Los Angeles homicide detectives are reopening Natalie Wood’s 1981 death case, casting renewed attention on Robert Wagner, whose life has dramatically changed amid personal and family struggles over the decades.
Born in Detroit in 1930, Wagner moved to Los Angeles as a child. Early experiences caddying and meeting Hollywood stars like Clark Gable inspired his lifelong acting career and pursuit of stardom.
Wagner gained fame through films like Titanic and Prince Valiant and television shows including It Takes a Thief, Hart to Hart, and NCIS, demonstrating versatility and professional longevity in Hollywood.
His personal life intertwined with tragedy, including the death of Natalie Wood. Wagner remarried Jill St John in 1990, supporting family and managing challenges like daughters’ struggles and health issues.
Now 94 with dementia, Wagner lives quietly in Aspen, Colorado, cared for by Jill, surrounded by family, while the renewed investigation into Wood’s death continues to generate public interest.
