While checking out an old movie my children enjoyed it was called 'Water Babies'. It starred boy actor Jack Wild (he was also in 'Oliver'). My husband said "didn't he go off the rails and drink himself to death?' It sparked my interest so I checked up about him. Well seems he was introduced into the 'high life' in Hollywood at the age of 14/15 I think while filming Pufnstuff (odd name right there!) Quote: from dailymail below I was invited out to expensive restaurants and wild parties where the tables would be laden with bowls of drugs – you could take your pick of uppers or downers. Instead of Twiglets, crisps and peanuts, one ashtray was full of speed, another of cocaine, marijuana, LSD, everything. Shame I wonder if he had been abused during these, knowing what we know now about Hollywood and children, and drinking was his way to cope! These PIGS in the upper echelons have a lot to answer for, and we are geting tired of waiting..........hope its soon! - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4020774/Oliver-star-Jack-Wild-s-haunting-memoirs-released-posthumously.html @carmencita @Cc1944 @think-
