Now, y...:-) I am in a state of conflict over RJ. Now, you know by now that a person could have HALF the career that he has and still be profiled in The Underworld. A part of me loves him because he was in The Towering Inferno, Hart to Hart and other projects I like, but another part of me rejects him for things that I feel he isn't being forthright about or in some cases is being downright dishonest about (yes... Miss B.S.) Apart from all that, I thought it was distasteful that he felt the need to go through his "life story" and constantly point out, whether it was relevant or not, whether a person was gay or not. And usually the "gay" ones were dead... Annoying. I'm not saying he won't one day merit (ooooh, it's such an honor! LOL) a tribute. He is caught in the shifting tides of The Underworld right now.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-42326836934230966212011-02-08T16:27:51.273-05:002011-02-08T16:27:51.273-05:00I see you mention Robert Wagner three times elsewh...I see you mention Robert Wagner three times elsewhere in your "lair" but he's not the central character in any of the entries. I remember thinking he was incredibly good-looking at one point but somewhat of a lightweight, so I'm not sure his body of work merits your full attention, but I'd love to hear about your objections to some of the items in his book. I would bet his chapter on Barbara Stanwyck is one such sore point.Topazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514508159702613771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-36057967447839383262011-02-08T09:05:41.375-05:002011-02-08T09:05:41.375-05:00I should also add that when I was writing this art...I should also add that when I was writing this article (or whatever it is!), I recalled that story (how could anyone forget it?! lol) and wrote about it, but I thought it was later, like in 1970s L.A. I researched it to be sure I knew the scoop and that's when I rediscovered that it was 1962. I didn't change my wording about it much, if at all, for whatever reason. So I do want it to be clear that I applaud the things I said, but I do NOT applaud adultery (especially that which is kept secret from a devoted partner!)

Looking like he did and with his level of fame I'll guess that was pretty tame compared to some of his escapades.<br /><br />And I would bet that Robert Wagner took full advantage of that secret viewing room to see Danton in action. Strictly for research purposes, of course. He knew some day far in the future he'd be writing a book about his brilliant career.Topazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514508159702613771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-5115828580752428222011-02-08T07:49:53.069-05:002011-02-08T07:49:53.069-05:00Yeah, Topaz, I grappled with that, too, but a) we ...Yeah, Topaz, I grappled with that, too, but a) we never really know what in the world goes on in those movie star marriages - they seem to set their own ground rules and there always seems to be a lot we aren't privy to, despite all the gossip and b) you'll notice I put "quotes" around RJ's autobiography, which I found to be incredibly disputable in more than one instance. That story is what HE says happened... but I hear ya!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-73218830100922974502011-02-08T06:34:08.172-05:002011-02-08T06:34:08.172-05:00Great post on Julia and Ray whom one knew so littl...Great post on Julia and Ray whom one knew so little about ...<br /><br />you really must get to see The Chapman Report - you will simply love it!Michael O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820802843771524920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-10798890840494899352011-02-08T00:22:28.120-05:002011-02-08T00:22:28.120-05:00loved the "jimmy" trivia!
