Lindsay Wagner’s smile has always looked effortless on screen, but behind it was a private life marked by four marriages and four painful endings. While audiences watched her become Hollywood’s beloved Jaime Sommers, Wagner was learning that real love rarely followed the neat endings of television romances.

Her marriages each arrived during different chapters of her life—a music publisher as her career was beginning, a fellow actor during her years of fame, a stuntman whose world overlapped with hers on set, and finally a producer in a quiet ceremony away from Hollywood’s spotlight. Each relationship eventually ended, leaving Wagner to reconsider what she truly wanted and whether marriage was supposed to define her happiness.
