Johnny Crawford

Johnny Crawford started his career as a child performer in the show The Rifleman, and it remains his best known role even though he also starred in The Lone Ranger and The Loretta Young Show. He also embarked on a musical career as a recording artist, but by the 90s, he was nowhere to be seen on screen.

Although he did not find much work on TV and in the movies later, Crawford continued to meet his fans in his cowboy garbs, never shying away from autographs and selfies. Now, in his 70s, Johnny suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, and is under treatment for it, keeping his head high and his smile still bright.
