North is best remembered for his role in ‘Dennis the Menace.’ See photos of the late actor from childhood to his final years.

Child star Jay North, who played Dennis Mitchell in the sitcom based on the popular comic book, "Dennis the Menace," died Sunday in Florida. He was 73.

His star turn on the hit show in the 1950s and ’60s endeared him to millions of TV viewers — but by his account left him with the scars of a miserable youth.
