Mr. Drummond Has Passed Away

And now Todd Bridges is the last surviving member of the Drummond family. Because TMZ says that Conrad Bain, who played Mr. Drummond for all 8 seasons of Diff'rent Strokes, has floated up to the great, big penthouse in the sky where Dana Plato and Gary Coleman were waiting for him. Conrad's family was with him when he passed away at an independent living facility on Monday night. Conrad was 89 and would've turned 90 on February 4th.

Conrad was born in Canada and acted in some plays at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival before he moved to NYC. Conrad acted in a bunch of productions on Broadway before he sashayed onto our TV screens as Dr. Harmon in Maude and the legendary Mr. Drummond. Conrad's daughter Jennifer said that he was "an amazing father" and "a lot like Mr. Drummond but much more interesting in life."

Conrad is survived by his daughter Jennifer, his two sons and his twin brother Bonar Bain. Um, is it a bad time to say that I really want to know more about this Bonar Bain?

Rest in peace, Mr. Drummond! May heaven be a place where the phrase "Watcha talking about you know the rest..." is illegal.

Dang, I loved Different Strokes. I used to love when the sluts from Facts of Life would make an appearance! Or when Laverne and Shirley would show up on Happy Days? *head explodes*

What's an "independent living facility"? A house?

ahaha no. You have your own apartment but they have a nursing staff to give you pills and stuff.. and they check in from time to time to make sure you're still alive, I think..

Also, was it a thing anywhere else besides L.A. to say "hey the phone's for you" "who is it" "Willis" "Willis who (or Willis What)?"

WILLIS DICK FIT IN YO' MOUTH BIATCH?

independent living/assisted living is swank apartments/condos where there is a 24 hr nursing staff and activity dept regularly interacting with the residents (daily, meals, meds, etc.,).

Not Mr. Drummond! What about Mrs. Garrett?

Gary & Dana with their devil horns are trying to lure him to the dark side. And Buffy from Family Affair is their leader.

Do you remember (OF COURSE YOU DO) when Willis (what's his real name) did the interview about how Diff'rent Strokes isn't cursed b/c nothing's happened to
CONRAD BAIN?

EAT IT WILLIS! (He also does those commercials: "If you were struggling with alcohol like me, come stay at this hotel with counselors and you'll quit.")

Also, was it a thing anywhere else besides L.A. to say "hey the phone's for you" "who is it" "Willis" "Willis who (or Willis What)?"

WILLIS DICK FIT IN YO' MOUTH BIATCH?

(Calls husband)

It is kinda strange to see that three people in that picture are gone, two shouldn't be that's for sure. 89 is a good long life, I guess we can't expect much more than that can we?
