Aw, damn. I grew up watching him on TV. I grew up some more watching him in Melody. Hearing how he died makes me feel old. Rest well, Jack...

Oh my -- to realize he was 53 y.o. I still have an image of him as the Artful Dodger -- never aged. I wonder what has become of Mark Lester (Oliver). He left film acting in 1977.

"Please sir, I want some more."

I recently watched last year's "Oliver Twist" (directed by Roman Polanski) -- and enjoyed it, but will always hold the musical film version of 1968 to be the most enduring.
