"Tulsa" from Gypsy and Bud's best friend in Father Knows Best.

He was hot, was in a hit film, but then seemed to vanish. Very little info on him.

"Born May 26, 1938 in Los Angeles, birth name Paul Norton Willens. "Jun 1952: Name listed as PAUL NORTON WILLENS; Mar 1958: Name listed as PAUL WALLACE". Date of death is given as November 30, 2001."

Alleged cause of death was complications HIV/AIDS.

IMDb at least won't update or give date of death without some sort of official proof like death certificate.

From his prime!

Not a hugely popular movie, by the way.

His dancing was amazing in that one scene in Gypsy. Glad someone else noticed, OP.

I used to have dirty thoughts about him and Bud Anderson together.

Seems sad that while not a huge star, someone like Paul Wallace who had and still has a decent enough following literally is just forgotten professionally. No Wiki page, updated IMDb, not even a Find a Grave listing. Cannot even find a death notice or obituary. Tragic...

You'd think friends or anyone else remotely interested would bother tying up lose ends.

No one is asking for intimate details about cause of death, but at least let world know the man is gone, and what happened to his remains.

It is odd none of bios on Paul Wallace list his parents or other family information. So cannot even start searching from that angle either.

Another sibling (possible) - Bill Willens of West Hills, CA.

Note Radaris link mentions a "Paul Wallace" as sibling of Bill Willens. Ann Willens was the mother.

That doesn't really look like him.
