Veteran actor Jay North, who portrayed the title character in the 1960s sitcom “Dennis the Menace,” passed away. TMZ has verified.
North’s longtime friend Laurie Jacobson, who is married to “Lassie” actor Jon Provost, says TMZ… After battling colorectal cancer, Jay passed away on Sunday at his Lake Butler, Florida, home.
His health reportedly began to decline over the past month, and when he passed away, his wife Cindy and her daughters from a previous marriage—whom we are told he “adored”—were there to be with him.
“Gave him a family he never had” because he was an only kid and never met his father, Laurie recalls of Cindy and her daughters.
