Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this book for my Kindle after downloading a delightful sample. I was deciding between Mr. Wagner's book or Tony Curtis' book - and I am pleased that I chose the former.
I didn't know a whole lot about Robert Wagner or his life story except for the usual bits about his marraiges and television programs (which I must confess I had no interest in watching when they were on). But I must say that I could not put this book down and finished it within 3 days because it was so interesting.
I don't want to ruin anything for another reader out there, but allow me to tell you that Mr. Wagner was no boy scout but he is also no braggert. He will tell you many fine tales about the women and the men of his profession that he had the pleasure of knowing and working with, without including embarrassing or lurid details. How refreshing! The names - Fred Astaire, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, David Niven, and on and on - are just mind boggling. Old Hollywood, New Hollywood - you name it, they're all in here.
I did not realize that he had been a part of the movie industry for so many years and had been involved in so many different aspects of the business. I just never paid him much mind and he pretty much flew under the radar of other higher wattage stars. Now I can't wait to find one of his movies on television so that I may pay him the attention he should have received sooner.
The book is very engaging and his style will make the reader feel right at home, which I suspect is exactly the way he wanted it to turn out. He is a very classy man (and not to mention dropdead gorgeous!) and I am so happy to have discovered this story to recommend to others.
