Believe it or not, today is the 78th birthday of TV leading man Robert Wagner. He starred as Alexander Mundy in It Takes a Thief (1968-1970), as con man-detective Peterson T. Ryan (opposite Eddie Albert) in Switch (1975-1978), and as Jonathan Hart, the super-rich sleuth (and husband to Stefanie Powers’ Jennifer Hart) in Hart to Hart (1979-1984). Somehow, the Detroit-born Wagner also managed to marry actress Natalie Wood--twice. Lucky bastard.
Here’s to you, Mr. Wagner.

Don't forget that he played against type as the villain in the film adaptation of Ira Levin's A Kiss Before Dying.
And he was Dr. Evil's number 2 in the Austin Powers movies, the menacing, but very business savy, Number Two.
