Here's a little-known fact about Don Grady that I bet you never knew: Don got his start as a mouseketeer on the original "Mickey Mouse Club." That's right folks, Don was a mouseketeer. He was on during the 1957-58 season of the show, when he was 13 years old. Here's a little-known fact about the "Club" itself: The original network for the "Mickey Mouse Club" was ABC. Fellow "M3S" cast member Tim Considine was not a mouseketeer, but he did appear in several serials, including "Spin & Marty" with David Stollery and "The Hardy Boys" with Tommy Kirk to name a few, that were shown on the "MMC." Besides Annette Funicello (of course!), a few other original mouseketeers who went on to greater fame include Johnny Crawford from "The Rifleman," Bobby Burgess from "The Lawrence Welk Show," "Wings" make-up artist Tommy Cole, & Paul Petersen from "The Donna Reed Show."

Yes, I did know Don was a Mousketeer. Did you know he went on to compose and do music production? He also dated Tina Cole in real life. :talk:

Yea I knew that too.

I knew all that too, except the dating Tina Cole part.

Don & Tina reportedly were really in a serious relationship. I'm sure that everyone who worked on the series is very much feeling for the loss of Don now.

I herd when they weren't filimg the show they had to practice the kissing seens and then ended up likeing each other as more then co-workers/friends. But I didn't know how long they dated or how serious they were.

I found a couple of pictures of him as Mouseketeer.
