Teddy Wilson in 'Brother, Can You Spare That Jacket?'


I think he tells Rose he is 54 (or 50 something?), but in reality the actor was about 43. He did look to be in his 50's, though. There may have been a good reason for that because he died a few years later in 1991, supposedly of AIDS.

He was great in the role and was probably HIV+ at the time.
