Tommy Kirk, the child actor of Old Yeller and The Shaggy Dog, has died. He was 79.
His death was announced by his friend and child actor Paul Petersen on Facebook where he wrote, "TOMMY KIRK 9/28/2021."
"My friend of many decades, Tommy Kirk, was found dead last night. You will surely recall his string of Disney movies; 'Shaggy Dog. Ol' Yeller,' etc.," Petersen wrote. "Tommy was intensely private. He lived alone in Las Vegas, close to his friend…and 'Ol Yeller' co-star, Bev Washburn…and it was she who called me this morning."
