About this listen
A New York Times best seller and a “charming tribute” (Kirkus) to Hollywood’s most beloved era film and television star Robert Wagner has been delighting audiences for more than 60 years, and his many fans flocked to bookstores when he began to record his memories on the page. In his second New York Times best seller, 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.

Critic reviews
"In terms of grace and style, you couldn't ask for a better tour director than actor Robert Wagner." (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." (Publishers Weekly)

Interesting But not what I thought
This is a book about the history of Hollywood buildings and people.
I thought it would be about Robert Wagner exclusively. But having said that it was all the more interesting. Well read and very entertaining I thought.

Terrific tales from Hollywood
A terrific collection of Hollywood tales interwoven with Wagner’s own journey through the studios from extra to contract player to established star.
Fantastic listen that could only be narrated by the author or it wouldn’t hold the same weight.

Incredible age of glamour
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A curates egg,good in parts
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hollywood itself was the star
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Going on a bit to far at the end
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from You Must Remember This?
The second half
Any additional comments?
The stories of how Hollywood came to exist were fascinating but the latter part of the book was boring to say the least,all those restaurants most of which I'd never heard of.Wagner was never a major star & the constant name dropping didn't convince me that he had been.
