Smile Is Conrad Bain dead or alive?

Is Conrad Bains still with us or has he kicked the proverbial bucket? If he is no longer in this mortal coil, how did he die? Also I read that Todd Bridges is in jail for sexual assault of a minor. I just refuse to believe this could be true. I heard another rumour that a Diff'rent Strokes movie will be released in around 2002 and that it will focus on a "grown up" Arnold's drug addiction. Apparently Arnold will fall out with his family after a failed acting career and then blow all the money he did make on drugs. He then tries to sue Mr Drummond. Does this sound familiar?

He is DEFINITELY alive, and well! We recently saw him in three E! True Hollywood Stories - Dana Plato, Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life. and on The TV Guide's Truth Behind the Sitcom Scandals: Diff'rent Strokes, Gilligan's Island, etc. And someone else asked if Charlotte Rae was dead. She is DEFINITELY alive and well too!

If you cannot find a picture of them together, all you have to do is take a pic of Conrad Bain and duplicate it and you will have a picture of what Conrad and his brother looks like......


......LOL. I am kidding of course.
