigorous as ever and he has many interesting things to relate about his 60 years of interacting with Hollywood's famous, from caddying for Clark Gable to his television years in Hart to Hart. There is more to his life than his marriages to and loss of Natalie Wood.

4.5 stars

If there would have been a little less abridging, I might have given this 5 stars all around. That said, Robert Wagner's voice is easy on the ears. I've listened to it several times and enjoyed it each time. I'm glad I have the hardcover, though, because you get some juicy stories that aren't included in the audio version.

This is more than just a story of the actor's life. He shares some interesting anecdotes about stars he's known. Some might accuse him of name-dropping, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wonderful!

This book was fantastic. Very real and honest. Mr. Wagner was a wonderful narrator and many times you could feel the emotion coming through. I've already purchased his other two books and can't wait to start those.
