- Diff'rent Strokes remains one of the most popular American sitcoms from the 1970s and 1980s. The show’s premise about two young black children being adopted by a rich white man after their mother, his housekeeper, passed away was rather unique. This led to one of the funniest and most touching shows of all time. And it’s all thanks to the great cast.

Tragically, several cast members from Diff'rent Strokes faced untimely deaths, which deeply impacted the show's legacy. One of the most well-known actors from the series, Gary Coleman, had a tumultuous life both during and after the show. Despite his success as Arnold Jackson, Coleman faced financial difficulties and legal troubles. He passed away in 2010 at the age of 42 from a brain hemorrhage.
Another cast member who faced a challenging life was Dana Plato, who portrayed Kimberly Drummond. Sadly, her life was filled with one tragedy after the next and she found it difficult to transition to different roles after the show ended. Her life was cut short when she died from a drug overdose in 1999 at the age of 34.
Conrad Bain, who played the patriarch figure, Phillip Drummond, had a long and successful career both before and after Diff'rent Strokes. He appeared in numerous television shows and films, but his portrayal of Drummond was one of his most memorable roles. Bain passed away in 2013 at the age of 89, and he’s still remembered as one of the best TV actors of all time.
While the deaths of these cast members were tragic, it is important to remember their contributions to the entertainment industry. Diff'rent Strokes brought these actors into the spotlight and allowed them to touch the hearts of millions through their performances. Despite their personal struggles, their characters on the show brought joy, laughter, and important life lessons to audiences around the world.

What happened to the house maid
We all miss you Mr drummend and gary Coleman and dana plato and Charlotte rae😢
Gary Coleman in his prime was the funniest child actor ever .. Bain was also great in Maude .. Glad Norman Lear gave him his own show
"Different Strokes," was one of those rare comedy sitcoms that you might find a few times in your lifetime...each character was played extremely well. Can't really name a favorite, as the all were exceptional in their roles.
🙏 RIP DIFFERENT STROKES 🙏
CHARACTERS
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for the show. Which episode appealed to you the most?
I used to watch this show each week. It was a good show!
Glad to know that you're a fan of the show! Who is your favorite cast member?
I liked the 3 kids because I was a kid and could relate to them.
For sure. Mine is Gary.
Dana Plato was just too beautiful for an end to life like that. RIP 🪦. And Gary Coleman, he was the greatest who spent his entire life defending his integrity. They both lived tragic lives and I am so sorry it ended like that for them. RIP 🪦.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
I remember Dana Plato on the show back in the day when I was a kid. I thought she was one of the most beautiful girls I've seen, full of life and optimism as portrayed. Sad and unfortunate how her life took a turn and later ended.
I watched this show in reruns with my family in the late 90s. I have fond memories of this show and the time spent with my family watching it, many of whom have also since passed on. It’s like tears in the rain.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I loved the show when i was a kid..later i remember Todd and Dana struggling with addictions and couldnt understand why they couldnt just get right until i ended up personaly going through addiction issues myself for many years..Its something I don't wish on anybody..I make five years clean in November. And i now help others to stay clean.. But many relapse and dont make it..Its very heartbreaking to witness. Dana Plato didnt make it but Todd Bridges did..As hard as it may sound some have to die for others to live when it comes to addiction..But no addict needs to suffer. Because we can, and we do recover..Rip Dana Plato and the rest of the cast..
What a wonderful show this is.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
RIP Dana Plato and Gary Coleman.Both gone too soon but never forgotten!
May they all continue resting in peace
🤔😢 Well, they can't do anything else now . Can they ?...
They are missed. Which episode of the show is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse I know this question wasn't directed at me but I'll reply by mentioning the two-parter "The Bicycle Man." As good as it was, it missed a golden opportunity to teach kids not to leave their friends behind in a situation that is sketchy.
It’s weird Willis is the only one still alive .
Thanks for an honest and respectful look back on their lives. Let’s learn from others and they can be honored.
I had a dream about Gary Coleman when I was a kid. We were playing together and stuff. Big Fan of Gary.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing your experience. We're a big fan of Gary too. Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
Conrad was also a supporting player on Maude and Mr. President, the shows he did before and after Strokes, respectively.
THESE GREAT TV SHOWS🙏 ARE UNREALITY!😭💔
Absolutely loved, this programme as a kid 😀..wha wha wha what you say willis 😂
I always thought it would be cool to ride bicycles with Gary Coleman when I was a kid.
Loved the show
Hits me with the died peacefully in Livermore CA meanwhile me there damn.. i don’t wanna die here..
Conrad Bain had a twin brother who was a parking lot attendant where I lived in Canada when the show was still on the air. It was very strange seeing this guy working for minimum wage in 40 below weather.
his twin brother had a brief role on an episode of Maude.
@@StraightTalkinFedoraChiche also played a role in different strokes dressed up as a woman Anna Van Drummond
Beautiful cast which was a strength and accessibility fod audiences around the world
There was something about that as an ensemble that is extremely magical and extremely rare and in many ways shows like the Golden Girls, the early seasons of Rosanne had a similar ensemble magic to rhem
Gary and Dana had such tragic lives in the end i whilst i still love watching them, it is heartbreaking.
Gary was literally one of the greatest child stars of all time. Nobody in the 70s onwards could touch and likely he is the last of that particular Hollywood legacy.
Success does not always bring happiness, remember my children watching this.
I felt bad when Arnold and Dudley got almost molested by the bike shop owner, who was the WKRP in Cincinnati guy.
My favorite🙌🔥🙌
Dudley is my favorite character on different strokes
Us too! Who comes in at second place?
I watched this in the 70s well sometimes because it wasnt my bag of tea lol
So many of these stars like Gary Coleman and Dana Plato lead tragic lives and struggled.Its very sad as these stars make so much money and they are depressed and alot of them died from drugs.
I used to love Different Strokes on tv.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I would watched a Different Strokes show after school in the 80's. I'm just sad only is left from the show
I loved the show
Dana Plato had so much potential. Gone too soon 😔
Conrad Bain also played Arthur Harmon on the show Maude.

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
Todd Bridges is still alive
I can watch different strokes on decades. My favorite characters where Mrs. Garrett and Arnold
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerse When Mr. Drummond got Married. But I like them all
Dana was in an episode of " Chips " .
Dana and Gary died way too young.
I wonder how many people knew the character Sam on the show was also John Connors homeboy in Terminator 2 Judgement day
Diff'rent Strokes was A Great T.V. Series!!!
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?

There was also another black child actor on the show but only appeared occationally as a small supporting role, he played arnolds best friend dudley. I dont remember his real name though...
It's very unfortunate how dana plato life turned out so unfortunate
Aww rip everyone i loved different strikes grew up with it im now 46 years old time flys i loved the show use too watch it after school 😢😢😢 rip
Feeling sad for dana plato kimberley 😢😢😢..
Gary Coleman was a great personality and the Child Labor trafficking continues to plague Hollywood and the dreams of the youth that died along the way, survivors and family's accumulating dead celeb's wealth. :(
You mean 1978 to 1986.

ダナプラトーはセクシーダイナマイト。
スタイルいい。

Y’ know Conrad Bain was the only actor to appear in all the episodes of different strokes. Just an interesting fact no one thinks about.
I did love all
You're a true fan! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
RIP
What about Charlotte Rae?
Charlotte Rae died of bone cancer in 2018, at age 92.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc ya, knew she had passed. Guess video needs to be updated.
@@santafetrucker1596 Todd Bridges, who played Willis, is the only surviving cast member left.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hcthe new housekeeper who replace Charlotte is still alive. Mary joe Catlett, She also voice Misses Puff on SpongeBob 😂😂 i always knew her voice sound familiar when she scream and talk on the show lmao 😂😂😂
@@jjkid1013 Thanks 🙏 for responding to my comment ❤️
I make up my mind who was my best. They all were good at what they did. They were heck of a 😂😂😂.. funny at what they did. The good old days before rubbish.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show and the cast. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
Todd Bridges passed away last week
No he didnt..Get a life and quit spreading false rumors
懐かしいな
Yes sir
What happened to the housemaid ??
On Dana Plato it should also be noted how her mother managed to circumvent the protected money Plato earned under the Coogan Act and quickly an amendment was made to it called the Plato Ammendment
Interesting, thanks for sharing this info about Dana Plato! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I wish I could watch the entire Different Strokes series.
You should 💗
How should I watch it or where
So sad 😔
So true! Who was your favorite cast member?
@@FactsVerse I think it was Willis and Nrs. GARRET
Love the show way back then, but I am curious about what happened to Danny Cooksey and did he obtain success after Diff'rent strokes after the show went off the air? thought I ask.
We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerse I will have to say the two part episode that dealt with hitchhiking and the episode when Arnold and his friend were on the set of a Knight Rider episode.
I believe he has his own music group now, the Dan cooksey band...
@@phoenixman8569 thanks for the update, appreciate it very much.
Saying Canadian-American actor is the same as saying American-American actor.
What you talking about dad!
Was the famous saying not Willis
Thanks for the correction! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
I this Gary appeared in one episode of drake and josh
Arnold only got divorced; because wife wanted half.
Half? Half of what? He was broke and was forced to take a blue collar job...
Isn't Willis still alive??
Thankfully, YES.
Whatchoo talkin ‘bout Willis?
Arnold
I had no idea that Conrad was Canadian.Lethbrigde is not a exciting city.
Glad to know that you discovered something new about Conrad. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
iiiiiconnnic !! 🥴
Ok
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
This video fails for not mentioning Night Trap and Postal 2.
I feel bad for dana,todd and Gary. Sad path ☹️
we all have choices in this life, famous or not, they didn't need to travel down this road.
@@tonyfriend7413 valid point.
MY FAVORITE EPISODE WAS ---- SAM'S NEW PAL. IT SHOWS THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS JUDGE PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE NOT WHAT THEY ARE. MY SECOND FAVORITE EPISODE WAS--- COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. AT THE END OF THE EPISODE ARNOLD HAS A MUCH MORE REALISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE FACT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE IN MUCH MORE OF A BAD SITUATION THAN HE IS JUST BECAUSE HE IS SHORTER THAN AVERAGE. THE CHARACTER OF SAM ALMOST COMPLETELY RUINED THE SHOW BECAUSE HE WAS SIMPLY NOT BELIEVABLE TO ME ESPECIALLY WITH THAT RIDICULOUS SOUP BOWL HAIRCUT. ANYTIME THAT A CHARACTER THAT IS NOT BELIEVABLE IS PUT WITH CHARACTERS THAT ARE BELIEVABLE IT ALMOST NEVER WORKS OUT!!! ALSO THE FIRST ACTRESS THAT PLAYED HIS MOTHER WAS TERRIBLE BECAUSE OF THAT ACCENT THAT SOUNDED SO FAKE EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN!!! THE 2ND ACTRESS THAT PLAYED SAM'S MOTHER WAS SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE SHE WAS SO MUCH MORE BELIEVABLE TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
@FactsVerse I WISH THAT YOU WOULD DO A STORY ABOUT THE SITCOM---- GROUNDED FOR LIFE!!! I THINK THAT IT WAS BY FAR THE MOST UNDERRATED SITCOM IF NOT THE MOST UNDERRATED TV SHOW OF ALL TIME!!! THIS SHOW HAD ABSOLUTELY THE PERFECT BALANCE OF COMEDY AND REALISM!!! EVERY ACTOR AND ACTRESS SEEMED TO BE PERFECTLY CAST FOR THEIR ROLE!!!! DO IT PLEASE!!! THANK YOU!!!
Why doesn’t anyone call out Howard Stern for the terrible interview he did with Dana Plato, which ultimately lead to her death?? Howard Stern is a horrible human being.
Another an Mrs garret.
