Adam Rich, ‘Eight Is Enough’ star, dead at 54
Page Six ^ | 01/08/2023 | Desiree Murphy

Adam Rich, best known for starring in “Eight Is Enough,” has died. He was 54.

The actor died Saturday at his Los Angeles area home, a family member confirmed to TMZ.

A cause of death has yet to be revealed but there was reportedly no foul play, a law enforcement source told the outlet, adding that Rich was found lifeless by an unidentified person who came to his residence.

Page Six has reached out to Rich’s rep for comment.

Born Oct. 12, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York, Rich rose to fame in the ’70s after portraying Nicholas Bradford, the youngest son of the Bradford brood, on “Eight Is Enough.”

The ABC show, which also starred Dick Van Patten, Lani O’Grady, Connie Needham, Grant Goodeve and more, ran from 1977 to 1981.

“I think he’s why the show was a big success,” Van Patten said of his former co-star in a 2011 interview with Stephen J. Abramson for the Television Academy Foundation. “People loved him! [Fans] named a child Nicholas and everything because of him.”

He added, “He was cute, and he was a good actor. He was very natural.”

Rich’s other TV credits include “Code Red,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “Small Wonder,” “St. Elsewhere” and “Baywatch.”

They’re certainly all programmed to say the right thing!

I HATE to jump to conclusions but so much lately, it’s difficult not to. My one remaining sister passed away last year at the age of 88 - no medical problems - NO VAX - evidently a heart attack in her own home; found by grandchildren.

SOOO maybe these other deaths have nothing to do with the shot but it’s certainly worthy of discussion - which will never happen in this country!

Soup-bowl cut. Don’t really recall lots of real boys except my favorite cousin did have it, maybe another of them too.

Thankfully they started going away in the ‘80s. No more long-haired guys of any age.

Then the ‘90s came and it all started again….

Heh heh. He didn’t seem real sharp, even for a ‘tard.

For some bizarre reason mothers LOVED that hair for their boys.

Probably because it was easy to do with only scissors.

It's a version of the old bowl haircut. Results vary by size of bowl and size of head. And it is cheap.

It’s even easier to use electric clippers with a plastic comb attachment.

“Page Six has reached out to Rich’s rep for comment.”

He has not worked in at least 20 or 30 years, why does he need a Rep?

Something tells me Adam was a lefty. Right-wingers don’t refer to their freedoms as FreeDUMB’s.

I just saw that tweet was posted by actor Adam Baldwin.

R.I.P. Adam Rich.

Baldwin is such a badass. Love the guy!

Re: "Eight Boosters Is Enough"

Thanks for finding the 2021 Adam Rich social media post badgering his readers to get vaxxed.

You are going to take some serious FR heat for disrespecting the dead, but the headline is brilliant!

He’d had long-standing drug abuse issues.

That was my first thought.

God I hated his haircut as a child.

Then you must have loved Oliver from the Brady Bunch.
