Don't forget the unforgettable: Member of the Wedding! He was a natural; hypnotic in every way.
I remember him from Shane, Hud, and In Harm's Way. He is one of the few child actors who got past his childhood roles, and went on acting well into his adult years.
Check him out in THE MEMBER OF THE WEDDING; he shares the screen with Julie Harris and Ethel Waters and nearly steals the film.
@cunard61. I think Brandon became a better actor as an adult.
I remember him in Blue Denim, a film of a play the original intent of which was completely reversed.
He was in a film called Blue Denim.
So you missed the 1959 "Blue denim" a B&W film with Carol Lynley... Good movie, and so was "Night passage" with James Stewart, a western of 1957 where Brandon played an important part.
A real unsung Hollywood star. So tragic he was taken so young. Thank you.
And then only to have some jackass fabricate a Gay life story that never even existed!!
I put him in the Unsung position as Montgomery Cliff..similar eras great but in my view underappreciated.
I love the Age Of Vintage videos! Could I make a suggestion? It would be much easier to follow this narrative if the shots were presented in chronolodical order to correspond to the sequence of the actor's life. He is 7 years old one moment and 25 years old the next.
I agree. Several other biography videos ( A&E was bad for that) do this as well and it drives me crazy. Or using stock photos over and over again throughout the vid. I would love to assist in editing a few. I love your suggestion. Think they'll take it?
@@jeffguenette6354 Hi, Jeff! It would be a big project for you but I'm sure a very interesting one. Why not send him a message and see what happens. He might really like to have someone to work with. Couldn't hurt!!
@@RobertScott66208 Hmm. Well, ya never know. I'll keep you posted. Thanks Robert.
i hear you but to be fair Brandon's most memorable work came when he was 7 ot 8 - Shane and Member of the Wedding, then later in his twenties - Hud and All Fall Down. i'm not sure what he did inbetween.
I agree Robert and admire your tone. This channel is fantastic, but a few alterations would make the videos really special. The respect and good intentions of your message to the creator is brilliant and it's saddening to see some of the coarser criticism that isn't helpful. After all, we enjoy the channel and want to see it reach higher ground not dishearten the creator and put him off producing this fascinating content.
All the best!
This is so ridiculous. My father knew Brandon and was a friend of his agent in the late 50's into the mid 60's. Brandon was not gay or bi, he was 100% straight. To suggest otherwise is totally absurd. The fact the narrator doesn't even know how to pronounce Brandon's name speaks volumes. The correct pronunciation of his last name is "Duh Will-Duh." There are also multiple other ridiculous errors, such as Brandon being the "star" of The Member of the Wedding. In fact he had a small role, Julie Harris was the star. It's also utterly absurd to suggest Brandon's character in Hud was gay! Lonny was completely straight, as anyone who read McMurtry's novel or saw the film already knows.
I believe Brandon was 100% straight! A very gifted actor and I had the pleasure of meeting with in 1962,
His birthday is 7 days before me! April 9, 1942 and me, April 2 1942
Thanks for your clarifying info on an actor whose bright career ended tragically early.
The "narrator" is actually an AI generated voice.
@@eblackadder3 thanks (stupid me!)
Brandon was so handsome
The correct pronunciation is DUH WILDUH!!!!! It GRATES to hear it continuously mispronounced here!
B: that's right honey, sexy boy! Ruff Ruff
@terry
Take a cold shower.
@@johna.4334 Mind your own business, JOAN!
Brandon's last name is pronounced "Deewillda" due to his Dutch heritage. 😉
Duhvilda
Which is it, killed in an accident while driving a van or was it a motorcycle? You switched modes of transportation in mid-sentence at the end of the video.
It was a motorcycle. Crashed into a van. Devastating injuries.
He was driving a van
I sort of guessed that he had the motorcycle in the van and that it ended up on top of him after the crash. VW buses tended to get torn to pieces in anything bigger than a fender-bender, so anything could have ended up anywhere.
Homosexual ? Where did you get that shit from? You wish
@@johnfox9169 I remember the picture in the paper, looked similar to a Chinook camper Van, he hit what looked like a center guard rail
Brandon DeWilde was a beautiful person. I remember when he played on Shane and a episode of Wagon Train. He was taken away from us too soon! He was a favorite a actor. He is missed very much! A fan Lee Crolley, lll.
Yes, Lee.
He was a talented and goodhearted fellow; a fine actor too, dying way too young.
All human males are implanted by Nature with such dual-love capacity.
No other fact could be more self-proving as it has over the eons, as it.
The pathetic deniers work overtime to deep-six their own despised (as-taught and learned) reality, and egads do they suffer unbeknownst and, in some cases as-knowing, that being even worse as "closet" style, and thus the energy expended at keeping 'the secret' close.
Abidingly tragic, isn't it?
We do it to ourselves by humoring/abiding the three monotheist SYSTEMS of belief, and systems they surely are!
@leecrowley2101. I don’t know how many people know this, but Brandon was in an episode of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” in 1960, where he played a developly disabled teenager who hangs around a carnival. It was never aired because the network found it too disturbing. I’m sure it probably can be found on DVD or the internet.
I liked all his movies,I lived on 9thDrive, on Kipling St. Lakewood Colorado, when he had that roll over,then went to St. Anthony s Hospital, where he later passed away, much too young, good Actor.R.I.P.❤️
Maybe he was after Paul Newman's recipe for salad dressing.
Now that's funny😅
Another closely guarded secret...
You say that deWilde was driving his camper van on the day ofvhis accident, but then you say he was "pinned under the wreckage of his motorcycle." So, was he driving his camper van or his motorcycle when he was killed? Also, where did you get such personal, salacious information about his sexual habits and preferences. These things cause me to be suspicious of your claims.
They do mess these up a lot.easier to look him up on internet.
Exactly, he was married twice and the last time was not long before the accident, and he had a child with his 1st wife. He had the accident in his smaller van motorhome, he hit the center divider and sitting so close to the front of the van near Denver in Lakewood and, he was killed. He was there working a Denver stage production of butterfly's are free. He was working on a music career with his friend Gram Parsons This post on him is ridiculous mess
motorcycle was in the back.
@@ixlr8677 it looked like a bubble top camper van
That how it works when you're making it up as you go along, and you don't care enough about the subjects, or the truth, to keep your story straight, or to find out how to pronounce a subject's name.
His last name is actually pronounced "De Will-da" not "Wild."
The narrator is British so I’ve noticed he has a great speaking voice he mispronounces many names and places.
Every time he mispronounces the name, I grit my teeth!
Thank you for posting this!!! Saved me from doing it!
@@GeneRogers-xl9um British or not, you can still learn hoiw to pronounce a pewrsons name correctly.
@@mikeytrahant943 of course! But, I think he might be older and I definitely hear his British accent which I didn’t mean as negative. He just quite often says with a British accent and might be a little off. I have been all over the world and have no problems with different accents. But, although he doesn’t always correctly pronounce names correctly I understand him perfectly. I’ve lived in China 20 years and I speak Chinese, Spanish and French. I’m sure to many even my friends I have an accent
He should have won an Oscar for Shane.
Sinatra won the supporting Oscar that year for the role of Maggio in "From Here to Eternity"

@terry
What the...???!!!
I can't get past the word "feelingfully" - did I really hear that?
This is what's called "too much information".
I believe I cannot be the only one who has trouble following your stories. Why can’t you just do them in chronological order, instead of skipping around. Your introduction, and interweaving of other people and roles DeWilde played are already confusing enough.
Add to that the skipping and pictures not relating to the characters he is talking about...dragging it out to take more time. Waste of time!
Exactly.... he could have done this whole thing in 10 minutes instead of 18 minutes.
And not a single picture from “Member of the Wedding,” even though there was lots of discussion of the play and film. 🤷🏻♂️
Whinge, whinge, moany, moany, whinge, whinge. Have you ever thought of trying to do better?
This guy is total BS.
I found a sleazy Gay website where he stole this entire text from and even the website said the source was highly unreliable!
I have serious doubts about the veracity of the information in this piece. If the writer doesn't bother to check minor details, like the discrepancy in the story of the accident that took DeWilde's life, and in fact the careless mispronunciation of his name, causes me to question how much of this is really true.
Agree 100%
I'm 68 but I read the article about his death. I remember reading he was driving a van . Can some one straighten this out please . Try to get the Facts right ✅.
Exactly
Sure you were there
@@brendagirard3890 - I read in several places that the fatal moment of his car accident he was driving to act in the play of "Butterflies are free"....In other sites, like here, they say he was going to visit his wife at the hospital... I even read that his son Jesse had died at an early age and that drove him to the abuse of drugs and alcohol. For all I know, Jesse is alive and doing fine up to this day.
Just for the record, the narrator is pronouncing his last name incorrectly: it is three syllables -
de-Will-duh .
Brandon DeWilde gay
What country dost thou hail from? America here ('MERICA! 🇺🇲) and two syllables duh-WILD sounds might fine to me.
I knew Brandon in summer camp in Maine. He pronounced his name in three syllables. We were both in Cabin 6. In age we were all proto-sexual, hormones still on low heat.. One day a bunch of us signed up to go off-campus to the movies. It was the summer that three different movies set in ancient Egypt came out. As we were were exiting the movie and I was all enthused about how the movie crew must have have had a hard time getting all their cameras and everything inside of the temples and pyramids, Brandon explained that it was all movie sets.
Another talent gone so young. I'm glad he enjoyed the time he had here. We should all live joyfully, each day is precious🌈🐦
I’m not quite sure what that means either, unless you’re referring to the old English idiom that’s most popular usually among young people. “ Eat, Drink and be Merry for tomorrow we die.” Although it also has a biblical connotation to it, with two opposing meanings. 1. “ Life is short, so you should enjoy it while you can, and not concern yourself with trivial’s and what you have no control over.” or
2. Do not say as the epicurean, who bestows the wisdom of a fool, and complains against the admonishments of God, preferring to indulge his pleasures of the senses, proclaiming,
Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.
@@garywilson7992 As an Elizabethan poet once wrote "Gather ye rosebuds while you may"
That was fascinating. I vaguely knew his name - but nothing more about him. I'm now going to look at some of those films with renewed interest and a great deal more knowledge. Many thanks - much appreciated.
'Hud' is superb in every way.
Unfortunately its TOTAL BULLSHIT.
I can only say that Brandon was merely human ; Paul’s hypnotic blue eyes must have been quite a distraction.That’s Hollywood !
It is believed that Paul Newman and James Dean had hooked up.
@@GlennYoung0427 Note that the narrator here did not address Newman's reaction when de Wilde supposedly tried to seduce him.
Yuck
As I recall Hud, there was nothing in DeWilde's performance to suggest that, "He was falling in love with his uncle," played by Paul Newman.
Seemed more like typical male teenage hero worship to me.
Paul Newman Was A Gorgeous Man😍& Thanks A.O.V.🌹❤️
I first saw DeWilde in "The Member of the Wedding," opposite Julie Harris, and what performances by both DeWilde and Harris!
One of my favorite movies.
Brandon was straight. Died in a traffic accident on his way to see his wife.
As an earlier comment stated it would be nice to have the pictures match the narrative. Also the title of this video says how Brandon de Wilde tried to seduce Paul Newman. How could you know of that and his other exploits that seem very private where no one else would know that info.
So true...We humans are so fast when it comes to criticize others or spread rumors about someone just because we don't like him/her...! But let's remember: "what goes around, then comes around".
I'd like to know where you got your information about his personal life. Also, you might have learned to pronounce his name properly. It is Brandon De Wil-duh.
thanks for the video, made me order a copy of "Hud".
Interesting. Thanks. Some suggestions: avoid repetition, match the pictures with the narration, keep it strictly chronological, and draw on a much wider range of pics. Plenty from Hud, but, unless I am mistaken, none from Member of the Wedding or Shane, or In Harm's Way.
He plagiarized various articles in their entireties which is why he is all over the place in his timeline and always repetitious 😡
@@withgoddess8029 Aha. But why???
@@pauljbaker587 Character assassination?
Why is there a question mark in your subject title? It's a declarative sentence, not a question. If you want it to be a question, you would have to say, "How DID Brandon de Wilde TRY to Seduce Paul Newman?", or "Why DID Brandon de Wilde TRY to Seduce Paul Newman?", or just "DID Brandon de Wilde TRY to Seduce Paul Newman?".
There have been stories floating around Hollywood for decades about both Paul and his wife. Just like Will Smith and his wife.
Where there's smoke, there's always fire...as old as the hills...
Until proven true, that's ALL they are; just stories.
Mostly smoke, and if it were not for the rumor-mongers, would die out.
Wrong! Why besmirch the name of a great humanitarian such as Paul Newman by comparing then to sordid trashy people like the pond scum that are Will Smith and his "husband"
brando outed newman just prior to brando's passing.
He was good in TV show, Night Gallery,Class of 1999,it doesn't matter if he was gay not,the body of work,he left will live on forever .
Yes that year got in serious car accident. In Aprial 1972 by the time Class of 1999 was shown as repeat two months ltr BRANDON was killed. At time no one knew.

With longer hair he has a resemblance with Jim Morrison from the Doors.
Wow he had his own phone and record player!
It was a treasure for a kid in the early '60s...!
Hello, you make the story LONG
Perhaps because his life was too short?
I began to think that hearing fingernails across a blackboard would be more stimulating.
Thank you for your constant uploading of fascinating topics. I know there's some guidance on altering the narrative structure and picture alignment, but I hope you don't see that as a knock - rather well-meaning guidance from people who admire your subjects and your work.
I personally heavily enjoy your videos on Golden Age Hollywood Divas and especially on actors who had same-sex relationships/trysts as this is a fascinating topic that needs more public admiration. When these videos are uploaded I go for them instantly and am grateful for your efforts.
Please keep up the sterling work and take the guidance from viewers as a sign of investment in your tales and not harsh criticism. We're all behind you, my friend!
As long as you perceive it be fiction I agree. I wouldn't trust anything Darwin Porter has to say.
you couldn't find ONE pic of Brandon and Ethel Waters among these repetitive images? You used every image you could find with everyone but Ethel.
Walter Pantera
What about Lassie?
Where could you possibly have gotten the info about de Wilde's daily sex activities? Or about the Newman anecdote?
@Greg. It’s easy when you’re making things up.
From ONE SOURCE, a sleazy Gay website with fake nudes of Branden and even the website had a disclaimer saying this was very unlikely.
Either this guy stole it verbatim or he writes for that Gay website too.
@@DH-ve5bl Ha Ha Ha Do you think this guy REALLY makes up these stories? That's a disgrace to this beloved kid star. Thanks for your comment.
Saying he had sex daily with one, two, or three male or female partners is irresponsible. There is zero evidence to support such a claim. He has a son and probably grandkids at this point. Do you think this is something they want to hear? Stop being gossipy,
@@jm7804 This fits into the ''anything for a buck'' category. Wonder whether the family has considered suing him for slander?
The pictures shown during narration are all over the map. Rarely any photos shown from his childhood roles. Surely there are many that could have been added. I’m glad to see this video but would rather see pictures following the narrative.
His last name is pronounced “dee-WILL-duh,” with three syllables - not dee-WILD, with two syllables.
Never read or heard anything about any bi-sexuality on Brandon's part. Not that there's anything wrong with such activity, but we know that probably 90% of actors/actresses have been rumored at one time or another to have had such an orientation. Some of it is certainly true and could be documented one way or another, the rest of it is just gossip or pure invention. The truth is often quite boring and less racy. Brandon was certainly a smashingly good-looking young man, and one can certainly imagine him having been propositioned by both sexes, but I don't think there's any way anyone can know whether or not or how he may have dealt with such propositions unless letters or other evidence could be found...what's more important is that he was an enormously talented actor, both as a child and an adult, and his untimely death was a great tragedy and a great loss to so many, as well as to theatre and film.
He was so good in HUD! I saw him in that film when I was 7.
This just isn't for me, let's be creative and get with a topic that millions like myself find uno Numero women
Well said Ms James vaugham!
I've found out in life, several people or friends that were gay that I had no idea about. Doesn't change my opinion of them at all. Sadly, there today is a contingent of this group that want hetero people to not only accept their behavior but prove it by accepting depraved behavior in public. I feel sorry for the normal gay people.
@@yallainrite3658 How condescending can you be! The "normal" gay person is doing just fine, thank you.
If he was driving a camper van when he crashed, why did you say he was pinned under a motorcycle ?
Yes, I heard that comment too. Just another contradictory remark that pervades too many “documentaries” offering personal insights into others lives!
@@BRABAZON49 It's probably some Serbian guy using Speechelo to get a Brit accent on the narration !
@@cruzcontrol1504 BINGO!! And the Speechelo software here is faulty. The accent vacillates between a refined Australian accent and an RP British accent.
"Elegant of clean ,modern youth..." messed up grammar
He was driving his camper van but was pinned beneath his motorcycle???? How did he manage that? Too many mixed facts here and way too many mispronunciations of names.
If I heard you correctly you referenced Brandon being connected with Butterflies Are Free. It was Edward Albert who starred in the 1972 Film.
the stage version
He was in the play
Have to wonder about this guy talking...he says de Wilde was driving a camper van and crashes...then he says he is riding a motorcycle. Which is it??? Maybe the cycle was in the van???
Bardon De Wilde was driving a camper truck and not wearing his seatbelt. That is the fact! There was no motorcycle involved at all!
Very interesting, I remember seeing him in a movie or two years ago.
As the song goes, cowboys are frequently, secretly fond of each other.
Check out The Sorcerer's Apprentice on the original Alfred Hitchcock. So disturbing, that it was banned for years.
thought he was great in Sorcerer's Apprentice. glad he got to branch out a bit before he passed.
How sad and dying so young ! 😥
He grew up to be a handsome young man also. I remember him as the awkward kid in the movie "Shane".
Besides "Shane" I saw him in the '57 film "Night passage" with James Stewart, then in the '59 movie "Blue denim" with Carol Lynley, later in '63 in "Hud", and finally in '64 "In harm's way" with John Wayne.
Brandon had a role in the Beatles story. He joined their flight from New York to the Bahamas where they were to shoot Help! and hung around with them while they were there. He came with a large stash of marijuana which was much appreciated by the newly pot-crazy Beatles.
I never heard that.
Well if there was marijuana involved who knows he may well have blown at least one of The Beatles if not them all
@@lindajohnson4204 - There we go again...! Any verifiable source of this drug-related story ?
@@lindaatkinson3962 Any verifiable source for "I never heard that"? I don't think so. Only my testimony. And it's been so long, I'm not completely sure that I never heard about it. I may have.

The marijuana and his penis,. The Beatles much appreciated it!!!
You are saying Brandon's last name incorrectly, it's De wild a.
According to some sensationalists, EVERYBODY is/was gay!
How believable are they?
Today it's Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
Yeah, it's getting tiresome ! 🥱
It was known that he was gay I mean you may didn't know it when he played that little boy and Shane but after that you could just look at him and no matter how masculine they tried to act he never pulled it off!!!
Well Eleanor, at least he gave it a good try! 👍
To myself, he seemed a naturally-endearing person.🌼
Brandon's gramma lived in Norfolk and I just missed meeting him on three occasions
That's interesting. I grew up near Norfolk.
Very watchable lad. I loved his role as Lon in HUD, 1962.
Random asked Cleveland Paul “Can I see your joystick?”
I would like to know,where this new information came from ?He was driving a camper van, alone and not wearing a seatbelt, that left the roadway before striking a guardrail and a parked truck. The van rolled onto its side and pinned him in the wreckage. He was taken to St. Anthony Hospital, where he died at 7:20 p.m. of multiple injuries
No excuse for such a single-car accident...he was likely high on something.
@@curbozerboomer1773 maybe tired, his wife was in the hospital and he was on his way to see her
I don't think they had seat belts back then either
@@629lrogers they had lap belts, but vans didn't give you much protection
@@califdad4 - That was the cause of his rush...his wife was in a hospital and had given birth to a boy.
As kids of that time, we pronounced it " "duh-Will-duh". Anyone else?
You need to fact check. Here are two corrections ( there are many more) he was driving a camper van when he veered off the road and you mispronounce his last name.
His name is pronounced D-will-da, not da wild.
I really enjoy your videos, but Brandon's last name was pronounced de will da it has Dutch origins.
His name being Americanized sounds much better.
That's the way I remember it.

De Wildeh not wild
His name was actually Andre Brandon deWilde
Preminjer
So many young people die in road accidents due to drug or alcohol use.
I’ve never heard of him.
Well now you have!
he co-starred with Paul Newman and Warren Beatty. pretty impressive company for a relative new-comer.
@Rb Smith Please watch Shane.
@@haintedhouse2990 He wasn't a newcomer, he was a star as a child before anyone had heard of Newman or Beatty.
@@terrya8989 Beatty was the real newcomer. He didn't make his first movie til 1961- a decade or so after de Wilde's first movie.
PLEASE PRONOUNCE His Name Properly… It’s Brandon DE WILL DA not DE WILD I actually saw him in person when Shane opened In Phila. (at the Mastbaum Theatre) but keep the Videos coming as they’re informative and always entertaining
That's correct!!
Great photos of Brandon with Carol Lindsey in Blue Denim. My first movie crush.
Lindley.
Saw Blue Denim as a teen. Great movie and also ground breaking. Both Brandon and Carol did a great job. Had a teen crush on Lynley for a while. Beautiful lady.
@@damonhowze2793 - Last name was Lynley.
He died while driving his camper van when he struck a guard rail and veered off and hit a construction vehicle while avoiding another driver and was pinned under his motorcycle and died 4 hours later..... huh?
It amazes and amuses me how much homosexuality existed in Hollywood then; and, is now even more open. I vaguely remember Brandon de Wilde. He might well have been a heart throb, although I likely did not fully understand those particular thrills coursing through my youthful body. He was quite adorable. What a sad end to a young and promising life.
This sounds preposterous.
Is that a photo a pic of him & Patty Duke at the Oscar's?
that's her and Brandon's holding Melvyn Douglas's Oscar for Hud.
He was in a good film called Blue Denim.
Pronounced De Will da.
I think Brandon's surname is pronounced dee-WILL-duh. But I could be wrong. So please ignore me.
You are correct.
That new documentary about Paul .& his wife probably doesn't mention his bisexuality ....his fascination with Men ....
I was born the same year as Brandon. When I saw Shane it was one of the big moments in my young, impressionable life. Already aware I was gay, I was in love with both Brandon and Alan Ladd.

God He Was Stunning! Any Information On Nick Adams?
Which one? The Hollywood actor? Or the Broadway one?
The Hollywood one hitch-hiked to Hollywood, most of the way with a kind gentleman who shared his motel rooms with Nicholas Aloysius Adamshock during the trip. (Ahem!)
The Broadway one is openly gay.
When you are the total "knockout" as Paul Newman was, I am sure he had to "fight off" both women and even some men.
Almost everyone knows about James Dean obvious fascination for Paul. Just turn on the u tube interview between the two.
I just read a book that talks about Paul Newman's fascination with Marlon Brando and the obvious affair they had.
Brandon was just a "passing ship in the night" for Paul and I sense Paul's marriage would dictate his willingness or unwillingness to go with it.
Brandon, God bless you for your wonderful movies. You made more movies than James Dean and your death really is sad!
From what I have read Paul wasn't as innocent in his younger days as many would think
This guy talking is from England he pronounces a lot of our names of cities and people's name wrong.
Listen who’s talking. We all do. Cheers from Australia.
it is AI.
A point of interest is: A few years ago I watched a video on Brandon de Wilde that claimed that his name is pronounced duh WILL duh. I looked it up on Google and it pronounced it just like this video does, but I thought it relevant to bring it up anyway.
was he in a van or a motorcycle? i must be misunderstanding something. also, did brandon seduce paul?
I always had a huge crush on Brandon,when i first saw him in hud...WOOF!!
LOL. De Wild -uh.
Unsubstantiated bologna
De Will Duh, lost his way in the late 60's wanting to be a singer and getting involved with the counterculture. He seemed to be back in the game again however until that awful accident. Who knows what lay ahead for this excellent actor.
Never heard of him - Brandon
Alan Ladd probably had to wear platform shoes to look him in the eye. LOL. They were both great actors.
Jack Palance who was the villain in Shane was 6'4" & probably a foot taller than Ladd but he was a great actor
@@gerryconstant4914 He was a standup person in real life also. That's what matters to me.
I read once that if the opposite actor was taller than Ladd they would dig a hole and make the taller actor stand in it.:)
@@lynngraham2934 or get a box for Ladd to stand on.
Brandon wasn't really tall...something like 5'10''....
Don't think I ever heard of him
His last name is pronounced da wilda.✨✨

The last name was pronounced "de-WILLED-uh"
