He was 89.
January 16, 201313 yr Member RIP. This made me remember Gary Coleman died also. Wow I loved Diff'rent Strokes
January 16, 201313 yr Member I just heard on MSNBC. I thought he would have outlived them all. Only Todd Bridges is left from the cast. How sad.
January 16, 201313 yr Member 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.
January 16, 201313 yr Member 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.
January 16, 201313 yr Member Mr. Drummond! I use to watch Different Strokes with my family. We loved that show. Rest in peace, Conrad.
January 16, 201313 yr Member 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.

January 17, 201313 yr Member RIP This is from Sitcoms Online FB page: RIP, Conrad Bain. Arthur from Maude and of course Mr. Drummond on Diff'rent Strokes. We will have a full tribute tomorrow on the blog along with marathon details. Antenna TV - Tribune Broadcasting Company will pay tribute with a marathon on Saturday (Jan. 19) from 1-8pm ET/PT with four hours each of his finest moments on Maude and Diff'rent Strokes. He will be deeply missed. He was 89.
January 17, 201313 yr Member 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.
