Veteran actor Jay North, who portrayed the title character in the 1960s comedy “Dennis the Menace,” has away. TMZ has verified.
North’s longtime friend Laurie Jacobson, who is married to “Lassie” star Jon Provost, says TMZ… After battling colorectal cancer, Jay died away on Sunday at his Lake Butler, Florida, home.
His health reportedly began to decline over the last month, and when he died away, his wife Cindy and her kids from a previous marriage—whom we are told he “adored”—were there to be with him.
“Gave him a family he never had” since he was an only kid and never met his father, Laurie recalls of Cindy and her girls.
According to the story, Jay had not seen his pals in a while since he had to isolate himself to maintain his health because of his sickness.
