This site is dedicated to the works of actor Don DeFore who co-starred on Broadway,

nearly 30 feature films from the 1930s to the 60s, played the role of "Thorny" –

Ozzie and Harriet's next-door-neighbor (1952-1957),

and is perhaps best known for his role as "Mr. B," in the 1960s TV sitcom "Hazel."

 (1913-1993 Westwood Memorial Park)

 

 

Ron DeFore, Don’s son, has authored a book, “Growing Up in Disneyland Second Edition”

(first edition no longer in print) about his famous father.  The title is a metaphor for Ron’s life

 in a celebrity family and also literal, as his Dad was the only person to own a food establishment

in Disneyland bearing the name of a real live person–“Don DeFore’s Silver Banjo Barbecue” restaurant

in Frontierland from 1957–1962.

This Edition includes updates, 125 photos, and more writings from Don DeFore’s unpublished memoirs!
