    I hope "Mr. Hart" still experiences success!

    He was also great in the Pink Panther. How did he like working with David Niven and Peter Sellers?

    BTW How is he doing for money? I saw him late night in some cheesy commercial.

    Robert Wagner is the ultimate gentlemen. Listening to his composure, and his etiquette and elan, is like drinking the finest wine while listening to the best music, in the most elegant surroundings. He exudes taste and class. He never says anything negative about anybody or anything and is always genteel and loving. Like they said about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, "[She] taught the whole world how to behave." Robert Wagner teaches "the whole world how to behave." A wonderful treat. Thank you Leonard Lopate.

    Yes, he shares his wine with OJ. they should team up on a book about how to get away with murder in California.
