Conrad Bain, the star of the ’70s and ’80s sitcom Diff’rent Strokes,
has died, his daughter confirmed Wednesday. He was just three weeks
short of his 90th birthday. Bain had a long career of playing
professional characters such as doctors and lawyers before his breakout
part, a conservative neighbor of Maude on Maude. After that show ended, Bain landed his own sitcom, Diff’rent Strokes, where he played a Park Avenue widower who adopted two young black boys from Harlem—a rare sight on 1970s television.
