Biography

John Franklin Carson grew up in Hollywood, California. His father, actor Kit Carson (born Eldridge Franklin Carson), appeared in numerous Western films, notably alongside Dale Robertson. His mother, Rosemonde James, had some acting experience and worked primarily as a fashion model; she was elected president of the Mannequins Association of Los Angeles in 1968. Johnny began his career in commercials, including one at age 5 or 6 where he played a circus ringmaster for a local department store. He later provided cartoon voices for Hanna-Barbera. While studying at Valley College, he took a lead role in the drama department's production of "Taming of the Shrew" in November 1969.

Following his feature film debut, a naming conflict with Johnny Carson arose over the use of the name John Carson. Consequently, he adopted the professional name John David Carson. Around that time, he was romantically linked to Kim Darby, whose ex-husband, James Stacy, suffered a motorcycle accident resulting in the loss of an arm and a leg, leaving him paraplegic. Carson and Darby met during the filming of Joie (1973).
