Really?? Loved that actor. I mean he was as cute as Paul was!!!
And I liked that his last name was pronounced ... DeWilda. Most everyone thought the "e" at the end was silent, but it wasn't for him, unlike the actor Cornell Wilde. -
I think he co-starred in "Hud" with Paul Newman? He was effective in that. A sensitive expressive sort. And was killed in a car accident? And somehow got to hang out with the Beatles.
