RON MOODY (MOST FAMOUS AS FAGIN IN OLIVER! (1968)

Ron Moody (1924 - 2015). 91.  He is best remembered as Fagin in Oliver! (1968) but his CV beyond that famous role is very impressive.  Here's his IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0600531/?ref_=nv_sr_1

In 1980, he published a novel - The Devil You Don't - which I read and enjoyed.  I recall that it was a crime story within the nuclear power industry.

After I read the book, I wrote to Ron Moody and he sent me an autographed photograph.  On the back he wrote:

Dear Joe,

Thank you for the appreciation of my work.  I like to think that what I think makes other people think - I think!

All best wishes,

Ron.

RIP, sir!

From July 2011 to March 2023, I built my Dropped the Moon blog and received 333, 384 views.  Here is the link to that archive of musings, poetry, celebrity profiles, fast fiction, book reviews, music reviews, and much else - https://droppedthemoon.blogspot.com Please have a browse any time.  Due to a technical hitch, I have decided to create a new blog called '2023 New Dropped the Moon', to carry on doing what I have done since 2011.  I hope you enjoy both the archive and the continuance of posts.
