Don Grady 'My Three Sons' Star Dead at 68

http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/06/27/0627-don-grady-2.jpg

Don Grady -- who played one of the sons on the TV classic, "My Three Sons" -- has died at the age of 68 ... this according to one of his co-stars.

"Sons" star Barry Livingston just posted on Facebook, "My dear friend and TV brother Don Grady passed away today. He was an inspiration to me in so many ways."

Grady had reportedly been suffering from cancer.

Grady was an original Mouseketeer on the "Mickey Mouse Club"  ... before going on to play the role of  Robbie Douglas on "My Three Sons" from 1960 to 1972.

Grady was also a pretty successful musician ... he's credited with writing the music for the Ellen Barkin movie "Switch" ... and the theme song for "The Phil Donahue Show."

Grady is survived by his wife Ginny and their two children.

The late Lani O'Grady (of 'Eight is Enough' fame) was Don's sister. Their original last name was Agrati.

Lani was my favorite on EIE.  :-*

I grew up watching My Three Sons and have pleasant memories of the show. R.I.P Mr. Grady, say hi to Lani for us.

Just found out about this. Didn't watch the show much, but it is always sad when a star of a classic TV show passes on. :(

My great aunt was friends with the Livingston Boy's aunt. How's that for six degrees of separation?  8)

Just dawned on me... Uncle Charlie, Bub, Beverly Garland, Fred MacMoron, and now Robbie are gone.

Lets hope no more bad luck hits this show's cast....
