Trivia
Corcoran, born June 10, 1949, went on to a career behind the camera. And unlike many child actors, he had a quiet life with a long marriage and no public drama. "I enjoy entertaining people and doing good work," Corcoran told the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm glad my life didn't have to be a spectacle." Diagnosed with colorectal cancer at the age of 60, Kevin died of the illness on a Tuesday, October 6, 2015, at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, aged 66. Corcoran is survived by his wife, Laura (nee Soltwedel), whom he married in 1972, by three sisters, Che, Noreen and Kerry, and by a brother, Hugh.
