Anyone who grew up in the 80's was familiar with different strokes. one of the greatest shows of all time.

Conrad Bain played Mr. Drummond. The adopted father of Arnold and Willis.

Yup...

Bain at that time was uncomfortable talking about the various personal tragedies that had befallen his three "Diff'rent Strokes" co-stars: Coleman, Dana Plato and Todd Bridges.

Coleman, whose legal and health woes were the stuff of tabloid fodder, died after a brain hemorrhage in 2010. Plato died in 1999 after an apparent drug overdose. Bridges, the sole surviving member of the trio, would later say that sexual abuse in his childhood drove him into a spiral of drug addiction; in 2012, he supported California legislation he hoped would protect child actors from sexual predators.

"It's painful," he said. "It is really painful. It leaves you with such a helpless feeling. I have been asked to go on all these talk shows and I just think the continued public discussion ... I can't bear the thought. I love them all."

Seemed like a decent guy, and was a good character actor. 89 is a good long life.

RIP Conrad Bain...
