Ron Moody died today at 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!
