First things first we send our deepest condolences to Robert for losing his wife. Roberts was not really in the spotlight like his wife Gena but that was no obstacle to how they loved each other. Robert loved his wife and was unafraid to show it to the public regardless of her fame and money.
He always supported her in her work and made a couple of appearances in most of her show premieres like The Notebook and Hysterical Blindness. One interesting fact is that before Robert married Gena after the death of her first husband John Cassavetes, he was one of their closest friends. He was always there for her after John died and one thing led to another and they fell in love with each other.
Robert had always kept a low profile and not much is known about him, but not to worry, let’s talk a little bit about his wife Gena Rowlands. Gena was quite one of the greatest and most talented actresses of her generation and it’s no debate. She has left quite a huge void in the acting scene and she will always be loved and remembered for many years to come.
