Robert Wagner

Father of Katie Wagner with Marion Marshall and Courtney Wagner (born 1974) with Natalie Wood.

Engaged to Tina Sinatra (1971-1972).

Has made seven movies with wife Jill St. John : Banning , How I Spent My Summer Vacation , "Around the World in 80 Days" (1989/I) , The Player , Something to Believe In , The Calling (2002/I) , and Northpole . On television, the couple also appeared together in episodes of "Hart to Hart" and "Seinfeld" .

He sued Aaron Spelling Productions for $20 million in June 2000, charging that he was cheated out of profits on the Fox soap opera "Beverly Hills, 90210" . He claimed that he was entitled to profits as part of a ten-year-old settlement between producer Aaron Spelling and Fox that gave Spelling the right to produce "Beverly Hills, 90210" in exchange for "Angels 88", a never-produced series in which Wagner had a stake. According to the suit, the conflict dates back to 1973 when he and his then wife, Natalie Wood , made a deal with Spelling to submit ideas for pilots to ABC. One idea that the couple submitted led to the action series "Charlies Angels" . Following the terms of their deal, Spelling, Wagner and Wood equally shared profits from the series. In 1988, Spelling developed a new series, "Angels 88". According to the terms of their contract, Wagner was to receive 7.5% profit participation -- whether or not he rendered services. Fox committed to the series, without his knowledge, and then reneged, giving Spelling "Beverly Hills, 90210" instead. Since Spelling was given "Beverly Hills, 90210" in exchange for an asset in which Wagner had an interest, Wagner claimed that he is entitled to the same profit participation on "Beverly Hills, 90210" as he had on "Angels 88". The suit alleges breach of contract and fraud and seeks 7.5% of gross profits from "Beverly Hills, 90210" as well as damages of not less than $20 million.

Former brother-in-law of Lana Wood.

Wagners wife, Jill St. John starred in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever which also featured his late former wifes real-life sister, Lana Wood. During a photo shoot of former Bond Girls in 1999 for Vanity Fair magazine, an altercation occurred between Wood and St. John when photographer Annie Leibovitz asked for a picture of them together. Reportedly, St. John was so adamantly opposed to the idea that it reduced Wood to tears. However, her publicist said it was he who vetoed the photo because Wagner would prefer his present wife not be shot with his former sister-in-law.

Cooperated with Gavin Lambert (author of the novel and screenplay Inside Daisy Clover that starred Wagners late wife Natalie Wood on Lamberts biography "Natalie Wood" . A friend of Woods, Lambert believed that Woods memory was sullied by the tabloid headlines generated by her tragic death, with the result that no one remembers his friend as a human being, and so wrote the book to correct the publics misconceptions about Wood.
