Since Wood’s passing, Wagner has consistently preserved her legacy. In his book, I Loved Her in the Movies: Memories of Hollywood’s Legendary Actresses, he paid tributes to his loving wife and expressed his frustration at her death.
“Natalie was swept away by motherhood, it was a total home run for her. She was devoted to our girls,” he wrote. “When Natalie died, I thought my life was over. Luckily I had the help of a great many people who loved her and who loved me as well.”
