Don Grady, who played the dimpled-chinned Robbie Douglas on the 1960-72 sitcom My Three Sons – and, at age 12, was a Mouseketeer on Walt Disney's original The Mickey Mouse Club – died Wednesday in Thousand Oaks, Calif., after a battle with cancer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He was 68.

Like The Donna Reed Show and The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, My Three Sons, which debuted on ABC before moving to CBS, was squeaky clean and went for the gentle laugh.
