Before Netflix & YouTube: The Child Stars Who Lit Up The Screens Of Yesteryear
Johnny Crawford
Johnny Crawford was a bona fide television star by the time most kids were memorizing multiplication tables. Launched into the bright lights of show business at the youthful age of nine, Johnny wasn’t just watching the Mickey Mouse Club in 1955—he was one of the original Mouseketeers.
This Disney stepping stone propelled him to even bigger things. By 12, he was trading in his mouse ears for a six-shooter, playing the sharpshooting Mark McCain on “The Rifleman.” His on-screen skills with a Winchester rifle were so impressive, they even earned him an Emmy nomination at the young age of 13.
