At 93, Robert Wagner, a beloved actor known for his roles inIt Takes a Thief,Switch, andHart to Hart, has lived through many highs and lows. One of the most painful chapters in his life was the tragic and mysterious death of his wife, Hollywood icon Natalie Wood. Despite being entangled in speculation over her death, Wagner’s daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, has been a strong advocate for clearing his name.
Robert Wagner, who had a romantic history with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Joan Crawford and Elizabeth Taylor, was forever marked by his relationship with Natalie Wood. The two first met when Wood was only 10 and Wagner was 18. By the time she was 19, Wood had declared she would marry him, a prediction that came true not once, but twice.
After marrying in 1957 and divorcing in 1962, Wagner and Wood went on to have separate marriages, each with children from other relationships. However, their love for one another never wavered, and they remarried in 1972, welcoming daughter Courtney in 1974.
