R.I.P Mr. Drummond....

Conrad Bain is dead at age 89. TMZ reports that the actor, best-known for his long run as father Phillip Drummond on the hit series "Diff'rent Strokes," died Monday night in Livermore, Calif.
While details are scant, Jennifer Bain, the actor's daughter, confirmed the news to the website, saying: "He was an amazing person. He was a lot like Mr. Drummond, but much more interesting in real life. He was an amazing father."
Bain appeared on 179 episodes of the landmark "Diff'rent Strokes" sitcom, which ran from 1978 to 1986. Bain played a Manhattan millionaire who adopted the children of his former household maid, an African American. The children were notably played by child stars Gary Coleman, Todd Bridges and Dano Plato.

Willis is an orphan again.

He looked just like my father in law. It's almost creepy.

At least someone on that show went on to live a normal life. The three kid actors did not turn out so well.

Willis is an orphan again.

Mrs. Garrett will take care of him

Yes, loved Maude....great spinoff of All in the Family. Norman Lear had some great hits in the 70's.

So, who's still alive from that show? Aren't the child actors dead or in prison?

[Gracelander]

Willis is apparently good friends with Santana Moss (he said so on his fb page, along with a pic.)

All in the Family also spunoff The Jeffersons and Maude spunoff Good Times.

I can't believe he was just now 89. I think he seemed 89 to me when I watched that show in the early 1980s.
