A New York Times bestseller and a “charming tribute” (Kirkus) to Hollywood’s most beloved era

Film and television star Robert Wagner has been delighting audiences for more than sixty years, and his many fans flocked to bookstores when he began to record his memories on the page. In his second New York Times bestseller, Wagner shares stories of Hollywood life behind the scenes from the 1930s through the 1950s. As poignant as it is revealing—and filled with magical moments like Judy Garland singing Gershwin at a dinner party thrown by Clifton Webb and golf games with Fred Astaire—You Must Remember This is Wagner’s tender farewell to a legendary era.

~Douglass K. Daniel, Associated Press

" [A] charming tribute to off-screen lives during a period many may regard as Hollywood's finest."
~Kirkus Reviews

"With great affection and a twinkle in his eye, veteran actor Wagner recalls Hollywood's glory days of the 1940s and early 1950s, when class, manners, friendship, and a code of values ruled the city of stars."

This is a fascinating story of a time long gone. It has historical and personal memories of Hollywood's beginnings and how it changed into the 21st century shared by one who experienced a lot of it 1st hand. Robert Wagner is factual with a somewhat respectful grace in looking back. I really enjoyed his own reading of it and hearing a bit of his feelings about it in his tone

I grew up watching TCM so I’ve always had a love for Hollywood and what actually occurred rather than what was portrayed. I read this after reading Wagner’s other books. I enjoyed this front to cover and think anyone who is a fan of Robert Wagner or Old Hollywood will enjoy.

Great book!

Robert Wagner has interesting stories about the Hollywood of old and he tells them with great love and admiration. This book is a great read for young and old. I enjoyed it very much. I'm only sorry the illustrations didn't come as part of the book.

Interesting stories of a city and business long gone. Interesting enough, but mostly about places and people I was only vaguely familiar with.
