James Darren Singer/Actor - February 28th, 2018 James William Ercolani (born June 8, 1936), known by his stage name James Darren, is an American television and film actor, television director, and singer. He notably played Moondoggie in Gidget in 1959, and recorded a string of pop hits for Colpix Records, the biggest of which was "Goodbye Cruel World" (#3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961). It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Another sizeable hit was "Her Royal Majesty" (#6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962). He is also featured in one of the Scopitone series of pop music video jukebox films ("Because You're Mine").
Twice, in 1959 and 1961, Darren played teen idols on episodes of The Donna Reed Show. Darren's role in the World War II film The Guns of Navarone (1961) was an attempt to break out of his teen image.
