NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Robert Wagner says he was so distraught over the break-up of his first marriage to actress Natalie Wood that he pondered suicide and would sit with a gun outside the home of her lover, Warren Beatty, intent on killing him.
"Pieces of My Heart," Wagner's autobiography released this week, reveals details of his career and life, including the split with Wood, their decision to remarry a decade later and her drowning death in 1981.
"I was pretty young, and I don't think I could have ever gone through with that act, but I was pretty frustrated and upset," Wagner, 78, told Reuters in an interview.
Beatty, who met Wood on the set of "Splendor in the Grass," in 1961 "was pretty smooth, very attractive. He was the man," Wagner said.
Wagner's family moved to Los Angeles in the late 1930s and he ran in Hollywood circles as a child. Fred Astaire would pick him up at school because Wagner was friendly with the legendary dancer's stepson. He caddied for Clark Gable and dated the daughter of actress Gloria Swanson.
Over time, Wagner was put under contract at 20th Century Fox. When Barbara Stanwyck, then 45, and Wagner, 22, met on the set of "Titanic," they began a discreet, four-year relationship. Wagner said she was his first love.
"The greatest thing that she gave me was a sense of self esteem. That she thought the way she did about me and took the time with me meant everything in the world," Wagner said.

Ah, I may have my celebs mixed up. Not exactly Mr. Hollywood.
So maybe I don’t respect him.
Nice skull...
The name of that movie was, "A Night to Remember."
"Titanic" was the Leonardo diCaprio effort.
As a side note, Splendor in the Grass was filmed in a pre-Verezzano Staten Island, although it took place in Kansas.
And, "It takes real courage to be as old as you and have nothing." Equally brilliant!!
I refuse to have a word spoken against that movie!
In a possibly related vein, Barbara Stanwyck was widely reputed to be a lesbian. Her marriage to Robert Taylor was a studio put-up job which he eventually got tired of and left her. She was never known to date again after that.
Not saying any of this is true, but that is the gossip.

This guy is the luckiest SOB on the face of the earth. Married to Natalie Wood AND THEN Jill St. John. Numbers 1 and 2 on Timy’s lust list.
Stop posting, we have a winner!
Beatty’s Bulworth was an act of audience abuse.
His hip hop rendition of socialism while made up like a minstrel was jaw dropping.
Did he mull attacking him with ill-tempered sea bass?
"Titanic" was the Leonardo diCaprio effort.
Nope. "A Night to Remember" was a 1958 British production. "Titanic" was a 1953 US movie. There's also a German "Titanic" made by the Nazis. A bore (TMC runs it occasionally) but some of its special effects shots were used by ANTR.
Have you seen “The Trial of Billy Jack?”
Ishtar is Citizen Cane and Exorcist II is Casablanca in comparison.
It’s that bad.

I stand corrected.
As Tony Curtis once said, "Stand on the corner of Hollywood and Vine long enough and someone will walk up and say 'Bubba Ho-Tep is a fag'."
Natalie Wood
She was a beautiful woman!
Miss Zakharenko was definately a hottie.
Cut it out! Geez, you got to see Isabelle Adjani’s boobs. What do you want?
