My Take
Wilding embodies the polish of Hollywood's golden age. His marriage to Elizabeth Taylor, and the sons they shared, place him at the glamorous center of mid-century celebrity. I also like that he reinvented himself as a talent agent rather than clinging to the screen. There is something admirably graceful about a leading man who knew how to age out of leading roles with style intact.
