Don DeFore Facts
In 1961, he starred in a unsold pilot for CBS called "Daddy O" where he played a handyman who, after being discovered by a producer, suddenly must cope with the new-found fame that comes with TV stardom.

He once generously helped the beloved Walt Disney out of a jam. During the annual Disneyland Christmas parade, Disney's grandchildren were supposed to ride with him in a horse drawn carriage. Parade time was approaching and the grandchildren had not yet shown up, so he called Don DeFore in a panic and asked if he could borrow two of his children, because he couldn't ride in the parade without kids in his carriage. So Don generously offered up two of his children, Dawn DeFore and Ronnie DeFore to ride in the carriage with Disney in the parade and they dutifully waved to the crowd. This is one of Dawn and Ronnie's fondest childhood memories, and they treasure the pictures of the occasion.

Had five children with Marion Holmes DeFore: Penny DeFore, David DeFore, Dawn DeFore, Ronnie DeFore, and Amy N. DeFore.
