ROBERT WAGNER – I LOVED HER IN THE MOVIES: MEMORIES OF HOLLYWOOD'S LEGENDARY ACTRESSES (2016 Unabridged Audiobook) Robert Wagner

Film and television actor and New York Times best-selling author Robert Wagner's memoir of the great women movie stars he has known.

In a career that has spanned more than 60 years, Robert Wagner has witnessed the twilight of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the rise of television, becoming a beloved star in both media. During that time he became acquainted, both professionally and socially, with the remarkable women who were the greatest screen personalities of their day.

I Loved Her in the Movies: Memories of Hollywood’s Legendary Actresses is Wagner’s intimate and revealing account of the charisma of these women on film, why they became stars, and how their specific emotional and dramatic chemistries affected the choices they made as actresses as well as the choices they made as women. With warmth, admiration, and insight, Wagner shares his personal memories of some of Hollywood’s most iconic leading ladies.

Among Wagner's subjects are Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Swanson, Norma Shearer, Loretta Young, Joan Blondell, Irene Dunne, Rosalind Russell, Dorothy Lamour, Debra Paget, Jean Peters, Linda Darnell, Betty Hutton, Raquel Welch, Glenn Close, and the two actresses whom he ultimately married, Natalie Wood and Jill St. John.

In addition to offering perceptive commentary on these women, Wagner also examines topics such as the strange alchemy of the camera - how it can transform the attractive into the stunning and vice versa - and how the introduction of color brought a new erotic charge to movies, one that enabled these actresses to become aggressively sexual beings in a way that that black and white films had only hinted at.

Narrated by Wagner himself, this audiobook offers listeners a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives and careers of these remarkable women, as well as his friendships and working relationships with them. Wagner brings each actress to life, recounting stories that highlight their unique personalities, strengths, and vulnerabilities, while also reflecting on the challenges they faced within the industry.

Like Wagner's two previous best sellers, I Loved Her in the Movies is a privileged look behind the scenes at some of the most well-known women in show business as well as an insightful look at the sexual and romantic attraction that created their magic.

Filled with charm and nostalgia, I Loved Her in the Movies is more than just a collection of memories; it’s a love letter to the actresses who helped define a golden era of cinema.

For fans of classic Hollywood and lovers of cinema history, this audiobook is a graceful, intimate journey through a world of elegance, artistry, and timeless talent, brought vividly to life by an actor who was part of it all.
