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)[reply]

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.
