Thread Name: Obit: Actor Jack Wilde/ HR Pufnstuf (March 2006)
Subject: Obit: Jack Wild aka The Artful Dodger
Jack Wild died last night after a longish fight with cancer of the mouth. He was just 53 years old.
Best remembered as The Artful Dodger in the film of Lionel Bart's 'Oliver', he appears to have become a heavy smoker after the parts dried up. Eventually lost his tongue and voice box to cancer!
Rest in peace.
