Conrad Bain, the actor who played a white millionaire who adopted two African American boys on the NBC comedy "Diff'rent Strokes," has died. He was 89.
Bain's daughter Jennifer said Bain died of natural causes in Livermore, where he had been moved to a nursing home a few years ago.
"Diff'rent Strokes," which started its run on NBC in 1978 and ended in 1986 on ABC, was popular mainly due to young co-star Gary Coleman, who played the mischievous Arnold Jackson, one of the two sons adopted by Bain's character, the patient widower Phillip Drummond. Drummond was the regular straight man to the wisecracking Arnold. http://www.latimes.c....,5895179.story
R.I.P, Different Strokes was a good show.
