Adam Rich was a beautiful boy! unfortunately he ruined his acting career with drugs! I saw him on a kids game show once, he was higher than a kite! it wasn't too long after that he dropped out of sight. He was the only reason I watched "Eight is Enough"!



A dear friend of mine, who's Surname is Rich, by shear coincidence name her youngest son Adam! it was a surprise to her when I told about the Actor!

One of my favorite episodes of EIE was when Dad decided to have some QT with him (his character name escapes me) so he takes him to the YMCA to go swimming, not knowing that the Y had recently went co-ed. they both stripped down (of course the camera only showed them from the knees down ) to there Birthday Suits, and proceeded to the pool room, they opened the door and the next thing you here is very loud screaming!

I do know that during the series run of EIE, that Willie Aames was having some problems with drugs, but I don't know if that was when it started for Adam. His Bio at IMDb states that his drug problems started at age 10 with Marijuana.

Yes! Nicholas! Thanks B! and as for Keith Mitchell a.k.a. Keith Coogan (Jackie was his Maternal G-Pa!) I think he could have done a lot more with his career, he did mainly guest appearances on shows like Little House on the Prairie and Fantasy Island, just to name a few. I believe the last thing Keith did as a child actor was "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead".
