Actor Adam Rich, best known for his portrayal of the precocious Nicholas Bradford on ABC's Eight is Enough from 1977 to 1981 passed away yesterday. No cause of death was given. He was 54.
I have to confess that when I saw the headline, I had some skepticism.
After all, back in 1996 Rich participated in a death hoax along with an obscure magazine out of San Francisco called Might which had published a story that Rich had been murdered. Intended as a satire on celebrity culture, it had the effect of cruelly rendering Rich's TV father Dick Van Patten inconsolable.
However, it appears that it is not a hoax this time around. All of us must go at some time and Rich's time has now come. He might not have been part of the 27 club, but 54 is still an awfully young age to leave this world. R.I.P.
