Yep, I found a family photo (out of date I'm guessing, as I think he's now divorced...)

He did! It seems his poodle was a big part of his life. Someone even wrote a play about travelling with his dog up to a film set. I couldn't find a photo of Jack with his dog, but I did find a photo of the dog with her travelling companion.

Fun thread! Found this after a google search:

Dogs have almost always been prominent in the world of arts. A favorite subject of artists, the Poodle probably appears in more works of art and literature than any other dog. There were drawings of Poodles by several artists such as Durer (Germany, 15th and 16th centuries) and Goya (Spain, 18th century). Gertrude stein, Alexander Woollcort and Booth Tarkington were among the first to write about their Poodles.

In addition to being famous by nature, some Poodles also became famous simply for being companions to famous artists and/or celebrities. In his book Why We Love the Dogs We Do, Dr. Stanley Coren gives the following list of celebrities that owned Poodles at lease once in their lives (pp. 274-7). It’s amazing the amount of artists and/or celebrities owning Poodles. Their dogs’ names (if known), appear behind theirs.
