We haven’t discussed Brandon deWilde in a while

Is he a porn star?

R1, no, he was a legitimate film actor in movies like Shane and Hud.

I had no idea his name was pronounced de-Will-duh until watching the Angela Lansbury/Robert Osborne interview from the AL thread.

Who had the hots for him again?

Paul Newman and... Elvis, was it?

R4, all the gays did.

It's too bad that he's pretty much forgotten as a child actor. He was probably one of the best. He was also good in Member of the Wedding.

I watched Goodbye, My Lady last year on The Criterion Channel and it almost made me cry (MARY!) 😪

I thought you meant the white trash formerly gay porn "star" Brandon Wilde? He thinks he is Pansexual now cause a tranny fucked him in a movie...That doesn't make you more butch Brandon nor more evolved...

R7: You are, of course, just trolling.

He was a very good actor (he was great in "Hud") and died too soon.

This is off-topic but he reminded me of the huge crush I had on the kid from Rifleman. Remember him?

It’s too bad he didn’t have any nude scenes.

He's dead, Jim.

He was a very talented young actor -- apparently straight, as he had a son from his first marriage, which lasted several years, and then he married again a few months before his death in an auto accident.
