When you hear the name Robert Wagner, what comes to mind? For many, it's the tragic loss of his beloved wife, actress Natalie Wood, in 1981. But for Robert himself, it's a different story. The legendary star of Hart to Hart has moved past that heartbreak and is now focusing on celebrating life—especially as he approaches his 90th birthday on February 10. Can you believe it? Ninety years of living, loving, and thriving!
According to an insider close to the actor, Robert plans to keep things simple for his big day.
