Summary: RJ gets it right!
Comment: This is a wonderful way to hear about Rj's life. His voice is known to so many, and his story has everything in it. Love, laughs, tragedy. This man is such an important part of Hollywood, and I'm so glad he's finally come out with his story and that he's such a lucky guy to spend the past 20+ years with one of the world's great beauties, Jill St. John. I recommend this CD to anyone who wants to enjoy a life well lived.

Summary: RJ has my heart
Comment: I have been in love with Robert Wagner since I was 10 years old. I was so excited when I heard he had written a book, that I bought the tape and the book. I read the book and then I let RJ tell me his life story. I listen to it in the car and it is like he is sitting next to me telling me stories. His stories aren't mean spirited, they are real. If he liked someone- he tells you but if he didn't like them- he doesn't pull any punches. The story about his argument with Tony Curtis about Janet Leigh is a perfect example of the type of person I wanted him to be. He tells an honest and loving story about all the women he has loved and the men that took the place of father that was cold. I loved RJ when I was ten and I love him even more - now that I know he is the person I wanted him to be since I was ten and turned on the tv and saw him as Alexander Mundy on It Takes a Thief. Great book - excellent read.

Summary: RJ Himself
Comment: Whether you call him Pete Ryan, Al Mundy, Jonathan Hart or Prince Vallent, he is still Robert Wagner

In this abridged audio biography, he recants his life and a life has never been more exciting. When he tells you about HOLLYWOOD in its golden era. The stars, the films and tv shows and the headlines are covered here.

One thing you can say about Wagner is class. He is frank and honest on who is he is. He is more than an actor, he is a renaissance man. He knows his world isnt just Hollywood, but he keeps more of his private life semi private.

He talks of his relationship with his wife Natalie Wood and her death from the boating accident. He touches on his grief briefly without glossing over it.

Through it all he narrates this book like he was born to do it..well his was. and He does it in a clear voice, unlike many other stars who narrate this biographies (AKA William Shatner). He relays the facts without sugar coating them which makes this more interesting.

The book and the man is a class act and it shows

Summary: Hearing about the 'Old Hollywood' days
Comment: Hearing about Hollywood in the 40s, to the 90s is so interesting.. and to hear it from the author is even better.. I had no idea that Robert Wagners' life was so exciting. To hear him tell of his love for Barbara Stanwyk and Natalie was wonderful. He is respectful of every woman he has ever been involved with and that makes him a real man to me. I love the audio. I love this book. Thanks, Robert!!
