John Megna (November 9, 1952September 5, 1995) was an American actor whose Broadway success at the age of seven in 1960's "All the Way Home" led to his being cast as Charles Baker 'Dill' Harris, the toothy young summer visitor in the 1962 film "To Kill a Mockingbird". According to "Mockingbird" author, Harper Lee, the character was based on her childhood friend, writer Truman Capote.

A half-brother of actress/singer/businesswoman Connie Stevens, Megna appeared in many television programs throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and as an adult, he turned to stage directing. He appeared in two car chase films starring Burt Reynolds and directed by Hal Needham in cameo roles: "Smokey and the Bandit II" and "Cannonball Run". On September 5, 1995, in Los Angeles, California, he died from AIDS-related complications at the age of 42.
