Robert Wagner

No, Robert Wagner does NOT deserve a star on the HWOF. He has refused every opportunity since 1981 to answer legitimate questions about his late wife's mysterious death. The recent book, Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour, includes a polygraphed account of how this man you want to give a star to, lied to the police, covered his tracks, and how the authorities did not properly investigate Natalie Wood's death. There is a current petition at gopetition.com to reopen the case of Natalie Wood, and it is a serious movement the LA County Sheriff's Dept will have to deal with soon. Robert Wagner does not exemplify the type of Hollywood celebrity who deserves a star. Besides that, he can't even act. If you are really going to expand on the man's biography, make sure you include the truth about how he treated his wife Nov. 28, 1981.

Robert Wagner is nothing more than a minor 1950's heart throb who had a bit more luck with television fame over thirty years ago. I believe he will be noted more for his marriage to a genuine star, Natalie Wood and the ongoing mystery surrounding her death in 1981 which still reverberates in hushed circles around tinseltown.
Just because Robert Wagner has reached Octogenarian status in Hollywood does immediately elevate him to legendary status.

The invitation by the Times to comment here almost seems to good to be true. It's hard to know where to start. Lets start by mentioning that his legendary status is linked primarily to his ability to beat his wife Natalie Wood half to death and then slip her semi-conscious body into the cold, dark waters of the Pacific Ocean at Catalina Island in November of 1981 and get away with it for 30 years. Now that's the stuff that legends are made of.

I don't think Robert Wagner deserves a star on the Walk of Fame. Other than being an old guy he never really made a mark on the film world like other actors his age. There are many old timers who don't have a star and they are more worthy than Robert Wagner.

He obviously is worthy of a star - since he already has one - hahaha, who left these comments? Get a life!!

No, he does not deserve a star. When will the LA papers stop groveling to celebrity and do the job they were hired to do? Review the book, Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour and let the truth be told. Thirty years of cover-up is enough. Mr. Wagner may never be brought to justice but the truth deserves to be told. Show some regard for the late Ms. Wood. Hollywood owes her that.

I believe Robert Wagner certainly deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame simply because he is a delightful actor and has actively worked his entire adult life. The list is endless now of all the movies, tv shows and guest appearances Mr. Wagner has graced us with on the big and small screen.

For a poster to crudely write that Mr. Wagner beat his late ex-wife, the actress Natalie Wood, half to death and slipped her semi-conscious body into the Pacific Ocean is a very ignorant statement since there is not any evidence to substantiate a murder. The poster has no way of knowing this and should be sued for libel. The police and coroner ruled Wood's death an accidental drowning and the autopsy proved it. That drowning case was closed 29 years ago. Robert Wagner is a very gifted actor and has done so much with his life in 80 years. He is to be commended as he is by millions of fans.

Robert Wagner is a dignified and classy gentleman. He is a fine actor and still looks great for his age. I don't know why someone named "Creed" would post that ignoramous comment. Natalie Wood was not murdered. Her untimely death was an accidental drowning and everyone knows that. Please give Robert his star on the Hollywood walk of fame. He certainly is deserving and has well earned it. We wish you the best Mr. Wagner because you are the best.

Robert Wagner, who is still alive and healthy and enjoying life with his wife, Jill St. John, should, of course, have his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He's left an enduring legacy in both TV and film. He was a MAJOR Hollywood leading man. His TV series "Hart to Hart" qualifies him for a star, even if nothing else does.

RJ, I ADORE you!

No, Robert Wagner should not have a star. What he should have, is a formal investigation - which was not done in 1981, when Natalie Wood (who was
terrified of dark water), somehow managed to slip into the water & never be heard from again. Robert Wagner refused to search for her or alert anyone else that she was missing until HOURS had gone by. He would not allow searchlights to be turned on, he refused to call the Coast Guard for hours, while his wife drifted, alone, in the water. When her body was finally found, he didn't
have the decency or respect to even identify her; he fled the scene and left the grim task to his employee. He doesn't deserve a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - he deserves to have to finally answer the questions he was never asked in 1981!

A Star on the Walk of Fame is not an example of an honor from his peers or from Hollywood, in general. It's backed by fans and paid for by fans and in some cases, by the star himself. It took Wagner a very long time to get his Star. He may have been an example of one that paid for his own star. If I am not mistaken he does not have his foot prints in Mann's Chinese which most of the major stars of that era do have. His film career faltered in the late 50s and never bounced back. He turned to TV and that is where he had his biggest success. Was that his dream? I doubt it. He has never been nominated for an Oscar. He has one Emmy nomination for It Takes a Thief. Even in TV he has not been celebrated by his peers. Wagner was never up there with the big male stars of his day. He was never a major star. In all likelihood he will be remembered as Natalie Wood's husband.

Robert Wagner received his star years ago, but he does not deserve it. He is a terrible actor, and because he lasted a long time in secondary roles does not warrant a star. His hit TV shows were ok, but ok does not warrant a star. And if you read the book about the truth about his late wife's death (Goodbye Natalie Goodbye Splendour, title) you will understand why "Creed" left the comment here. The book doesn't say he beat his wife, of course, but you will have no doubt what happened to Natalie and Wagner's part in it after reading. The Natalie Wood case deserves to be reopened and even Nancy Grace thinks so and has reported on it at her Cold Case website. Wagner was given special treatment while his wife was buried if he could have his wish, forgotten. But she will never be forgotten, and either will he, but famous and infamous are two different labels. He deserves the latter.

Who cares? I had to Google his name. All I know about him is that he was married to Natalie Wood.

Of course Robert Wagner deserves a star. He is one of the most famous faces in Hollywood and has been for at least 60 years! Let's not forget the wonderful and loving way he raised Natalie's daughter Natasha & their daughter Courtney. He's a wonderful father to his daughter Katie from another marriage and has raised all three daughters in such a loving and exceptional way. Natasha loves him as if he were her biological father, why she carries his name. Natalie would want her daughters to love their father as they do. Besides being a perfect father, he is also a perfect husband and a phenomenal actor. Just about everybody loves and admires Robert Wagner and recognizes him as one of the best actors in Hollywood.

Mr. Wagner has always been my favorite actor of all time. I loved him as Alexander Mundy in It Take A Thief & Jonathan Hart in Hart To Hart. He is one of the most dignified and classy gentlemen that have ever come out of Hollywood. He is such a kind and loving man that yes, he definitely deserves a star or two or three.

I love Mr. Robert Wagner and met him in California about twenty years ago. He signed an autograph book for me and was so gracious and kind. He is a gifted actor and has such a presence. He has always carried himself so well and love that voice too. Of course everybody knows him as himself and not just because he was married to the starlet Natalie Wood. I loved him in the Mike Myers movies too. He should have a star.

Nobody beleives that book saying he killed his wife. It was written by a author that never had a book published before. It is full of lies and making her alot of money. I've seen all his movies and he is a great actor. Yes to him recieving a star.

Robert J. Wagner will forever be one of my favorite stars of all my time. He is sensational actor and Ms. Wood was very lucky lady. He is very famous all over the world not just in Calif. He has it all the whole package. He deserves stars.

Yes to my old friend receiving his well earned star!

I have the feeling that the same person is sending all this praise of Wagner. He was a second rater. Read his book! That will give you an indication of his splendid film career.
Natalie Wood was not a "starlet." She was a name above the title super star. In his dreams!

That is mean to accuse people that like Robert Wagner of being the same people. Mr. Wagner is old enough to be established as one of the great stars from Hollywood. I am sure he has a large fan base that has been built up since his first movie. He is 80 or 81 years old for goodness sake. Leave a post if you wish but please quit acting like you are a juvenile. Mr. W does has millions of fans all over the world.

Nice update to Wagner's biography. It sounds like Wagner wrote it himself. Natalie Wood did not "accidentally" fall off of the Splendour. Wagner did wed St. John years later but he started dating her two months after the "love of his life" died. How about truly investigating his biography instead of copying the baloney that has passed as fact. Better yet, read Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour and get a clue.

It is terrible that people will blame him for his wife's death without even knowing for sure. I believe he deserves his star. I congratulate him on his success.

Yes! He should definitely have his star!

I, too, met Robert Wagner when he signed a book for me. He was charming, gracious, and delightful.

Any allegations of him harming his late wife, Natalie Wood in any way, all are false, false, and false. A good look at the evidence will tell anyone that. The case was well investigated by the police, who came to the conclusion that Wood slipped.

RJ is a wonderful man, who has contributed much to TV and film, and I wish him much health and happiness.

No, he does not deserve a Star on the Walk of Fame.

The case is reopened, let us see what really happened! I hope we can get the answers so she can rest in peace.
God bless you, Natalie.
And if RJ started seeing Jill St John just to months after her death, that makes me sick!

No, I don’t think murderers deserve a star on the walk of fame. It’s disgusting that he was never properly
investigated, due to his movie star status. I have always felt that he murdered Natalie Wood.
Someone, who was deadly afraid of drowning does not accidently fall off the edge of a boat.

Robert Wagner to me he would go along with all the great actors of the 50's and not forgetting the 70's and 80's and yet he is still going at 2011 come on give the guy a break the law states for everyone a man is innocent untill proven guilty why change the law now,I just turn 40 and I do look at the great movies from the 50's and may I say to all Mr Wagner critics he is part and will always be part of Hollywood Greats.

i liked him until the death of Natalie Wood
after that i dropped him like a hot potato!

Robert Wagner has displayed himself very nicely in the public eye, has chosen his career paths carefully, has spoken out in a way that he should gracefully that is highly respectful. His background is just as darling as can be. His friends and family are behind him; and his morals, beliefs are holding him up til this day. Why not give him even another star? Although- The star he has already is sill shining, I would still vote for another star for Robert Wagner. If anyone judges a person over an argument, lets hope you don't have one with anyone in your lifetime and they die soon after that. Everyone has arguments. Don't you know that? Oh, I forgot, you were there on the boat, you saw EVERYTHING! YOU KNOW EVERYTHING!
