Why does no one know anything about Donna Corcoran?

Does anyone have any idea what happened to Donna Corcoran or, for that matter, Kevin Corcoran, Noreen Corcoran, Hugh Corcoran, Brian Corcoran, or Kelly Corcoran? It seems so strange that there is absolutely no information on an entire family of child and young adult actors. Kevin was very good in a number of movies and Donna gave one of my favorite child performances in this, the original and by far superior "Angles in the Outfield". But after about 1960, nothing! Is it a family decision to stay private or were they disillusioned or something? They were quite accomplished for having little training.

Well of course Noreen Corcoran went on to play Kelley Craig...niece to Bentley Craig played by John Forsythe,on 'Bachelor Father'....her brother Kevin rose to fame as 'Moochie' Daniels in countless Disney film scenarios

I thought Donna Corcoran was very good in this....better IMO than in "Don't Bother To Knock"....probably just me though.

Kevin Corcoran has been shown on TCM from time to time in a blurb reminiscing about the olden times back during Disney movie days.

I just saw AITO today (4/1/2013) for the first time but I also saw Ms. Corcoran as an orphan in another move a week ago on TCM (end of March 2013) called Scandal At Scourie, with Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. I thought she was adorable in both and a pretty good actor. Let's face it, if all orphans were as cute as her, there wouldn't be any.
