Conrad Bain, who played Philip Drummond, a wealthy white widower who adopts two young African-American brothers in the hit sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," died Monday, the Associated Press reports. He was 89.

I'm now in tears. I loved Conrad.

RIP. This made me remember Gary Coleman died also. Wow I loved Diff'rent Strokes

I just heard on MSNBC. I thought he would have outlived them all. Only Todd Bridges is left from the cast. How sad.

NO! I was just watching on Antenna TV the other night, and it was a scene with Mr. Drummond, Mrs. Garrett, Kimberly, and Arnold. I thought about how strange it was that the younger two were no longer with us while the older two were, but now I guess that's not so.

Of course, he was also on Maude.

RIP.

AMS, I had similar thoughts just the other night. Since Antenna has been showing DS, I've been seeing a LOT of him lately, also on Maude. He lived a very long life and I hope he enjoyed his years of retirement. I seem to remember that he had a twin brother, I don't know if he's still with us or not.

Mr. Drummond! I use to watch Different Strokes with my family. We loved that show.

Rest in peace, Conrad.

I remember him best as the innkeeper on Dark Shadows. He only appeared a few times, but had a very memorable death via werewolf Chris Jennings. I remember his hammy, terrified face in closeup.

Mrs. Garrett is still alive.

RIP

He will be deeply missed. He was 89.

Did you know that he has an identical twin brother named Bonar Bain?

I loved him on Maude.

RIP.

Mrs. Garrett is still alive.

As well as Mary Jo Catlett (Pearl).

I'll miss Conrad. I saw Todd Bridges in August and he told me that they spoke on the phone & saw each other often. It's nice to know that despite Todd's problems over the years, Conrad never wrote him off.
