The Hollywood icon tells about his rise to Hollywood stardom among legends like Cary Grant and Barbara Stanwyck and his troubled marriage, divorce, and remarriage to starlet Natalie Wood. In the revelation-filled memoir from one of Hollywood’s most talented actors, readers have a candid and deeply personal look at the life and career of Robert Wagner. Wagner’s long career began in the Hollywood of the 1950s, when studios were dominant and even the love lives of actors were dictated by what benefited the studio. His memoirs will chronicle in a very personal way his rise to stardom, his decline, and his resurrection. Wagner will talk candidly about his famous relationship with Natalie Wood and the circumstances surrounding her tragic death. His friendships and stories include major Hollywood personalities in the last half of the 20th century. When his family moved to Los Angeles, a young Wagner held a variety of jobs (including one as a caddy for Clark Gable) while pursuing his goal, but it was while dining with his parents at a restaurant in Beverly Hills that he was “discovered” by a talent scout. Known as much for his on-screen abilities as his off-screen personal heartbreak, Wagner will discuss for the first time his complicated and ultimately tragic relationship with Hollywood sweetheart Natalie Wood. It was implied that Wagner played a role in Natalie Wood’s tragic drowning off the coast of Catalina Island in 1981 and Wagner, for the first time ever, will set the record straight. With at least two dozen photos to illustrate his real Hollywood-style tell-all, this will be the extremely candid autobiography of Robert Wagner.

Excerpt from My Heart and Stephanie: A Novel To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill. IT seems impossible that, after one brief year, so little should remain of it as impossible as that the commonplace death of a poverty-stricken stranger in a little Pennsylvania village should contain the seeds of a mystery which imperiled the succession to a crown, sent the spy systems of two great empires buzzing over half the world and at one time threatened to plunge Europe into the greatest war of modern history. And yet, after all, these things have happened, and now, with only a twelvemonth come and gone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from My Heart's in the Highlands, Vol. 2 of 2 All the party from the Glen were in great spirits, for, besides their own agreeable society, they found many pleasant and distinguished personages on board. Nearly every lodge and house within thirty miles of the loch-side had sent its contribution to Captain Fraser's passengers to-day, and as the ladies sat to gether in their trim tweed costumes and plumed hats, enveloped in their many warm, coloured rugs and wrappers, they made gay and picturesque groups be low the gangway on the little quarter-deck, and in snug corners among the luggage around the funnel.

A generation past, the western realms were embroiled in endless war. Then the Destroyer came. From the blood and ashes he left behind, a tenuous alliance rose between the barbarian riders of Parsathe and the walled kingdoms of the south. That alliance is all that stands against the return of an ancient evil—until the barbarian king and queen are slain in an act of bloody betrayal. Though forbidden by the alliance council to kill the corrupt king responsible for his parents’ murders, Maddek vows to avenge them, even if it costs him the Parsathean crown. But when he learns it was the king’s daughter who lured his parents to their deaths, the barbarian warrior is determined to make her pay. Yet the woman Maddek captures is not what he expected. Though the last in a line of legendary warrior-queens, Yvenne is small and weak, and the sharpest weapons she wields are her mind and her tongue. Even more surprising is the marriage she proposes to unite them in their goals and to claim their thrones—because her desire for vengeance against her father burns even hotter than his own…

Excerpt from How Shall I Woo Thee?: Or, the Heart's Outpourings I picture you thus - and the idolised vision Will live in my heart as its worthiest prize For the sun of my life - ah! Smile not in derision IS the gleam that shines out from those sweet hazel eyes. I picture you, darling, - the golden brown tresses, Whose silky broad braids have entangled my heart, The glorious eyes whose mere looks are caresses, The red lips whose music can never depart. Sweetest and tenderest words may be Spoken Which cast a veil o'er the years yet unseen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
