Cornel Wilde Autographs
Cornelius Louis Wilde (born Kornél Lajos Weisz; October 13, 1912 – October 16, 1989) was a Hungarian-American actor and filmmaker. His acting career began on Broadway in 1935, followed by small, uncredited appearances in films. By the 1940s he had signed a contract with 20th Century Fox, and by the middle of the decade he was a major leading man. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in 1945's A Song to Remember.
In the 1950s he moved to writing, producing and directing films, and still continued his career as an actor. His notable directorial efforts included The Naked Prey (1965), Beach Red (1967), and No Blade of Grass (1970). He also went into songwriting during his career.
Wilde was born in 1912 in Privigye, Kingdom of Hungary (now Prievidza, Slovakia), although his year and place of birth are usually and inaccurately given as 1915 in New York City. Wilde's Hungarian Jewish parents were Vojtech Béla Weisz (anglicized to Louis Bela Wilde) and Renée Mary Vid (Rayna Miryam), and he was named Kornél Lajos after his paternal grandfather. The family emigrated to the United States via first class passage aboard a Dutch steamer in 1920, when Kornél was seven years old. His name was anglicized (as was commonly done at the time in the United States) to Cornelius Louis Wilde.
