Sad to hear of Jack Wild's death aged 53. 18 Years, 1 Month ago  
I'll always treasure his "Dodger" performance in OLIVER.

He was a bright young star.
He made some mistakes in life.
Recognised them.
Paid a high price for them.
Died prematurely because of them,
But he left us some precious memories.

RIP Jack.

I met him a few times when he was doing his US TV series HR Puffenstuff 18 Years, 1 Month ago  
Anyone remember that?
Always sad to see someone die so (relatively) young.

Yes, H R Pufnstuf was real groovy. 18 Years, 1 Month ago  
Jack had a talking flute. I was introduced to it on Saturday mornings when I was staying with an Aunt many many years ago. Not so long ago I bought the video. The entire series is now on DVD so I think that's on my shopping list.

I think Jack also hosted Junior Showtime, but I wasn't a regular viewer so can't be sure.

A cautionary tale; drink, drugs, nicotine... 18 Years, 1 Month ago  
be careful what you do.
Anything in moderation... as long as you're in charge, you know what you're doing and you don't hurt anyone else.

I don't like musicals except RHPS and Blues Brothers but this dude had talent and wasted it. It is shame that he died fairly young<br><br>Post edited by: JK2006, at: 2006/03/02 18:44
