ACTOR KEVIN CORCORAN HAS DIED AT 66


Kevin Anthony "Moochie" Corcoran
(June 10, 1949 – October 6, 2015)

(Fox News) – Kevin Corcoran, best known as the youngest
brother in the classic Disney kids film "Old Yeller," died
Tuesday. He enjoyed a career as a child actor before
transitioning as an adult to a career behind the camera,
working in various capacities on numerous films and
television shows, including "Pete’s Dragon," and most
recently as a producer on "Sons of Anarchy."

Born in Santa Monica, California, Corcoran got his start in
a small role in "The Glen Miller Story" in 1954, establishing
himself as a child actor playing several different, yet similar
characters all called “Moochie” in various Disney productions.

He would play different versions of “Moochie” throughout the
1950s, and among his roles during this period were parts in
three Mickey Mouse Club serials, episodes of the series of
television shorts "Spin and Marty," and "The Shaggy Dog."
