Robert Wagner is not slowing down at 95! The star of Hart to Hart, The Pink Panther, and the Austin Powers movies started his birthday on February 10, 2025, with energy to spare. A video shared exclusively with PEOPLE captures Wagner engaging in his workout routine. His daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, added to the festive spirit by posting similar footage on her Natalie Fragrance Instagram account, featuring Frank Sinatra’s classic hit, 'My Way.' "Still doing things his way at 95," Natasha captioned the clip, wishing her father the best on his special day.
Wagner, who has made significant contributions to Hollywood over the last seven decades, is celebrating with family and friends at Cache Cache, a French-American bistro located in Aspen, Colorado. According to PEOPLE, Wagner’s official Instagram account commemorated his milestone with nostalgic images showcasing his life from childhood to the present.
"For over seven decades, he has graced our screens with unforgettable performances, timeless charm, and an enduring legacy in Hollywood. Today, we celebrate not just an incredible career but an incredible man. Wishing you a day filled with love, joy, and the admiration of all who appreciate your work. Happy Birthday, RJ!" wrote his team.
Born on February 10, 1930, Wagner's life has been marked by tremendous success and deep personal trials. He is best known for film roles including those in With a Song in My Heart and The Towering Inferno, as well as iconic television shows such as It Takes a Thief and Hart to Hart. His complex legacy is also intertwined with his relationships, most famously with actress Natalie Wood, to whom he was married twice.
Wood's tragic death has shadowed Wagner's career and personal life. She drowned off the coast of California on November 29, 1981, on the yacht they were vacationing on, stirring longstanding public interest and speculation. Wagner remained married to Wood during their first union from 1957 to 1962 and later remarried her from 1972 until her passing. He was cleared as a person of interest after the incident was reopened for investigation years later.
Natasha has consistently defended her father against accusations related to her mother's death. "No one in my world questioned my dad's love for my mom or his utter despair at her loss. We can never know with complete certainty how my mother ended up in the water," she noted emotionally in her 2020 book, More Than Love, An Intimate Portrait of My Mother, Natalie Wood.
Wagner's life extends beyond his roles and relationships, set against the backdrop of Hollywood history. His second marriage to actress Jill St. John, which began long before they wed in 1990, showcases his ability to find companionship. St. John remains Wagner's anchor and partner close by as he navigates life during his later years.
Notably, Wagner had guest appearances on NCIS as Anthony DiNozzo Sr., solidifying his presence on television even as he approaches his centennial year. His charm remains undiminished, and his active social media presence allows him to connect with fans who have adored him through the decades.
Now nearing 100, Wagner's remarkable life is filled with both triumph and tragedy. He continues to be celebrated not only as one of the most beloved actors of his generation but also as someone whose resilience is honored by friends and fans alike. Wagner has proven time and time again to be much more than just the roles he portrayed.
On this significant birthday, as Robert Wagner receives the love and admiration of those closest to him, the legacy he leaves will be forever cherished by the thousands of people he has entertained and inspired throughout his lengthy career.
