JOHNNY CRAWFORD

Johnny Crawford is an American singer, musician, and actor, as well as an original Mouseketeer. Johnny is well known in the 1958 to 1963 television program, The Rifleman, where he played the role of the son of Luca McCain (Chuck Connors), Mark. In 1990, Johnny put together a 16-piece 1920s period band, The Johnny Crawford Dance Orchestra. The dance orchestra was the fruit of his investment of drawing from his family’s musical roots to perform in cocktail lounges.

Charlotte is Johnny’s childhood sweetheart, with whom he reconnected within that same year. They got married in 1995 but eventually separated. Crawford was once asked what being a child actor was like, and he answered that life is not easy for anybody and that people have a rough life too, even when they are not actors. In 2019, Johnny Crawford was reported to have Alzheimer’s disease.
