Excellent interviewer, btw: marti ruli, you helped mr. davern with this book. |
|||
yes. |
|||
i'll ask you the direct question . what happened, and what do we know now that we didn't know then? |
|||
well, there was a fight aboard "the splendor" the night natalie died, a terrible argument. that was never relayed to the original investigators. and none of the survivors, walken, wagner or dennis , were forthcoming with the investigators. and it was probably in 1983 when the information about the bottle smashing came out. |
|||
this was in an argument between wagner and wood. |
|||
yes. now, everyone was present for the bottle-smashing. that was after the party of four left doug's harbor reef for dinner. they returned to "the splendor," were in the main salon. robert wagner , after natalie and christopher were chatting, picked up a wine bottle and smashed it hard down on the coffee table. and it shattered. everyone protected themselves from the glass flying everywhere. walken went to his cabin, never came out for the rest of the night. |
|||
right. he goes to sleep. so then what -- what happens? i mean, i've just heard mr. davern say he thinks wagner is responsible for his wife's death. what happened? |
|||
natalie was mortified, went to her state room . wagner followed. a terrible argument transpired that broke out to the back deck. dennis overheard the arguing, he did make an attempt to stop it, was told to go away by robert wagner . and then minutes later, natalie was missing. dennis was asked to search the boat. he did, he couldn't find natalie . he met up with wagner in the wheel house . dennis wanted to do everything. make a phone call , turn on the search light . his instincts told him something was terribly wrong. and robert wagner asked him not to. |
|||
i want to stop at that point. mr. davern, wagner said not to. not to take direct steps that could help identify where natalie wood was. had she fallen off the boat. that's what you're saying. |
|||
yes. we didn't take any steps to see if we could locate her. |
|||
do you have any evidence, any information to say that there was foul play, that this was murder, that he was responsible for her being pushed off the boat? or was it a matter of him simply saying, "we're not going to look too hard." |
|||
i think it was a matter of we're not going to look too hard. we're not going to turn on the search light , we're not going to notify anybody right at the moment. |
|||
you never told the police that at the time, did you? |
|||
no. |
|||
why not? |
|||
well, because we all had -- we all had our story to tell the homicide detectives at the time. and that's the story i told. |
|||
so you agreed with robert wagner to tell a story he wanted you to tell, and not the truth. |
|||
yes. |
|||
why should anyone believe you now, when you didn't tell the truth then? |
|||
well, at that time, my life was just totally, totally crazy at that time. and you know, i don't think there was a time where i was even able to even think straight. |
|||
any message you have for robert wagner this morning? |
|||
no. |
|||
we're going to leave it there. dennis davern, thank you very much. marti ruli, thank you. |
|||
thank you. |

Images
Shouldn't we have a image of Robort Wagner? He is a famous actor, after all.

These are not photos of Robert Wagner. Can't see how to change photos.

Stopover Tokyo
- You should mention about Stopover Tokyo, should not you ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.102.225.227 (talk • contribs)
TITANIC??
Why the article doesnt mention his famous movie "Titanic" from 1953??? Ok, he was not the main actor, but was among the main five performers there. His role wasnt small at all. --Fredyrod 00:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Sean Henry Simpson
The first sentence of the bio includes the following..."known primarily for his recurring role as Sean Henry Simpson..." According to the edit history, this language was inserted on 16 Nov 07 before "in movies, soap operas and TV", a statement that has been in the bio for sometime, and is correct in the original context, i.e. known for his roles in movies, soap operas and TV. Adding the part about Sean Henry Simpson alters the sentence considerable, and makes it no longer correct.
Stephanie Powers
Stephanie Powers is a "legendary" actress? Hardly. The tone of this entire article does not sound neutral. 199.43.32.85 (talk) 21:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree - not neutral in places. Did Robert Wagner write this page?? For example : "Since the role has him marry Evelyn, I assume he will be on the show now and then. Wagner at the age of 78 still has the looks and health of a man 45 to 50 years old." This reads like a fan site page ... needs rewording and statements like that quoted need citation.

"Heaven and Hell"
There is no mention of Robert Wagner portraying "Cooper Main" in the third installment of the "North and South" mini-series (based on the books written by John Jakes). The series was a huge success for the ABC network. The role of "Cooper Main" was a leading role and Robert Wagner needs to get credit for this one!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.77.248.49 (talk) 18:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
meeting Mr Wagner
I was working on the fox lot when Mr Wagner was filming Hart To Hart we just happen to use the same screening room in the moring he screen the dailies before shotting that day but he always made it a point to go to the projection room and thank the projectionest, and always said good morning to me, his a very kind person and I made it a point to also thank the guys in the both, I got to say that everyone on the fox lot loved him. I made it a point to buy his sward from his movie prince Valiant , I was going to give it to him till I found out that he did'nt like that movie, I still have his sward, its yours Mr wagner when ever you want it. your friend.

Citations needed
In the wake of someone coming in and adding yet a new round of accusations regarding the death of Natalie Wood and the insinuation that Wagner was actively involved in it, I went through earlier today and added quite a number of citation needed tags to unsourced facts, mostly to items about his personal life. I won't leave this material uncited for long, so please, regular editors, back up the article. Thank you. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:40, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
