Greetings Franchot Fans!

Happy news to share: Cornel Wilde Jr.'s wife gave birth to a baby
boy on Franchot's 100th birthday, this past Sunday, February 27th. :)

Cornel Jr. is the son of Jean Wallace and Cornel Wilde, who were
married from 1951-1981, after Jean's divorce from Franchot. Despite
a few legal battles over custody issues surrounding Franchot and
Jean's two sons, Franchot got along well with The Wildes, and
generally enjoyed a good co-parenting experience. Their children
(adults now, of course) remain close today. The circle of life
continues in wonderful, amazing ways, doesn't it? :)
