He was also being considered for the starring role in "The Graduate" that Dustin Hoffman eventually got.

Not Chip!
Why is “My Three Sons” not on Nick at Nite or ever in reruns? Wow, I remembered when the Douglass Family moved from New Rochelle, NY to California, Chevy was the sponsor.
He also wrote the theme song to the Phil Donohue show.
I am so sorry to hear that he went at such a more or less young age. METV is claiming a share of victims, first Frank Cady and now Don Grady. May God keep them both.
Robbie, Katie and the triplets seem like 15 years past. It is hard to believe that it was so long ago.
When I was around 8 and my older brothers were 11 and 13 we stopped in the dime store and bought a cheap but pretty good looking vase fro Mothers Day.
The only card we could find said “from your son”, so we scratched that out and wrote 3 Sons. I remember when we gave it to her it seemed to affect her.
Many years later, when Mother was in a nursing home she told me the most valuable thing she owned was that vase and card. For some reason that TV show being on back then had something to do with it. Mother is gone now but I sent the vase and card to my Daughter and grandchildren hoping they will keep it in memory of the best Mother ever.
BTW, I always liked Fred McMurry. I have no idea of his politics but he just seemed conservative.
Anyone getting to hang around with his tv wife was lucky. I had some uncomfortable eight year old moments laying on the floor watching her.
Yeah...he was a lucky guy.
He looks just like my youngest Uncle.
Gosh we’re getting old
fer cryin out loud! Now the kids of that show are dying off too?! I used to watch that show all the time. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid.
Oh no! I always envied Tina Cole.
Man, do I ever feel old!
Great show. I have many memories. RIP.
awwwww....RIP, Don - you were my favorite. such a cutie.
In the earlier b&w episodes of “My Three Sons,” Grady (quite amusingly) played Robbie as a somewhat awkward, slow-witted kid. Sometime by the color episodes, he became more of a mister hip/cool-cat kind of guy. Which I guess paid off, because Robbie managed to acquire the fetching Tina Cole as his missus!
Don’s real-life sister was actress Loni O’Grady, who played Mary the medical student in the late 1970’s TV series “Eight is Enough.” Loni suffered from panic attacks for much of her life and died of an accidental prescription drug overdose on Sept. 25, 2001.....just a week before what would have been her 47th birthday. I hope she and her brother are together now.
As for Fred MacMurray, I remember seeing MANY years ago a movie called “Kisses for My President,” which starred Polly Bergen as America’s first woman president and Fred as the First Gentleman. The movie was released in 1964. I think I saw it on TV when I was a kid.
This can’t be. He’s just a kid.
Uncle Charlie’s going to be very upset.
RIP, Don.
RIP Mr. Grady, and thanks for the memories.
BTW...Don Grady was the real-life brother of the late Lani O’Grady, who played the eldest daughter Mary Bradford in “Eight Is Enough.”
