Mark Lester, the child star of Oliver!, left acting after 1977 to become a successful osteopath and acupuncturist, owning the Carlton Clinic and serving as a theatre charity patron. He maintained a close friendship with Michael Jackson, even claiming he may be the biological father of Jackson's daughter, Paris. Lester retired from acting but has since made occasional returns to the screen, including a role in 2012. #oliver #MarkLester #michaeljackson #parisjackson #childstar | Jeff Waters
