Jill St. John

Writer Christopher Lucas

I've been searching for a book about her but . . . nothing. She's been around Hollywood for so long and no doubt has slept with a lot of interesting men/women (?) and, since a lot of them are gone, Miss St. John could probably come up with a juicy beach read, at the very least. I know I'd buy it. I've always wondered if she was into bearding when she was younger (and possibly today, since she's married to Robert Wagner) but you rarely hear anything about/from her. I know she's 80 now, but Inquiring minds still want to know.

She's straight, but no time for men, she pours her energy into her St. John clothing line.

Wrong, r1. She devotes her time to improving pizza recipes for Papa Johns.

She looks great for 80 in OP's pic.

The first episode of Hart to Hart stars Robert Wagner's TV wife, his soon-to-be dead wife, and his next wife, all of whom were in the same dance class as little girls. Creepy.

Despite the "St. John" she is actually Jewish, daughter of Edward Oppenheim (her real last name) and Betty Goldberg

She's the poor man's Arlene Dahl.

Is she the one that’s a witch or head of a hollywood coven or something?

OP, Natasha Gregson Wagner's book, More Than Love, about her mother, Natalie Wood, has some stuff about Jill St. John in it.

Permanent C-list starlet who married up.

Didn't she smash a champagne bottle over Lana Wood's head after Lana crashed some party and accused Robert Waggoner of murdering Natalie?

Is her surname pronounced "Sinjin"?

After thr break, we'll talk with Susan St. James, top fashion model for St. John Knits.

She was Sidney Korshak's mistress for a time. I read about them in a Korshak bio; he was a Hollywood fixer linked to the Chicago mob.

Most Bond girls don't do much of note after their Bond films.

This from her Wikipedia:

In between four marriages, St. John dated entertainment, sports, and political personalities including Ben Barnes, Gianni Bulgari, Sammy Cahn, Michael Caine, Oleg Cassini, Barry Coe, Sean Connery, Ahmet Ertegun, Robert Evans, Glenn Ford, David Frost, Bill Hudson, Henry Kissinger, Sidney Korshak, Sandy Koufax, Peter Lawford, George Lazenby, Trini López, Tom Mankiewicz, George Montgomery, Jack Nicholson, Ogden Mills Phipps, Roman Polanski, Alejandro Rey, Tom Selleck, Frank Sinatra, U Thant, Robert Vaughn, Giovanni Volpi and Adam West.[19] St. John was also romantically linked with criminal court judge Jerome M. Becker, ski instructor Ricky Head, Olympic ski champion Brownie Barnes, plastic surgeon Steven Zax, investment broker Lenny Ross, Chicago businessman Delbert W. Coleman and Brazilian entrepreneur Francisco "Baby" Pignatari.[20] She was engaged to Miami real estate developer Robert Blum in 1974, but called off the engagement.[1]

Umm - she was a thirsty pass around - that's what I got from reading all of this.

Her and Stefanie Powers. Birds of a C-list feather flock together. Both enabling bottom feeders.

I believe it was a fondue pot, r14.

Sandy Koufax? Wasn’t he a major closet case?

R23 - TRINI LOPEZ!! Yeah - quite a few suspicious gay men in that list.

I like how her wiki page lists her fuckbuddies to make up for the lack of an impressive resumé.

by Anonymousreply 27August 9, 2021 6:38 PM

She was "Molly" in Batman!

by Anonymousreply 28August 9, 2021 6:39 PM

She was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1964 for Come Blow Your Horn.

Not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things but noteworthy for a bond girl from that time period.

Jill us smart enough to know she lucked out several times in life. She'd have nothing to prove by writing a tell-all...at least until Robert Wagner is dead and couldn't drown her.

by Anonymousreply 31August 9, 2021 6:55 PM

Jill was a classy dame. Not the type to screw and tell. Wagner has all that TV money so she never has to. She was memorable in those old tv show and had something that set her just a little bit above the rest.

by Anonymousreply 32August 9, 2021 7:11 PM

She couldn't be accused of not staying in her own lane...

I always thought she was quite beautiful.

All of her marriages were very short, a couple of years, until she hooked up with RJ. Wonder why.

R20 — R27 — She sounds like a gay man who has put her talents to use. A true DL icon!

Only thing I remember about her is that she was married to David McCallum.

Wasn’t she married to Barbara Hutton’s son for a while?

She did get around, didn’t she?

She pulled Barbara Hutton's son Lance Reventlow. Jill was a knockout. The marriages lasted on average two or three years, until RJ.

In the documentary by Natalie’s daughter, there were a few digs at her as a step parent. But in her defense, can you imagine stepping into that family after that tragedy?

She was one of Sinatra’s fav “dates” because, like Angie Dickerson, she was a game gal who never expected anything but a good time.

I’ve always liked her, but the story up thread about her smashing Lana Wood with. Champagne bottle makes me live her.

by Anonymousreply 45August 9, 2021 11:11 PM

She played Rosemary Hoyt in the movie version of Tender Is The Night, starring Jennifer Jones.

by Anonymousreply 46August 9, 2021 11:42 PM

After Jack Jones in 1969 it looks like Jill gave up on love for twenty years and just worked her ass off until she hooked up with RJ in 1990. She did a bunch of Love Boats, a couple of Fantasy Islands, typical 70s fare for a B actress.

I could see her, Sharon Stone, and Morgan Fairchild sitting around talking about their high IQs and Mensa memberships.
