Johnny Crawford

Raised in a family filled with successful figures in the entertainment industry, he no surprises that he later followed suit – his father and brothers each received an Emmy nomination. Johnny Crawford’s career began as a child actor. At age 12, Crawford played Mark McCain in the Western series The Rifleman, where he was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He landed an acting credit for other titles, including The Lone Ranger, The Loretta Young Show, Crossroads, and Whirlybirds.

Along the way, Crawford became more famous when he made his way into the music industry. Through the years, he released four Billboard Top-40 hits: Your Nose is Gonna Grow, Proud, Rumors, and Cindy’s Birthday. However, out of all his achievements, perhaps the most significant one he made took place outside the spotlight. In 1995, after a little reunion with his high school sweetheart Charlotte Samco, the two got married.
