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photos, and more writings from Don DeFore’s unpublished memoirs!
