Well, it worked for the guy on Growing Pains

Yes, he guest starred on Maude. But he wasn't on Diff'rent Strokes, Cousin Anna was played by Conrad Bain

Bonar Bain's filmography on IMDb says differently.

I was seriously thinking of naming one of my Sons Bonar !

No , seriously I was going to post something about the funny name Bonar here , but didn't want to be the first one to mention it ! Thanks Mace Dolex !

On Maude, I think Conrad was playing both parts until the end when Bonar came out of the den.

Amazing only Walter knew, and never mentioned, Arthur had a twin.

You're right, several sites cited him as a guest star but the closing credits of that episode of season 6 ("The Van Drummonds") doesn't include his name. Conrad played both roles

Actor Ivan Bonar could maybe have a son, nephew, or brother named... Bonar Bonar! lol

I wonder if Bonar Bain had a Bowmar Brain?

Gotcha. I guess that it was Conrad that played Cousin Anna then. The last time that I watched "The Van Drummonds" was before that I even knew that Conrad Bain had a twin brother. Creepy episode!

I agree. By season 6, the show was in its declining years. The Wedding could have been a good series finale

That was even worse as the characters name on the show was Boner with an 'E' that I'm still amazed how that got past the TV censors.
