This show ends up on TV Land time and again. There was a maid that left the show and she I assume was original. What happened to her? I know she went onto a new show where the focus of the show was Tootie's tits.Originally Posted by LLL

Is the maid alive?
Yes, Charlotte Rae. She was the help though and doesn't count. That is why I said original 4 and not 5.This show ends up on TV Land time and again.

She left after season 1 to do The Facts of Life.
She's now 86 BTW.

Questionable. Who is more important to the Jeffersons? Florence the maid, or George's underperforming son Lamont?Yes, Charlotte Rae. She was the help though and doesn't count. That is why I said original 4 and not 5.

Just calling her the "help" does not count as a reason to dismiss her. She basically launched a erotic lesbian escapade show at a college dorm. That says to me she was part of the Original Five.
Not in my dead pool so

I believe he damn near killed someone with a baseball bat under a crack haze. I saw him on some "where are they now" show like 5 years ago. Sounds like he got it together.
Hard to believe the semi hot daughter nuked herself. I actually felt bad for her on the Howard Stern show when she got obliterated by callers.
I really don't give a shit about Gary Coleman. He was a midget who had his opportunity and fucked it up.
Huh? He had kidney disease from a young age and his parents ripped him off. How is that "fucking it up"?I believe he damn near killed someone with a baseball bat under a crack haze. I saw him on some "where are they now" show like 5 years ago. Sounds like he got it together.

I remember their was that old game show with that annoying British Lady as a host called "Weakest Link". Anyways, I rarely watched that shit but one time channel flicking I turned the channel and Gary Coleman was on the show. He was standing right next to Ron Jeremy. They started cracking some jokes about how Gary at that time was still a virgin and how Ron has done lots of things thousands of times in life that Gary hasn't done once. I guess you might have to of seen it to get the humor in the whole thing.
RIP Conrad
I agree who would of thought Todd "Willis" Bridges would be the last remaining of the cast the way his life was headed? Bridges actually is sort of close with Conrad through the years too according to this article:
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...dies-at-age-8/
So Dana Plato's kid killed himself too? Geesh.
Todd Bridges credited Conrad Bain with saving his life back when he was fucked up.

Son's death
Almost 11 years to the day of Dana Plato's death, on May 6, 2010, Plato's son Tyler Lambert died at age 25 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[21] His grandmother, Joni Richardson, stated that Lambert was experimenting with both drugs and alcohol, which may have contributed to his suicide.[22] Johnny Whitaker, Plato's former manager and a friend of the family, told ABCNews.com that Lambert always said he "wanted to be with Mom." "Mother's Day was always a difficult time, not only because it was Mother's Day but the anniversary of Dana's death," Whitaker said

Apparently she also became a lesbian near the end of her life, but I don't necessarily believe she was one, but rather she probably found a woman she could use for drugs.
I know a girl who actually met Todd Bridges while he was in rehab (she was working there) and dated him for awhile.
Conrad Bain was one of those guys who always looked old.
Even when he was on Maude in 1972 (at age 49), he looked old.
This is why it was especially surprising to people to hear that Bain was still live over 40 years later.
He did live a long life (almost 90), though.
After playing Mr. Drummond on a 1996 episode of Fresh Prince, he retired from acting, but oddly reappeared two years ago in a single episode of the TNT series Unforgettable.
Diff'rent Strokes was my favorite show in the late '70s and early '80s, and I looked forward to it every week.
It remained my favorite show until I started watching The A Team in 1983.
Just read this on Wikipedia about Todd Bridges.
If it's true, LOL:
Bridges stated in an interview with Meredith Vieira that while he was questioning his sexual orientation, he and Plato had sexual relations during the production of the show, which he says Plato did to help him identify his sexuality.
Shame she off'd herself. She could have resurrected herself in a B type movie. Look at Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler where he parlayed that into millions.She was pretty hot in Playboy though
She could have played some trashy hooker in one of those art type films and parlayed it into a new founded fame. She was a slutty chick, if she had just waited a couple more years she could have made it happen.
Watch Lindsey Lohan. She is basically washed up. In 10 years she will be a mature star.
