Don Grady, Ex-Mouseketeer And ‘My Three Sons’ Star, Dies At 68
in the iconic TV series “My Three Sons,” died Tuesday after fighting cancer. He was 68.
The 1960s-era sitcom star was also one of the original Mouseketeers, a role he played when he was 11.
Barry Livingston, who played Grady’s adopted brother on “My Three Sons,” expressed his sadness on Facebook, writing “Sad, sad day. My dear friend and TV brother, Don Grady, passed away today.
He was an inspiration to me in so many ways and his impact on my life is indelible. I will miss him greatly.”
Grady is survived by his wife, Ginny, and their son, Joey, and daughter, Tessa.

No - he played Robbie.
The funny thing about that show is, there were actually four brothers. People mostly remember Robbie, Chip and Ernie. But Ernie was adopted during the run of the story. The original brothers were Mike (the eldest), Robbie and Chip. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

So the wrote it so his character got married and moved away. He was mentioned a few times after that and then they just dropped it. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
