“Pieces of My Heart” is the title to Robert Wagner’s autobiography. According to Reuters, Wagner admits to having an affair with Barbara Stanwyck.
I’m really glad I know that now because I don’t know what my life would be without having learned that.
The book also discusses the drowning incident of his wife, Natalie Wood.
The product description notes:
“In this moving memoir, Robert J. Wagner opens his heart to share the romances, the drama, and the humor of an incredible life.
He grew up in Bel Air next door to a golf course that changed his life. As a young boy, he saw a foursome playing one morning featuring none other than Fred Astaire, Clark Gable, Randolph Scott, and Cary Grant.
Seeing these giants of the silver screen awed him and fueled his dreams of becoming a movie star. Battling a revolving door of boarding schools and a father who wanted him to forget Hollywood and join the family business, sixteen-year-old Wagner started like any naive kid would -- walking along Sunset Boulevard, hoping that a producer or director would notice him.”
Reuters states: “Few could spin stories with the star power that's been a part of Wagner's world: Tracy, Astaire and Frank Sinatra rank particularly high with him; director Ronald Neame and a few others less so.”
