Lyn holds that her mother, on the other hand, was nothing short of angelic. According to Lyn, a boy was always preferred, and “the mother was usually to blame in the olden days.” As a result, their father did not speak to their mother for weeks after they were born.
The twins expanded the Wilde family, which already had two daughters and a son-Helen, Jenny, and Oscar “Ockie” Wilde.
Lee, named Marion Lee Wilde, was born on October 9 th, 1922, while Lyn, named Mary Lyn Wilde, followed on October 10 th, 1922. The Wilde twins were born one day apart from each other. Race riots at the nearby stockyards on hot summer nights did not make for sweet dreams, after all. Louis, Illinois, which author John Gunther labels as “the most backward city in the United States,” Lyn and Lee would busy themselves with making exciting “secret plans” between themselves. During this past year, I was lucky enough to visit Lyn Wilde Oberlink as well as with her son, James Carter Cathcart in order to discuss the careers of the Wilde twins.įirst and foremost, Lyn believes in the power of making plans and pursuing them, regardless of what other people say. Upon researching their careers, I learned that both Lyn and Lee were alive at the age of 92 at the time, with Lee residing in California, and Lyn in Indiana. The two played identical twins with a panache for performance, while poor Andy Hardy was unaware of the fact that he was attempting to woo two separate women.
While watching Andy Hardy’s Blonde Trouble (1944) last year, I became curious about Mickey Rooney’s supporting cast members, Lyn and Lee Wilde. However, their time in the industry and beyond is fascinating. As a result, they left the moviemaking business for what they felt were more exciting endeavors. Since their careers in the entertainment industry were curbed by limited plot lines from studios, as well as advances in split-screen technology, an effort to dedicate their time to family life would later become all the more appealing instead.
