CONRAD BAIN, 89
Died Jan. 14th. Played the wealthy Manhattan widower who raised his housekeeper's kids after she died on "Different Strokes" which ran 1978-1984. Earlier he had played the conservative neighbor, Dr. Arthur Harmon, who often clashed with "Maude" from 1972 to 1978.
I never watched "Different Strokes" but was a big fan of "Maude." I knew he looked familiar the few times I did see parts of "Different Strokes." Mostly, I just couldn't stand that Gary Coleman.
NED WERTIMER, 89
Died Jan January 2nd. Played the uniformed, mustachioed Ralph the Doorman on the Jeffersons from 1975 to 1985. He was a Navy pilot during World War II. Star of the show Sherman Hemsley died July 24, 2012.
I was a big fan of the show and liked how he was always angling for a bonus. Not as good as "Rhoda's" Carlton, your doorman, though.
