JACK WOOLGAR
The official web site (like there's an unofficial one!)
WHAT’S NEW?
On this newly updated (2025) site you will find more information about him, his work and his life as seen though my eyes, Tim his youngest son.​
About this site
This web site was originally launched in 2003 as a tribute to mark the 25th anniversary of his death on 14th July 1978. It was the updated on what would have been his 100th birthday in 2013.
​
I have done very little else since then but having spent a lot of time since the pandemic on family history I have fleshed out some of the missing years. I will be updating this now with the information I have gleaned.
He was a popular character actor of his day, famous for his chesty cough and still well remembered 40 odd years after his death.
The site is divided into several chapters of his life and career. You may be interested in a few, many or all. I will be adding to the site as I can.
