Review
Robert Wagner is outrageously indiscreet in his zinging account of Hollywood affairs ... His on-off-on-again life with Natalie Wood is one of Hollywood's greatest love stories ... His memoirs cannot help but be entertaining Sunday Times Reads like a Who's Who of Hollywood. It's fantastic to find out about that era and the stars he knew, being married to Natalie Wood and friends with Bette Davis. What a story he has to tell. Mirror

Format:Hardcover
Very honest biography. The best I have read this year. Well written and heartwarming biography which is probably aimed at women more than men.
In keeping with the title the book tells of Robert's many love affairs and how they affected his life. He tells his life story with amazing honesty and some facts are revealed for the first time.
His tales of spending time with the Hollywood Greats, Frank Sinatra etc.
are amusing and give a real insight into stars real lives.
Some wonderful photos included.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - AN ENTERTAINING LIGHT READ

I really enjoyed "Pieces of My Heart" by Robert Wagner. I am a major fan of old Hollywood so it was great to have Robert's insight into the lives and antics of some of its stars. Yes, he does, at times, tend to gush over some of the older stars. They were his heroes, so why shouldn't he. ? He doesn't hold back in his opinions about people. He calls it as he sees it. It may not make for easy reading at times but it is honest.

Yes, I agree with the reviewer who complained that RJW does tend to gush a bit about his male buddies, but that's luvvies - sorry, actors - for you. Other than that I found it a compelling and really surprisingly honest read - about his career, his films, and his women. (He has some impressive notches on his bedpost and it's perhaps not quite gentlemanly to mention them... but let's face it, that's usually what we read these books for, isn't it?)
He does come across as a decent chap with some flaws which perhaps he isn't aware of, but he does tell some very good stories and he doesn't pull his punches. I couldn't wait to get back to it and read it in less than 24 hours. So if you're interested in Hollywood from the 1950s to the 1970s - get a copy.

Entertaining
I have always though Wagner was a handsome, charming, decent man with what appeared to be a charmed life, with the exception of Natalie's death and that probably does sum him up. Read more

A good read, if a little treacly
The first half of this book is terrific. Robert Wagner was a star-struck young actor who hung out and occasionally worked with many of the greats - Spencer Tracy, Fred Astaire,... Read more

Awful. Yes, even worse than The Gospel According To Chris Moyles, but at least Chris wrote it all by himself. Read more
