ROBERT WAGNER
       

NAME: Robert Wagner
  BORN: 10/02/1930
  BIRTH PLACE: Detroit, USA

       

BIOGRAPHY
Robert Wagner was the son of a Detroit steel executive. When his family moved to Los Angeles, his original interest in becoming a businessman was replaced by a fascination with the film industry. Thanks to his father’s connections, he was able to make regular visits to the big studios.

       

Soon, a talent scout noticed Wagner, and he made his debut in ‘The Happy Years’ in 1950, then he signed with 20th Century Fox. He played romantic leads with ease, but it wasn’t until he took on the role of a shell-shocked war veteran, in ‘With a Song in My Heart’, that studio executives recognized his potential as a dramatic actor.
