Johnny Crawford accomplished a lot of things by the time he was a teenager. When he was 13 years old, he got an Emmy nomination for playing Mark McCain! Although he lost to Dennis Weaver of Gunsmoke, it was still an honor for someone so young to get nominated.

Cigarettes and Chuck Connors
Sadly, Chuck Connors drew his last breath on November 10, 1992 as a result of pneumonia stemming from lung cancer. Although his character was only portrayed as a smoker once on the show, Chuck was a chain smoker in his real life and went through 3 packs a day until he was in his 50s. Apparently, after starting in 1940, it took the actor 30 years to quit but by then it was too late.
