The Artful Dodger Couldn't Dodge Cancer

I was sad to learn about singer/actor Jack Wild passing away from cancer last week.  He played the Artful Dodger in the 1968 movie called "Oliver!" that won the Best Picture Oscar.  I grew up watching the movie.  I even watched the TV show "H. R. Pufnstuf" when I was a little kid back in the 1970s.

Back in January of this year, I was watching "Oliver!" on DVD (courtesy of Netflix).  I really enjoyed watching that movie again.

Consider yourself at home in Heaven, Jack!
