Johnny Crawford

This Los Angeles native had a great acting career. It started in 1955 as an original Mouseketeer. "The Rifleman" would be his most famous show. Mark McCain was the son of Lucas we all know. Johnny was a recording artist in his day. His best-selling single hit was "Cindy's Birthday". Of all young actors, he was among the best. At the age of seventy-five, Johnny is being laid to rest. Johnny Crawford (1946-2021) I thank wikipedia.org and imdb.com for information I obtained to write this poem

Awww! I'm sorry to hear one of my old faves is being laid to rest again. Boy I'm really getting old. I'm seeing all my old favorite actors and entertainers going on to glory. If I mention it young people say ,"Who is that?" A fine tribute to a fine actor. God Bless, JB
