Johnny Crawford

In recent years, Johnny Crawford has remained out of the media limelight, which is why fans are frantically looking for his whereabouts. Born March 26, 1946, Crawford became a household name for his role as Mark McCain in the ABC series The Rifleman. He is one of the original Mouseketeers of The Walt Disney Company and broadened his legacy on stage, films, television, and even music in 1955. He last appeared in the 2019 film The Marshal, playing William S. Hart. He formed the dance orchestra band, JCO (Johnny Crawford Orchestra) in 1992, performing for 15 consecutive years at Beverly Hilton’s Art Directors Guild Awards shows.

He built his legacy in music with 4 hits, including Cindy’s Birthday (1962), which were listed in the Billboard Top 40 charts in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Now aged 74, the Rifleman star is not in a healthy shape as he battles Alzheimer’s disease. Recently, Paul Petersen, his friend from the Mickey Mouse Club, launched a GoFundMe campaign to encourage fans to support him in this difficult situation. We hope he has excellent insurance to help with the costs.
