A. At first, we didn’t completely understand it either, so don’t worry about being dumb. What Michael meant when he wrote that is that he hopes to one day have a wife and children who loves him as much as he loves them.
Q. I would like to know whatever you can tell me about Jack Wild. I saw him in “Oliver” and I thought he was very cute!!
A. We think Jack is a doll, too. To tell you a little about him, he’s 15 years old and he lives with his parents in a small town outside London just a few miles from where “Oliver” was actually filmed. His father works in a tire factory and his mother works in a small butcher shop. Jack’s hobbies consist of playing football, collecting stamps, swimming, and practicing on the drums. You can write to Jack and the other stars of “Oliver” c/o Columbia Pictures, Hollywood, California.

A. We’ll answer your question for Charlie: he’s married AND happy.
Q. I’ve been wondering about the pronunciation of Sajid Khan’s name. Can you help.
A. We’d be glad to. You pronounce his first name just as it looks. Although some people have mispronounced the j as an h, it is pronounced as if it were a hard j, as in jelly. His last name is pronounced with a hard k and sounds like con, the prefix to words like concert. Hope this helps.

Q. I read in your article “10 Things You Never Knew About Davy Jones” that his favorite drink was made with orange juice, sugar and ice cubes. Would you tell me if he melts the ice-cubes for his orange juice drink and then mixes it up with the mixer? I tried it and just mixed whole ice-cubes and broke the electric mixer. The drink cost me $10.00 to get the mixer fixed but the drink was fantastically good anyway. Thanks Davy!
A. You do use about three or four whole ice-cubes in Davy’s drink, but you must use an electric blender that chops ice.
