Kevin Corcoran, best known to generations of film fans as the youngest brother in the classic, emotionally devastating Disney kids film Old Yeller, has died at 66, his family confirmed today. Corcoran 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.
I'm really sad to hear this news. 66 is still young in our modern society. Corcoran was easily one of my favorite actors from the Walt Disney era. All my best to his family.

Have always loved Kevin Corcoran. Think the first film I ever saw him in was Pollyanna or The Shaggy Dog. He was a wonderful child actor and until recently was a regular at the Hollywood Show autograph show in LA along with Tommy Kirk. Absolutely adored his fans, may he RIP.
