#Quote
1[on Linda Darnell] Experienced, beautiful and nice--a nice person.
2[on working with Paul Muni on A Song to Remember (1945)] He was very difficult to work with. He said he didn't want to hear how I did it, he had no interest in how I portrayed it, he had his own conception of [Frédéric Chopin] and he told me he'd worked on his role in relation to that conception, and he didn't care how I played it. And that was the approach to teamwork on that film.
3Acting is not just "another day, another dollar". If I hate a script or think it's foolish or in bad taste, I'm miserable.
4I realized long ago that I could not depend on luck to bring me success. I worked hard, extra hard to improve my chance by increasing my abilities and my experience. It was my goal to accomplish, in my life, something of value and to do it with self-respect and integrity.
#Fact
1He and Ida Lupino became good friends while filming Road House (1948). They found common ground in their liberal political beliefs.
2Featured in "Bad Boys: The Actors of Film Noir" by Karen Burroughs Hannsberry (McFarland, 2003).
3A vintage year for "beefcake bondage" in his film career was 1952. In At Sword's Point (1952), he appeared bound and stripped to the waist in a torture chamber where his torso was burned with a hot iron. In California Conquest (1952), he appeared stripped to the waist and bound to a tree where he was lashed across the chest with a whip.
4Interred at Westwood Memorial Park, Los Angeles, CA.
5Although most records indicate Wilde was born in New York City, the 1930 U.S. Census and the California Death Records database both state that he was born in Hungary.
6His role as Tybalt in the 1940 Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh led to a Warner Brothers contract.
7Chosen for the 1936 Olympic fencing team in Berlin, he turned down the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actively pursue acting.
8Enrolled as a pre-med student at the City College of New York (CCNY) and completed the four-year course in three years (CCNY at that time was tuition-free and admitted only the best scholars). He was a member of CCNY's fencing team.
9Prior to his film career, Wilde had various jobs--commercial artist, toy salesman at Macy's, newspaper advertising and Boys' Club counselor.
10He graduated from Townsend Harris High School for gifted students in New York at the age of 14. Townsend Harris was affiliated with CCNY, the college he entered upon graduation.
11At his death he was editing his autobiography, "My Very Wilde Life, " and working on a sequel to his acclaimed film The Naked Prey (1965).
12Spoke Hungarian, French, German, English, Italian and Russian.
13Daughter with first wife Patricia Knight: Wendy Wilde, born February 22, 1943. Son with second wife Jean Wallace: Cornel Wilde, Jr.
