Ron DeFore is the second son of movie, television and Broadway star, Don DeFore. Don DeFore co-starred in more than twenty feature films and is perhaps best known for his TV role as "Thorny" in "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" and his co-starring role as "Mr. B" in the 1960s TV hit series, "Hazel." His mother was also an entertainer in the late 1930s and early '40s as the lead vocalist with the Henry Busse Orchestra as well as Art Kassel and His Kassels in the Air orchestra. She recorded with both and with the later made "I'm a Little Teapot" famous. Ron has a brother, David, and three sisters, Penny, Dawn, and Autumn. His upbringing in Brentwood, just outside of Hollywood--surrounded by celebrities--made for a life full of amazing experiences including having a father who owned a restaurant in Disneyland, "Don DeFore's Silver Banjo Barbecue" restaurant in Frontierland. Ron's exciting brushes with history continued all the way to his semi-retirement.
