Wilde appeared in an episode of General Electric Theatre in 1961. The film career of
multilingual Cornel Wilde (1912-1989) took off when he earned a Best Actor Oscar
nomination for his role as Chopin in A Song to Remember (1945). Other big roles
followed in pictures such as Forever Amber (1947) and The Greatest Show on Earth (1952).
Wilde, who produced many of his own films, often starred in historical epics (Constantine
and the Cross, 1962). His last starring role was in The Norseman (1978). Interestingly, Wilde
gave up a spot on the 1936 U.S. Olympic fencing team to pursue an acting career. In fact,
he served as a fencing instructor for the Broadway version of Olivier's Hamlet (1940).
