Robert Wagner, over his long acting career, has had his ups and downs, including his marriage to and divorce from Natalie Wood, who later died in a tragic boating accident after they had remarried. He writes about it with co-author Scott Eyman in “Pieces of my Heart.”
He also talks about mentors such as Spencer Tracy, his relationships with Barbara Stanwyck and, of course, Natalie Wood.
Says publisher HarperCollins: “Under the mentorship of stars like Spencer Tracy, he would become a salaried actor in Hollywood’s studio system among other hot actors of the moment such as his friends Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis. Working with studio mogul Darryl Zanuck, Wagner began to appear in a number of films alongside the most beautiful starlets—but his first love was Barbara Stanwyck, an actress twice his age. As his career blossomed, and after he separated from Stanwyck, he met the woman who would change his life forever, Natalie Wood. They fell instantly and deeply in love and stayed together until the stress of their careers—hers marching upward, his inexplicably deflating—drove them to divorce.”
