The entire cast of “Eight is Enough” reunited on The Today Show this morning – but with one exception. Adam Rich was nowhere to be found. Rich has had it rough the past couple of decades, dealing with substance abuse and other crimes. In 1991 he was arrested for trying to break into a pharmacy to steal prescription drugs. Dick Van Patten was actually the one who bailed him out of jail that time. More recently in 2003, he was arrested for a DWI – where he almost hit a police car in Los Angeles.

Betty Buckley was NOT one of the kids - she played Abby, the stepmother.
Susan Richardson wasn't there either, didn't anybody notice that?
Betty Buckley played the step-mother. The original mother character died very early on in the series. Adam Rich was such a cute little kid. It's very sad that so many child actors grow up having so many problems.
any word on why susan richardson doesn't do reunions with the cast? There isn't anything out there about her lately.
I am also wondering about Susan Richardson. I mean, they explained that Lani O'Grady died, and had a note from Adam Rich, but no word on Susan Richardson.
The original mother was a girlfriend of John Travolta......she was 40+, he was 20 and from what I've read, both were very much in love.
She died of cancer before they got married.
I don't like the way this is written as a slam against Adam when clearly he wasn't the only former cast member to not show up. Dianne wasn't there, neither was Susan. Yet because Adam chose not to come, it's because he's a criminal. I'm surprised any of them do interviews if this is how they are treated.
