Photograph article dated May 6, 1961 partially reads, "Would there be a recession at Walt Disney Productions if the Corcorans left town? Economists have not pondered the possibility, but the fact remains that the eight young Corcorans, who live at 17836 Raymer St., Northridge, take up a noticeable proportion of the square footage of the movie and television screens of the country. Even a list of the young thespians and what they're doing lines up like the figures on a graph: Donna - 19 - Freelance. Bill - 21 - Freelance. Revin - 11 - Walt Disney. Noreen - 17 - Bachelor Father. Hugh - 13 - Donna Reed Show (most recently). Kerry - 8 - Daniel Boone for Disney. Brian - 9 - Walt Disney. Kelly - 2 - Bachelor Father (one role)." Photograph caption reads, "'Learn that part,' orders Donna Corcoran, Northridge - Other Corcoran clansmen are Bill, Kevin, Noreen, Hugh, Kerry, Brian (front)."
