Jon Provost

Jon Provost wasn’t your average kid. By age three, he was acting alongside Hollywood royalty like Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly! This pint-sized pro launched his career in 1953, but it was at seven that he truly struck gold.

Landing the role of Timmy Martin on “Lassie,” Jon charmed audiences for seven seasons with his adventures alongside the heroic collie. Though he eventually left acting as a teen, his work earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award and a place in TV history—not to mention a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
