Timeline
Born in 1945 in Glendale, California, he had an enthusiastic stage mother who pushed him into the business.
He began performing, as an eight-year-old, as one of the original "Mousketeers" on The Mickey Mouse Club (1955) in 1955.
He also appeared in such movies as The Monolith Monsters (1957) and Houseboat (1958), opposite the likes of Cary Grant and Sophia Loren, before scoring big, at age 12, as Donna Reed's son on her popular sitcom, The Donna Reed Show (1958). With Carl Betz as his highly practical doctor dad and Shelley Fabares as his older pretty sister, the foursome became the ideal nuclear family for late 50s/early 60s viewers. Paul and his alter-ego, "Jeff Stone", literally grew up on the show. By his teens, the good-looking, dark-haired lad had become a formidable heartthrob. Fan clubs sprouted up everywhere. So popular were both Paul and Shelley that they spun off into recording careers, groomed to become singing idols despite their modest voices. She scored with the #1 hit, "Johnny Angel", and he had a few minor hits with "She Can't Find Her Keys", "Keep Your Love Locked", "Lollipops and Roses" and "My Dad".
In addition to playing siblings "Jeff" and "Trisha" on The Donna Reed Show (1958), he is the real-life big brother of Patty Peterson.
Guest parts on The Virginian (1962) and The F. B. I.
(1965) did nothing to advance him.
The fun ended, however, after the show's demise in 1966. His All-American teen typecast didn't fit the bill as the dissonant Vietnam counterculture took hold. His acting attempts as a serious young adult also went nowhere. Audiences still saw Paul as "Jeff Stone".
Roles in A Time for Killing (1967), Something for a Lonely Man (1968) and Journey to Shiloh (1968) came and went.
He has one daughter born in 1987 from a brief affair.
He's been through practically the worst that can happen to a former child star when the Hollywood tide suddenly turns and one is no longer a part of the neat elite. Unlike others, however, such as Anissa Jones, Rusty Hamer and Dana Plato, he survived. As a result, actor Paul Petersen, today, is THE most dedicated advocate in protecting both present-day child stars and shunned one-time celebrity tykes, alike. Paul formed "A Minor Consideration", a child-actor support group back in 1990, and it has had a tremendously positive and profound effect in Hollywood. It started out much differently for Paul back in the 50s.
As of Decemer 2001 he was heading up the growing advocacy group A Minor Consideration, protecting young professionals.
In March 2011 he attended the annual Williamsburg (VA) film festival.
Profiled in the 2016 book, "X Child Stars: Where Are They Now?", by Kathy Garver and Fred Ascher.
