Legends of Aspen - "Jill St. John and Robert Wagner"

Robert Wagner and Jill St. John are probably Colorado’s most celebrated couple — and hands down the most cordial. His life has included films (good and bad), a lot of TV (most recently “Two and a Half Men”) and a parade of women, including Barbara Stanwick (he was 22, she was 45), and Liz Taylor (“She’s so beautiful, so sweet, just a wonderful person, It just scrambles your brains up — in a good way.”) He married Natalie Wood twice, and hooked up with St. John after Wood’s death. Since then, Aspen and Colorado have been focal points in his life. It’s where he finally found his peace. Wagner and St. John live on 7 1/2 acres - in a house they built, with view of mountains and trees, but not other houses. He writes that it is here that he is at home - forever. “When my time comes, I will be buried in Aspen, in an old cemetery that was originally laid out in the nineteenth century,” he writes at the end of his book. “A lot of children are buried there, and it’s in the middle of a glade of aspen and birch trees - very wild and overgrown. As soon as someone is laid to rest, the land is allowed to return to its natural state … It’s absolutely pure and totally peaceful.” Know Aspen. Watch GrassRoots.
