[edit] Spelling?

Is the name spelled Brandon De Wilde or Brandon de Wilde? There seems to plenty of contradiction in the sources I have consulted. Does anybody know the correct capitalization? --Sophitus 06:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

According to his Brandon deWilde's headstone it's deWilde.

Typographical positioning (or kerning) of letters on a tombstone, which is a matter of design, is not an accurate way of determining the spelling of a last name. According to the New York Times obit and every other source I have encountered, including main title sequences in the actor's films, his name is Brandon de Wilde.

 They forgot to mention how he was Joey in Shane and was nominated for an Oscar for that role.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.189.213 (talk) 16:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
