He was allegedly physically and sexually abused by his aunt and uncle, coloring his life very negatively and warping his attempts at normal relationships with his own family.

I knew "Dennis the Menace" from the funnies before the TV show started (I remember reading about how someone had been chosen to play the part of Dennis). Only saw the TV show a few times at most--the Mr. Wilson character didn't seem at all like the grouchy neighbor in the comic strip.

The problem with child actors is that after a few years they are too old to play the part. I knew nothing about Jay North's personal life.

The other Dennis the Menace, the one-time Presidential candidate, is alive and well as far as I know.

I sometimes catch the show in the morning. After not having watched it in decades, I was surprised at how well it has stood up, but it had solid writing and a great cast, and Jay North was perfect as Dennis. It’s a shame that much of his life was not happy.

RIP.

Side Note:
As an adult, Jay North looked a lot like somebody else very famous: John Ellis Bush aka ‘Jeb’.

I knew Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell). He joined LAPD and got shot two different times. He retired and passed away not too long ago.

I always remember him and the bossy little girl, Margaret, getting into fights.

We have seen an explosion of cancer since the death jab was rolled out... roughly 40% increase... I lost a friend that I served with to Colon cancer... about a year after the jab was rolled out... he was 50... and dead within 6 weeks of being diagnosed... unless these obituary’s come with a vax status... I assume he is dead because the Government poisoned him with the COVID vaccine... It killed my step mom 3 weeks after her second shot... it is genocide... and we better damn well get Trump to get right with God on this. Any suicidal agents or big pharma trolls, you can stay silent.

I have a Dennis the Menace stuffed toy packed away somewhere. Jay had 8 years on me, my parents gave it to me. I suppose because my name is Dennis.

HELLO MR. WILSON!

So sad. He was part of my childhood. The all-American blond boy like I was in the late fifties and early sixties. I guess now that is politically incorrect, racist, and un-woke. May he rest in peace in the company of the saints in light and may light perpetual shine upon him.

This kid never had the chance to throw off the ‘Dennis’ typecast, right? Sad for him.

And so, one of my lifelong ambitions will go unfulfilled. Ever since I was a child, I've wanted to strangle Jay North. Do you know how many times I've been called “Dennis the Menace” in my life? Grrr.
