Roger LaVerne Smith (December 18, 1932 – June 4, 2017) was an American television and film actor and screenwriter. He starred in the television detective series 77 Sunset Strip and in the comedy series Mister Roberts. Smith went on to manage the career of Ann-Margret, his wife of 50 years.
Smith married twice. His first wife (1956–65) was Australian-born actress Victoria Shaw, and together they had three children: daughter Tracey (b. 1957), and sons Jordan (b. 1958) and Dallas (b. 1961). Smith and Shaw divorced in 1965.
He married Ann-Margret on May 8, 1967. He became her manager, but he largely retired due to his battle with myasthenia gravis.
